“Trump is winning” is only applicable on a grading scale of biblical proportions.

I’m sure if you read Brietbart, you’d know.

And he can’t stop interrupting her, while Clinton lays out the argument that he’s a complete scumball.

Trump can’t really win this topic.

People laughed at his claim he has respect for women.

“Nobody has more respect for women than I do.” The jackass will put that on his tombstone.

And back to the emails. He can’t stay on topic, and the moderator (Mattace? Wallews?) doesn’t stop him.

How could anyone think Trump is winning this debate? He’s incoherent and can’t answer a straight question. He just invents nonsense.

The amount of projection going on would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad. Everything he accuses her of is something that he himself has done. Who’s running a sleazy campaign? Inciting his supporters to violence? It ain’t Hillary.
