I’m no fan of Hillary Clinton.
That said, she took Donald Trump to the woodshed in the first debate.
She came out well prepared and almost immediately put him on the defense. He missed opportunities to turn the table on her, and let her dominate with her version of the “facts”.
Trump was embarrassingly weak on facts and detail. He was vague and unspecific. With so much ammunition available in Clinton history, he used almost none of it. It seemed reminiscent of Mitt Romney’s unwillingness to challenge Obama. In case you have forgotten, he lost the election.
In addition to Trump’s unpreparedness and Clinton’s mastery of the issues and the stage, the moderator crafted questions designed to weaken Trump while leaving Clinton untouched.
Trump’s performance made me again wish the Republicans had nominated someone able to adequately debate Clinton. This debate was little more than a ninety minute Hillary Clinton show.
I’ll say again, I am no fan of Hillary Clinton. It would be tragic for America if she wins this election. I am hopeful that this debate is not a reflection of how the election turns out, because by any measure…
… Hillary Clinton won.

No difference between Kasich and Clinton. Both bought and paid for career politicians who happen to sign their checks on the backside while Trump signs his checks on the front side.
I thought Trump did a great job especially in the beginning. He has a big mountain to climb since he is running against not only Clinton but also the establishment duopoly and the media. I believe he is going to win.
I disagree just because a crook is smooth talker doesn’t mean she fooled anyone.
I agree with you. I’m afraid that Trump has no real answers. I wish we had gotten Kasich. Kasich can lead this country. I don’t know who to vote for .
