HC seriously has impressed me. I expected her to stand there, getting more and more tired as the night went on. She’s getting more energetic as time passes. Trump is unprepared and not at all composed, while HC is both prepared and composed. Seriously, I see this as HC shining and Trump failing to look the part of the POTUS. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Are we watching the same debate? Trump is getting schlonged here. Problem is that even so he is sounding “better than expected” in the sense that he is coming across as a more or less fit-to-walk-free deplorable putz, rather than The Joker on Bath Salts. As has been said often pre-debate that is a plus for him. ---
