Trump was claiming about 30 seconds after the debate that all the online polls showed he won.

and that Trump not only lost but lost bigly.

Prediction markets, CNN, etc all show strong trend toward Clinton.

Online polls are meaningless. They're not representative of all voters just how active a candidates supporters are online.

No one in their right mind would say he won. No way. Not even close.
