Hillary Clinton can’t win the debate: She showed grace and intelligence, but he won because he didn’t grab anyone’s junk
The debate showed that Clinton is eminently qualified and Trump is a clown. Why is anyone confused about this?

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton held it together during Sunday night’s debate, speaking intelligently and passionately about policy, despite having to endure her rival Donald Trump and his team trying to deflect his on-tape admission of sexual assault by throwing two decades of right-wing conspiracy theories about her husband at her for two days.
Trump, on the other hand, made it through a 90-minute debate without grabbing anyone’s pussy, though he stood menacingly close enough to Clinton that there were some concerns. Sadly, this plus his ability to get a little closer to former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin levels of coherence — though still falling short of the mark — was enough to score Trump rave reviews from some corners and even some claims that he won the debate.
But make no mistake: By any reasonable measure, Trump lost that debate. In many ways, his performance was worse than the first time around. Trump repeatedly exposed that he knows less about good governance than a 5-year-old who has watched some “Schoolhouse Rock” videos.
Take, for instance, this bit of babble from Trump:
One of the greatest provisions for people like me, I give up a lot when I run because I knock out the tax code. She could have done this years ago. She’s a United States senator. She complains that Donald Trump took advantage of the tax code. Well, why didn’t she change it? Why didn’t you change it when you were a senator? The reason you didn’t is all your friends take the same advantage that I do.
Well, no. The reason she didn’t do it is literally because, as a senator from New York, she didn’t have the power to do it. Which led to Clinton having to explain how our Constitution works to Trump because he doesn’t understand it.
