by all accounts trump is holding his own in this mass debate.

OutriderOCT. 10, 2016 - 11:41AM JST by all accounts trump is holding his own in this mass debate.

LMAO. Which debates are you watching, exactly?

hillary deflects trumpys questions re bills sexyall exploits by instead talking abt muslim war hero.

-25 ( +7 / -32 )

Plenty of swinging punches from both here but nothing which landed on the chin for me. Hillary was understandably evasive at times and Trump typically lapsed into utter gibberish at times.

Trump looked a bit perturbed. Pacing around, interrupting, paranoid about fairness and all that sniffing again....

I have to say Hillary looks as fit as a fiddle.

Trump did well in the debate?! Must have been some other debate! He just interrupted, ranted and rambled off topic as usual. If that's what his decreasing number of supporters like well.....ok. Thanks Donald! Amazing how his, 'Locker room talk' apology quickly changed to ISIS and people getting their heads chopped off. Really relevant Donald!! And he brings up Bill Clinton as though that makes it ok for him to, 'Grab them by the p_____'? If people can't see how bad Trump is, not only as a candidate, but as a person it really says a lot about his supporters.

18 ( +27 / -9 )

For someone who has the intellect of a junior high school student Trump didn't do so bad. That would have been my answer to the last question.

He still lost though, because as usual he is all out attack with baseless accusations, deflects critical questions about him, lies and lies, has no actual policies other than vague keywords he remembers and goes after the hosts (I mean really, "I got less talking time than her"???).

No republican rhetoric is going to change the fact he lost.

14 ( +22 / -8 )

I noticed the energy levels of both candidates was so different. Donald was ready to talk and respond the entire time, all while standing. Hillary on the other hand sat down immediately after being introduced and seemed to lack the energy and stamina to complete the debate with the same dynamic as Trump. I think Trump clearly won the debate this time.

-17 ( +13 / -30 )

@nadaku,

baseless accusations

Please explain them. I didn't hear anything baseless at all. They all seemed like pretty good points.

-14 ( +6 / -20 )

Trump is like Samson in the GOP temple -- bringing the entire structure down along with himself. The party is a national disgrace.

AP: Trump opens debate with insults aimed at Clinton

Fact-checking the AP ...

I question that title. First, he didn't open the debate, Hillary spoke first, after the moderators initial statement. Second, where is there an insult in his opening statement? He doesn't mention her.

Was there once a time where the Associated Press was balanced, and eschewed publishing opinionated articles? How long ago was that? Anybody remember?

Baseless accusations:

Clinton putting coalminers out of business (any proof for this?) she is all talk and no action (she has signed a lot of legislation actually and yet it takes more than one senator to enact legislation) and yet again, the emails... she hasn't been indicted, she hasn't been arrested, there is no story here. simple Birtherism... sigh. Not. Even. Close.

The man is hopeless, absolutely hopeless.

I like the bit about hillary quoting a movie to deflect the wikileaks mention of her duplicity, 2016 folks, what happened?!

"I noticed the energy levels of both candidates was so different. Donald was ready to talk and respond the entire time, all while standing."

He looked a paranoid wreck to be. He was jittery, irritable and edgy.

He made Tim Kaine look like a pot smoker.

13 ( +20 / -7 )

Thought it was American politics at its best/worst and despite feeling frustrated at times when both candidates (especially Trump) dodged the question that was asked I still thought it was an unbelievable debate to watch that will make history.

Both are incredibly tough debaters and it often felt like a street-smart kid vs book-smart one backyard brawl and am afraid the ghetto kid may have just won this one (at least for quite a few undecided voters seeking 'real stuff').

0 ( +3 / -3 )

'Sexyall exploits' ? That sounds like NBC Today show host Billy Bush trying to affect his cousin GWB's Texas twang. Time for Trump to join indefinitely suspended Billy Bush on the unemployment line.

Again with the appearance shtick. The most important thing is who put what points across in the most understandable way. It's why many people keep falling for the same BS because the actors are working off great scripts. Wake up!!

-9 ( +4 / -13 )

Honestly couldn't tell who won the debate.. who cares. I'm sure there will be online polls stating either way, and the candidates will spin it their way regardless. Perhaps for the next debate...they should auto cut off the candidates mic when they reach their time limits. Avoids having to deal with accusations of favoritism (re: Trump).

Hillary and her two moderators lost. Trump won! Next debate in 10 days.

Trump's vulgarity - the "worst" yet though used in a private conversation in 2005 and leaked now ... Land Sakes! ... of all the coincidences: Billy Bush (a cousin of THOSE Bushes it seems) and Wikileaks within days (hours?) of each other?! - is not an issue, friends. So what? He's vulgar. So what? If you haven't acquired immunity yet to the grossest crudity in the entertainment world then you've been living in monasteries and convents. I don't particularly care for the artless vulgarity of TV and many of the comments appearing here, but "I'll defend to the death their right to be vulgar". Trump's said vulgar things? So f***ing what?

Ha! Now fact-checking the transcript I posted from vox.com!

Somehow vox.com dropped one sentence and morphed the next: "No I didn’t say that at all; I don’t think you understand what was said."

into: "I don't think you understood."

And given how critical it is, somehow I don't think it was an accident.

This was locker room talk. I'm not proud of it. I apologize to my family.

OutriderOCT. 10, 2016 - 11:41AM JST by all accounts trump is holding his own in this mass debate.

It's not a mass debate, there's only two of them. It's a town-hall debate.

Unless by "holding his own", you mean Trump was actually mass debating. I haven't seen video yet, so I'll have to take your word on it. But if true, it's hardly surprising. Trump is such a narcissist that pretty much every word out of his mouth is some form of mass debation.

I can't believe Clinton actually used Abe Lincoln to lie about her emails. No, wait, I do believe it.

Hillary = MORE WAR!

This debate clearly outlined that! She said she would make a "no fly zone" over Syria.... Gee, that will go down just great with the Russians!

“The main reason behind successful immigration should be painfully obvious to even the most dimwitted of observers: Some groups of people are almost always highly successful given only half a chance (Jews, Hindus/Sikhs and Chinese people, for example), while others (Muslims, blacks and Roma, for instance) fare badly almost irrespective of circumstances.”

Isn't it perplexing how the media is fixated on one story while all the while ignoring hillarys true perception of certain groups of people. What a joke!!

-9 ( +3 / -12 )

My favorite point in the debate was when they were talking over each other and they were both telling the other to go ahead, say your piece. Don the Con actually said, and I quote, "No, you go ahead Hillary, I'm a gentleman." OMG, WTH, did he really say that ? YEAH, RIGHT ! ! !

7 ( +9 / -2 )

Niether candidate did particularly well, but I felt Trump came off the worse.

Both were evasive in answering pointed questions they wanted to avoid, but Clinton was the only one who provided substantive answers to policy questions, while Trumps stock answer to almost everything was that Clinton was a disaster because she hadnt fixed everything wrong in the world in 30 years of political experience. When asked what he would do, he never provided a solid answer and always framed whatever he would do as the opposite of whatever Clinton would do.

Trump also came across as childish in his spats with the moderators. And in constantly interrupting Clinton just for the sake of interrupting her and not to actually say anything of substance. Not sure how many times Anderson Cooper said "Let her respond, she did not interrupt you" but it was a lot.

6 ( +10 / -4 )

I do believe crooked Hillary should wipe that smirk off her face. She has a lot to answer for.

That was beyond awesome. Even the CNN talking heads afterwards admitted that it was a "draw", so hearing that from CNN= "Trump win". And the CNN poll again....Yeah of course Hillary won (in a heavily skewed Democratic poll of 58% Clinton supporters).

-9 ( +4 / -13 )

Remarkable display of resilience by Trump. I seriously thought he was done for when he was grilled about his sexist and crude comments by Anderson Cooper and Hillary Clinton. But he came back and got stronger while Hillary got weaker and ran out of steam. Any lesser man would have given up.

Presidents are selected not elected. Both are puppets to be honest. In all honesty, the election has already been decided.

He did great, went after her, calm and cool-headed. And the Dems thought it was so easy. Well, he wasn't a punk, that's for damn sure! But typical liberals always underestimate any conservative and overestimate themselves.

Trump used the revelations as an opening to make good on his repeated promises to throw Bill Clinton’s sexual history into the center of his campaign against his wife. Less than two hours before the debate, he brazenly met publicly with several women who have accused Bill Clinton of unwanted sexual advances and even rape.

He was lucky this didn't come up...

Trump did seem senile at one point, which is new. Immediately after the mod asked Clinton a very sharp question about her emails Trump asked "why arent you asking her about the emails?" Too which Cooper responded "Uh...we just did..."

Do you call constant interruptions, bleating about bias and pacing around pulling his trademark smacked-arse face cool and calm-headed?

I actually thought he did better than in the last debate. This was probably due to the fact that he was more in his element of a slanging match, but to call his performance calm and cool-headed seems to show that you didn't watch this in its entirety.

A washington times poll currently has the following:

Hillary Clinton 4428 (13%) Donald Trump 17122 (51%) Neither 611 (2%) Gary Johnson 11280 (34%)

4 ( +5 / -1 )

I didn't see the debate. But from reading the comments here it would appear that trump supporters think trump won and Clinton supporters think Clinton won. So I'm guessing there won't be a big change in numbers based on the debate. But they haven't had a poll since his groper admittance tape came out, and that will probably have a sizeable effect.

3 ( +5 / -2 )

Great performance from Trump, the next president. Clinton is just crooked and how she got here, god only knows. She should be a jailbird for all her crimes but money and influence gives you a free pass it seems. I really hope President Trump follows through on his promise and next year sees her jailed.

Hail President Trump!

-10 ( +3 / -13 )

I'd say Hillary was very very kind to the Donald here. When he started going off on Bill Clinton and his sexual adventures when questioned about last weekend's revelations, Hillary should have fired back by saying:

1) Bill Clinton is not running for presidency here

2) The Donald, a few years back, was on record as saying he didn't think much of the allegations about Bill Clinton and basically dismissing the women involved

3) There has recently been allegations against the Donald of unwanted sexual advances towards women

4) The Donald has had affairs while being married to his ex-wives.

Hypocrisy is part of this Republican campaign. Basically, Hillary held back this time. Then again, the democrats probably don't want the Donald to have any reason to bow out too early. I have a feeling more disgusting revelations will come out as the elections come closer. What was the name of the song by Vanessa Williams?

7 ( +10 / -3 )

I watched the debate, but ... I just wish they provided simultaneous translation into English so that I could understand what Trump was trying to say. When only one of the speakers uses comprehensible English and speaks, for the most part, in complete sentences it's really hard to judge who won!

Bass4: why do you have such a fascination with Bill's affairs when it's Hillary that's a candidate? It makes no sense that I can reason to dwell on the spouse of the candidate when the other candidate doesn't have a very enviable past either. Saying it's because Hillary "approved" doesn't make sense either because in the case of Trump it is obvious that his first two wives didn't, hence the divorces, and his third obviously also approves or she would be filling for divorce with all that's known about Trump's affairs. Can you enlighten me on this?

Every single time that Trump was asked what he would do, he never answered clearly and just started saying how bad Hillary is or was at everything. He offers nothing so he will not win on Nov 8. I also think Hillary let him off today. She could have gone for the jugular with his, 'It was just locker room talk' excuse. Anyway, the Dems shouldn't be too worried as, without a doubt, that recent video is the nail in the coffin for Trump's campaign. How many female supporters did he lose because of it? Quite a lot of males too I'd say. In the debate he really looked like he knows he's going to lose the election.

I am not American therefore I can not vote. I have no bias against each candidate. In my humble eyes, Trump stand straight and talk bluntly with full eye contact. Cliton sit and smile and tried to hide something. She avoided eye contact.

She changed uncomfortable topic such as Bangazi and her husband Arabian nights stories. She looks not sincere. Trump is not acting. Cliton is the polished Greek statue.

