Trump spent half of his closing talking about Hillary.

The idea was to make your case to the American people for yourself. Hillary did that. Trump didn't. He basically said, "I am not her."

1. In virtually every segment Trump got the last word

including in the final closing "sell".

For a normal candidate this would have been an incredible advantage.

Trump pissed it away.

2. His closing was "ME GOOD HILLARY BAD!"

[BlueStreak]

3. He did not offer one positive, constructive thought during the entire 100 minutes

All he can do is gripe and criticize.

My only regret about all these debates is that Hillary never pushed back whenever Trump argued that Hillary should have passed some laws.

She really needed to say "Look, we are not running for King or Queen. In America, we have a democracy, and that requires consensus and compromise to pass any law. I have been in favor of (xxxx law) but unfortunately there have been enough people around to keep that from happening. And here's another thing that Donald doesn't seem to understand. All those other Senators and Congressmen don't report to the President. They report to their constituents. So when Donald claims he will come in an turn everything upside down, that isn't the way our system works. And a person who doesn't understand that cannot be qualified for this job. That's why every single President Americans have ever elected, other than George Washington, has had extensive experience in government and legislation."

I guess she had her reasons for not going there.

7. He would have

interrupted her so she couldn't finish her statement and it would have been way over his head and the heads of his followers, too much legal stuff to understand.

4. Ms.Clinton's

debate strategy was let the doofus hang himself with his righteous stupidity. And it sure worked. Bye bye Con Job maybe the Guys and Gals at the IRS and FBI will help you find your Make what ever great again from your digs at the Crowbar Hotel.

5. I wasn't thrilled that he was allowed to go second

I expected it would be 100% focused on need for change.

He's so paranoid about Hillary he rambled about her, and I laughed.

6. I was worried about that a bit also but Donnie came through for us.
