I SPECIFICALLY requested a seat in the Phil Zone. Why am I right in front of Jerry?

Watching the SBS coverage in Australia; the commentator has mentioned that the moderator is a registered Republican, as opposed to what the Trump campaign has said.

Hillary in red! WTG!

Wonder if Holt is feeling pressure from NBC to make up for Lauer.

Hillary Clinton introduced First. Wearing a red pantsuit.

Trump wearing dark suit with blue tie.

Hillary looks healthy.

First thought: Hillary wore solid red. Awesome.

No opening statement. Clinton speaks first.

Income inequality. Clinton, why will you create more jobs?

I’m glad she wore red. She looks good in red. :slight_smile:

Trump looks bored. Frowning, looking around. Inattentive.

Lord, it’s hard to watch this. Donald Trump’s face is so very punchable…

Trump starts right off with the gloom and doom and xenophobia.

Feels like they should’ve had an opening statement, so that their answers to the first question weren’t essentially their opening statement…

Trump got both Mexico and China into his answer in less than 30 seconds

Mrs. Clinton ending her 1st statement strong by defining the debate for the audience. Good rhetorical move.

Disagree. As someone who spends time in a lot of meetings where I need to look like I give a shit, that’s someone trying to look engaged and interested

Hillary’s first answer is good, not great, IMO. Trump is making it pretty clear he didn’t prepare much. Very rambling answer.
