my wife was watching the debate in the other room while i was watching the falcons kick the saints arse. i had gone in to get a beer and overheard the hannity thing. i had to ask my wife if he really just said that.
2016 Presidential Debates

it wasn't hannity talking. trump was saying something about not supporting the iraq war i think, and he kept saying "you can go ask sean hannity, he'll tell you"
Kind of like expecting Lester Holt to be neutralUsing Sean Hanniity as a fact checker:
I'll repeat what I said above. These debates are basically beauty contests, not about "winning" or "losing." What counts is which debater the undecided voter can best visualize in the WH press room, answering questions and representing the face of the nation. In that, the general opinion is that Donald came out on the short end. However, there are two more debates to go...
I agree Mr Earle, in this setting debate points are not the main thing. As someone who is neutral between the two candidates and will not be casting a vote(at all) in this election, I thought Trump had good command of the issues, but his presentation was awful, what with all the sighing and scowling he was doing(Remember Al Gore's sighing against W?). He did not look presidential. Hillary on the other hand still does not come across as very likeable, but I thought she kept her composure under some vicious attacks and at least played the part better. All of that leads me to believe last night's performance only helps her already extremely high likelihood of being elected as I've never thought Trump had much of a chance anyway.

well, he wouldn't have come off so bad if he wouldn't have had such a biased moderator
On the other hand, I don't think there's ever been a candidate so unprepared to stand on that stage as Trump was last night. And by extension, so unprepared for the office he's seeking. It plays right into Clinton's narrative that's he fundamentally unfit. Having that reality and those stakes demonstrated in front of 100 million people may sway some of the millennial voters who turned to third party options in protest. We'll see.
I think that was basically Earle's point--it's all about perception and optics, not a running score or ledger on debate points.
I agree with you from a visual standpoint....
She (to me) did look fragile. She walked with a very slow gait....very cautious
I can't stand her. You all know that. But she must have had the Nick Saban of debate coaches coaching her up in prep for last night.
Trump had Gus Malzahn.

You do realize Holt is a registered Republican right?

I didn't see her that way at all, and I'm not even a fan of hers. From the reading I've done this morning, I'd say your view of her is not the view most undecided had at all...
I had a meeting this morning with a couple who are both retired college professors. He in political science.
After we finished our discussion about the project itself....I asked if he watched the debate. He didn't even want to talk about it. His wife told me later he's just so disgusted with both candidates he can't bring himself to even discuss anything with anybody.
It's sad. This guy taught political science...probably has a ton of interesting perspective. But it doesn't matter....because he's disgusted.
I'm not thrilled myself but it is what it is and you have to keep going.....

Probably should just chalk it up to Ninety minutes of my life I could have
been better served doing something else....:rolleye2:
In the end, Clinton supporters saw this....
Trump supporters saw this......
It seemed more like this to me......
And in the end, it made me feel like this......:blush:
