I stopped listening after he started shouting at her, and the moderator did nothing. Help me out:

When Trump slammed her with NAFTA, the only response from her that I heard was "That's your opinion! That's your opinion!"

It didn't sound too good. How did she come back from it?

Trump is such a festering shithole...

She quietly poked him and he reacted badly.

I think the moderator did it exactly right. He let them go back and forth with each other. He didn't let anyone dominate. It was GREAT!

Brian Williams just commented on his "resting...face." Nothing went well for him. The cocaine rumors are flying.

Hard to believe he believes himself to be a good negotiator at all, to be frank. I know that he would suck at poker.

Do re-watch when you can, Artistus. I got nervous about where you did initially, but my husband would not change the channel and told me I needed to watch. Glad I did. I think you will enjoy.

Someone should have called the police to pull clinton off of trump. It was like a 3 year old trying to go up against Muhammad Ali. Anyone that thinks trump won should be put under a 72 hour psychiatric evaluation. It was probably the most lopsided debate in American presidential history.

This made that look like a slapping match between two 5 year olds. This will be the metric in future debates. "XXXX did well but they didnt do Clinton vs Trump well"

he told Trump there was no more time, but Trump said he wanted to make a quick point, and then he went on and on. Lester tried to stop him briefly and then just let him go for a while. That's the point where I was yelling at the TV :p

But Lester did a good job otherwise. He did fact-check Trump at least twice I think. Very refreshing. Candy Crowley is in the clear now
