From the link ...

Quote:

A CNN/ORC poll of debate watchers released after the event found 62% felt Clinton won compared to 27% for Trump. The poll suggests the debate audience was a bit more Democratic than the public as a whole, about on par with the Democratic tilt in the audience that watched the first debate in 2008 between Obama and John McCain.

A "bit more Democratic" doesn't account for 62 to 27 ... LOL!

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

It wasn't postulation. It was a statement of fact.

She left him looking like a disingenuous, narcissistic little boy.

first up I didnt see everything... maybe half... but I thought Trump won to be honest he spoke very very plainly and whilst he mentioned her job in govt.. he didnt slam her about things she had done years ago.... which I was sorry to see she did......

I didnt think bringing up someones past is the right way in a pre President debate...it reminds me you have nothing else to throw at them....she also didnt have any victories to brag about after all it has been 8 years...

my money is on Trump in that round.

I only saw the first 20 minutes and I agree with you. I had to go out and missed the rest so it could have turned around.

Hillary started her attack by talking about her Draper/Mercer father and her 'humble' beginnings and then went on to attack Trump for borrowing money from his father to start out and talking about his billions. Bad form and she was obviously just trying to rile him and wind him up. That is what she prepared for and, up until the time I had to go out, she didn't wind him up as much as she hoped.

The Clintons are worth well over $100 million and a good percentage of that was made from dodgy ME deals using their 'foundations'.

Can you imagine if Hillary had invited the Jane Doe who is suing Trump for raping her when she was 13? Wouldn't that be a freak show? Loudmouth billionaire Mark Cuban, Jennifer Flowers who is an old woman now and who is being used once again and Trump's child rape victim. Jesus.

Very funny- both of these 2 clowns have too much baggage.

Couldn't the USA find 2 better candidates?

bobs... we have no better....both cringe worthy

it will become the lesser of the two evils... simple as that..

voters in America are as dumb as we are..

we vote for whom ever a select group tell us is the best we have.... Grin

my god if they are the best god help the worst.

You're right - they are both creepy.

I would say that Trump's health and "finger" is a LOT more stable than Hillary's ....

she even needs help to climb some steps. How about her head-nodding episodes?

strangely enough a lot do.care...

we cannot survive alone nef... and you would be foolish to think we can.....China is playing the heavy in our neck of the woods.....their might against ours is laughable but with America attached to us.. it makes all the difference..... they wont take us completely for granted.... as it is we are sitting ducks..I cant think of any other nation that would back us up if we upset China..

and be honest nef it takes our minds off what we have here... dunno about you but they are even more cringeworthy..

WE CARES!

It's theatre on the world stage if nothing else, and then who comes in is going to effect the Middle East, Russia, and China - and ultimately us.

520 Australians lost their lives in Vietnam because of the US presidency agreeing to a cockamamie military adventure over there.

Mark Latham said in his article the other day : The US gets uncomfortable if it feels it doesn't have enough enemies worldwide.

Likely Benjamin Franklin's American 'gift' to the world... The ghost of Franklin still sticking it up the English Aristocracy...

And now the world is lumped with Trump... A latter day 'Caligula' wannabe for an American President.

Yanks... Obsessed with living in Golding's infantilised Lord of the Flies.