Trump is real human with rage and temper. Cliton is the Robot without natural instincts.

According their facial expression, Trump is angry and frustrated for injustices. Clinton is smiling secretively. Americans need to choose straight talker and sugar coated lemon.

Trump may be reincarnated by late American cowboy actor John Wayne Who talks touch and full of actions and adventures. Cliton is boring as Current president.

True, but if Hillary wants to sling mud and go back in the time machine 12 years ago, Trump can do the same and go back 40 years ago on either of them, they targeted Melania after her speech at the RNC, she wasn't running, so all is far in the world of politics and I would do the same, if you try and guttersnipe me, dude, I'll do the same to you 10 fold! It's all legit.

Frankly I am disappointed and disgusted by the media and the candidates turning a Presidential race into "virtual reality tv show" and more like a Jerry Springer show than covering hard topics ongoing around that the US is involved with. These two clowns have taken the honor and integrity of the Oval office it's no wonder that Russia, China, NK and now Philippines have no respect for Obama or any future elected official due to this circus...Reagan, Kennedy and the rest of the great past Presidents are rolling in their graves..what a shame, so sorry US people.

I can`t believe Trump brought up the rape case from '75 where she got the rapist off the hook by vicitim shaming (ruining her life) AND she showed up to the debate!!!

So, how is it a public servant (Clinton) can make $250,000,000 by serving the American people? Is there any Japanese politican is history that ever made that much off Japan?

Why did all the refugees come to Europe?????????? Clearly Obama and Hillary played the largest (Only?) hand in it. After watching this debate, any of you Clinton supporters are merely victims of mainstream media brainwash, dying to defend the very system that controls you. NEWSFLASH! Hillary HATES YOU AND DOESNT CARE!

What, your viewpoint on Donald Trump possibly going on trial for multiple counts of rape, his name being in Jeffrey Epstein's book and him saying Epstein's a "terrific guy?"

Not being a journalist, I had to check on the application of *guttersnipe" as a verb. There is no such definition. A noun, a guttersnipe is a person of "the lowest economic or moral station."

Yeah, Trump's comments about jailing political opponents was straight about of the dictator handbook. The good thing for him is that his white trash supporters don't know any better, and the ones who do are anti-Hillary bots so democracy is meaningless to them anyway.

Hillary ran for cover behind Abraham Lincoln in a jarring non-sequitor. She's got plenty to hide.

Hillary relied on previously used stump speech rhetoric to get through the night. She failed miserably. Voting Americans saw she's just an elitist, status quo, establishment candidate who doesn't bring a single new idea to the table. Everything she stands for has been tried and has failed. She had to steal Bernie's free college idea just to have a chance with younger voters whom she has dismissed as "basement dwellers". Yet another swing and a miss.

The Republican party should be ashamed of themselves for dragging the politics into the gutter with this joke of a candidate. May their defeat by massive.

Trump's campaign had not been able to nudge above 40% since he clinched the nomination in May. Not nearly enough to win. And now he's headed down again.

Trump will be like a black hole for the GOP -- sucking everything into total darkness. He has made Hillary Clinton look very, very good.

Clinton was asked about an excerpt of a hacked e-mail containing potentially controversial excerpts from a $225,000 paid speech she delivered to the National Multi-Housing Council in 2013, after she left public office.

In her speech to the nonprofit, Clinton argued that politicians “need both a public and a private position” in order to accomplish anything. The debate moderators asked Clinton on behalf of a voter, “Is it ok for politicians to be two-faced?”

Clinton responded, “As I recall, that was something I said about Abraham Lincoln after having seen the wonderful Steven Spielberg movie ‘Abraham Lincoln,'” she said. “It was a master class watching president Lincoln get the Congress to approve the 13th amendment, it was principled and strategic. I was making the point that it is hard sometimes to get the Congress to do what you want to do.”

Only die-hard Hillary supporters would believe that.

Interesting - you'll go on and on repeating the same things over and over about liberals, Democrats, Clinton and Obama until everyone's sick of seeing them, but when it comes to Donald Trump all we get is "I already said, my viewpoint on that."

