I’m very pleased with Hillary’s performance. She exceeded my expectations.

Unfortunately, over the recent past our popular culture has made the trait of being out of f**s to give into some sort of admirable virtue.

Well, that’s your debate.

Trump got schlonged. OK? Very disgraceful. Sad!

Incredible restraint by Hillary to not respond, “Oh, boo hoo! Man up.”

Yeah, that wouldn’t cut it here on the Dope. The moderators here don’t let you insult obliquely like that, and rightly so.

#1. I can’t keep up with this thiread.

#2. I killed off half the bottle and I don’t think I’ve been this drunk since college.

#3 Go Hillary

So I think it’s pretty clear that Trump was being honest when he said he didn’t really prepare for the debate.

“If she wins I will absolutely support her”. I think that was the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever heard him say.

Don’t you think the moderator could have kept things more controlled? Especially, shutting up Donald Trump?

Crap. I had to leave for a minute and have fallen behind. He called women pigs and dogs.
Ooh, slam on Rosie O. You are one classy dude and you know how to stick to the topic.

A pol *never *publicly admits the possibility of losing.

There are Trump supporters in it.

MSNBC saying HC supporters should be very happy tonight!

Now that it’s over, all I have to say is WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT???

I’m relieved. She did well and didn’t let him rattle her.

Not surprisingly, he could barely string a sentence together and sounded out of control.

I can’t watch, I’m getting my info from you guys. Is the debate over? Are we on break?

I notice now how Donald Trump was on a hurry to get out, and Clinton remains shaking people’s hands.

There’s no way to convince the hardcore Trump supporters to vote Clinton and there’s no way to convince the hardcore Clinton supports to vote Trump. Overall, I think for undecided voters this is a Clinton win, which is all that matters from her perspective. Trump did actually a little bit better than I thought. I thought he would actually be a lot more explosive.
