I know, I know, the Media views the debate as a solid win for Hillary. One hapless and deluded financial analyst even attributed the pop in stocks to Hillary "winning." (It was a win for international trade, this boob opined).
People in the Media do not understand that they can not score these "debates" as a debate. Debates in the Presidential race are not debates but an effort to make an impression. It goes back to the time of Ronald Reagan. The Democrat candidate tried to paint Reagan as an "extremist" who could not be trusted with the nuclear button. Reagan came off as a jovial fellow, quite safe. And he won the election.
Hillary's assignment was to paint Trump as a bigoted, racist misogynist, an extremist who could not be trusted as President. She was the aggressor throughout the event (no sympathy for the bullied girl). And she failed in her effort. Trump's assignment was to show that Hillary was an insider, part of the establishment responsible for screwing up things. Trump succeeded. The telling point was when Trump said that Hillary has been at it for 30 years and had only failures to show for it.
Will this win the election for Trump? Unknown, but it will not lose it.
Then there are side issues. The Moderator? A Democrat hack, obviously biased. He was urged to do "fact checking" which in Democrat parlance means to challenge the Republican with his own opinions. He did that. So, Trump was debating not only Hillary, but Lester Holt as well.
One sleeper issue is Hillary's health. Her handlers had done a marvelous job of makeup and she was able to stand for 90 minutes without having a seizure. How did she do it? We do not know. But a photo of her indicates that she had some kind of apparatus under her clothes to prevent seizure or a coughing fit.