What, your viewpoint on Donald Trump possibly going on trial for multiple counts of rape

I seriously doubt it, if Hillary won't see a day in jail, then Trump won't either. She didn't do anything and he didn't either, for if he did, he would have already been arrested or at least been charged. Nice try though.

Not being a journalist, I had to check on the application of *guttersnipe" as a verb. There is no such definition. A noun, a guttersnipe is a person of "the lowest economic or moral station."

I know exactly what it is and why I said it, thank you though

Trump reminds me of a Vietnamese King who was dethroned by the French authorities on Set 3, 1907, namely Nguyen Phuoc Chieu, whose reign name was Thanh Thai [Complete Achievement].. Nguyen Phuoc Chieu was described by several French Catholic journalists as the man who loves the women so much that he opens up the women's belly to see what is inside it. Last evening, Trump apologized for his "locker talks" that he had been very respectful of the women, especially the married "hot sh..,." by groping them between their legs and freely assaulting them because of his stardom. Furthermore, he threatened Hilary Clinton, the female Democratic Presidential candidate, that if he wins this election, he would put her in jail. It's not only outrageous but also unconstitutional. It may explain, inter alia, why did dozens of GOP leaders distance themselves from Trump. The race, I strongly believe, is over

Please stop. When it comes to the treatment of women, anything that can be said about Trump can also be said about Bill Clinton - and Hillary and the Left supported and defended him right on down the line. There are even multiple instances of women claiming that Bill raped and sexually assaulted them. Bubba has always lied about his sexual conquests so there is no reason to trust his word now. Hillary stood by her man the whole time. Why? Because she stood to gain from being Bill's wife - so she helped to smear and cover up for him. It's not that Hillary slept her way to the top. No, she got to the top by allowing her husband to sleep with - and even assault - other women. What is most screwed up about it is that it worked! She is the Democrat nominee and is all but certain to become the next president.

All of the establishment on the Left, a good part of the Right, and the main stream media are all supporting her. It would take a truly remarkable citizen revolt at the ballot box for her not to win. Politics is a dirty nasty business and Hillary plays the game as well as any back room wheeler and dealer. America is going to get a good hard dose of democracy right between the eyes over the next four years. Doubling down on failure is what America seems to do best these days.

Washington (CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan dealt his own party's presidential nominee a withering blow Monday, telling fellow Republicans he will no longer defend Donald Trump and will instead use the next 29 days to focus on preserving his party's hold on Congress.

The move -- highly unusual in US political history -- laid bare the seemingly intractable divisions now seizing the Republican Party with a month left before the presidential vote. Support for Trump among the GOP establishment, already weak amid disagreements over policy and tone, has now eroded to new lows.

In a conference call with members Monday morning, Ryan told lawmakers, "you all need to do what's best for you and your district," according to someone who listened to the meeting.

"He will spend his entire energy making sure that Hillary Clinton does not get a blank check with a Democrat-controlled Congress," said the person on the call — an implied acknowledgment that Trump no longer appears able to capture the White House.

Thing is, if the Democrats call Trump a misogynist, adulterer and what have you, and Trump hits back with stuff about Bill Clinton, there's a counterattack. Put it this way, imagine Bill Clinton had said this:

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Or if this accusation made been made about him:

Defendant Trump initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff’s pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.

Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened Plaintiff that, were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse of her by Defendant Trump, Plaintiff and her family would be physically harmed if not killed.

You just wouldn't be able to stop yourself going on about it, would you, no matter who had said what first? And of course Bill Clinton would be guilty as charged, wouldn't he? But it's Trump, so even though there are actual, specific accusations floating around this is your response.

All paid very well by Trump's campaign. At least two of the women had their stories debunked by Trump at the time they first hit public nearly 20 years ago. One woman was not associated with Bill, but with a criminal case in which Hillary, as a public defender, defended an accused rapist. (Trump doesn't appear to understand our legal system -- which is strange as often has he has been sued.)

