Bottom line from the debate: Hillary looked Presidential, Trump was a rambling wreck

I have NO idea how ANYONE could see Trump last night and think, "hey he looks presidential". Even conservatives in their hearts have to think the guy has serious control issues.

Hillary was calm and confident the whole time. I am so proud of her.

even the smallest criticism and today, everywhere he looks, headlines are saying he was a complete failure. That he looked like a fool and sounded like one too. His whole family is probably sounding like a broken record "you're great" "you're smart" "They are stupid and mean" etc. etc.

I was excited to see what they'd say on the news this morning. I should've known better - I don't know why I expected more praise for her.

It seems that Morning Joe can't just accept that he lost because it doesn't fit their narrative. They have to pick her apart and analyze her every comment, gesture and facial expression.

Mika even said HRC did everything right, but she came away thinking Trump did a better job reaching out to millions of Americans "who want change." She even compared it to how a woman can be very prepared and do really well in an interview, but the man who gave a subpar interview will still get the job. She basically implied that Clinton will never measure up because she's a woman. I switched channels at that point.

Okay I lied about watching football. I caught most of the debate and only some football. I figured I should live tweet it.

What a fucking disaster he is. It shown through that he did not prepare for the debate. He never answered a question and just launched into rambling, streams of consciousness covering multiple unrelated topics.

Clinton threw the first jab and from there he got progressively boorish, interrupting Clinton and the moderator, talking over them both, and refusing to stop talking when Lester told him his time was up - he had to finish his point which had nothing to do with the question (see rambling description above).

The split screen showed him scowling for 90 minutes with Clinton smiling or chuckling at Donnie.

So I'm sure polls will show he won.