It's funny for Trump to pay a lot of money dredging up things most Americans know well about in order to cover up his shameful behavior, now just being revealed. Only the very foolish are going to be taken in by the attempt to deflect.

I'm surprised Hillary didn't wobble to the ground! Imagine having to protect a philandering husband?

Hillary handled it very well. Trump is an excellent liar. Supposedly more "tapes" are going to be revealed about him, and they usually save the best ones closer to last. More and more women will come forward with stories. I believe even Bill Cosby will distance himself from Trump.

If so, it was brought to you by Donald J. Trump. His campaign is spending a lot of money to rehash all that Kenneth Starr found out and should have been resolved years ago.

Trump seems to have forgotten that President Clinton accepted an impeachment trial and then was cleared by a majority-Republican Congress which voted that none of his misdeeds rose to the level required for removal from office by our constitution. He's stupidly trying to tie Mrs. Clinton somehow to that.

Trump also seems to be ignorant of the fact that Bill Clinton's popularity and approval rating rose after the trial was over. The Trump Train is railroading itself.

The rumors have it that the tapes yet to be released reveal even worse -- and some racist -- spoutings by the Donald. Think Donald Sterling -- whom Trump reminds me of. You know those balloons they drop at the conventions from the ceiling? Well, in Trump's case, they're shoes. Another will drop very soon.

Just as 'declared innocent in court' doesn't mean 'factually innocent', not losing the impeachment vote doesn't mean 'cleared of wrongdoing'.

As far as 'by a majority-Republican Congress', a supermajority of 67 votes were needed for impeachment. If the Democratic minority pulls la palanca and votes as a bloc along party lines, which they did in this case with 45 votes, impeachment would fail, even without the votes of the ten Republican senators who crossed over. 'By a super-majority Republican Congress' would actually mean something.

And the 'clearing' was not universal:

Strangerland: What does that have to do with the fact that you've set an extremely low burden of proof with this comment

Maybe you can give more details. Like, what are you even talking about, burden of proof of what? And given that, what level of proof would satisfy you?

You'd love Putin's Russia. His opponents are routinely jailed or murdered

" you'd love Putin's Russia. His opponents are routinely jailed or murdered "

That is a pretty weird comment, considering the number of people who crossed the Clinton family and then suddenly disappeared. Clinton has a body count (google for it), Trump does not.

In the event, presidents can not jail people. They can appoint special prosecutors though, which Clintons long string of scandals sorely deserve. I assume you know that and are just flippant.

African-American protestor wears '(Bill) RAPE' t-shirt behind Hillary (on podium) at rally in Detroit, gets ejected ... NYT not covering it so we have to go to Daily Mail:

'You know, I do hope someone follows that gentleman out and stages an intervention,' Clinton told the crowd, yelling out a hearty laugh. 'He clearly has not been following this election very closely.'

And WaPo (limiting coverage to a vid and caption) scrubs her comment for her, because, y'know, 'intervention' is not something PC-minded people should be tossing around lightly:

At a rally in Detroit, Oct. 10, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton laughed at a protester who was led out, saying, "He clearly has not been following this election very closely."

I am delighted to hear that the protester was led out safely before a another Trump-paid plant could start a fight with him.

LOL at Hillary's leaked Goldman-Sachs speech: "We discovered Japan for Heaven sakes."

Wonder how the Japanese feel about that ...

Wikileaks: Hillary Clinton on Chinese Aggression: ‘You Can’t Blame’ China - 11 Oct 2016... “We have as much claim to all of the Pacific. And we could call it the American Sea, and it could go from the West Coast of California all the way to the Philippines. And, you know, my counterpart sat up very straight and goes, well, you can’t do that. And I said, well, we have as much right to claim that as you do,” she continued, according to the text. “I mean, you claim it based on pottery shards from, you know, some fishing vessel that ran aground in an atoll somewhere. You know, we had conveys of military strength. We discovered Japan for Heaven sakes.” ...

Down vote all you want, but the fact remains Mr. and soon to be President Trump will be getting a yuuuge bump in the upcoming national polls.
