Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Trump Will Impress Tonight

Well, that's a glass-half-full way to look at it.... haha..... but rolling with it, yes! Very true.

He's simply going to need to prepare better, be more capable of going into some depth on the basic issues. As much as he says he's the anti-politician, tonight he just seemed like a BAD politician.

But it ain't over, and you're right, there's plenty of fertile ground yet. Going both ways, actually. Hillary left a lot on the table too.

Clearly, a 1.5 hour moderated debate is NOT Trump's strength. Maybe tonight got his attention and he'll be better prepared next one.

Saw a few of the "highlights" and Trump did not look good..not terrible, but Hilary looked sharper and more polished...

Hopefully this is just the starting point and Trump will up his game for the next two debates...

She almost said "gun control" but caught Herself and said keeping the guns out of the hands of criminals. Only thing is, She thinks that we are all criminals. miles

Trump will impress tonight... Well, no, he did not.

He did very well for a 2 on 1 debate. You knew it was coming. Holtz is a putz and in the tank for Killary. Taxes, birther.......W.T,F, No questions on Benghazi, e-mails or Clinton foundation. He took the high road at the end and that was the best thing he could do.

The birther stuff pisses me off. Obama's bio stated he was Kenyan. Obama's wife said his home country was Kenya. His grandmother said he was born in Kenya, and he was very slow in producing an undisputed long form birth certificate, which the Democrat former governor of Hawaii could not locate. If that doesn't raise your antenna, you have no desire to find the truth. Kinda like being a Muslim. Muslim father, stepfather, school, the most beautiful sound in the world is the call to prayer....not something your average Lutheran would say...We're just not permitted to question the black guy because he's black. Not that that's racist...Clinton tried to hit Trump on race and gender, but had the sense to back off, when it kinda fell flat. Democrat policies have destroyed blacks. Hillary is married to a serial rapist, and attacks the women he raped. Yup. That's a great stand..

Hold on ladies; what did you expect? Trump is not a politician; not a true debater either and he has the mannerisms of a Mad Magazine character but he will learn and there are two more debates to come. Remember Hiliary has been through how many of these things? Someone mentioned fifteen or sixteen of these mono e mono things.

As to moderator sympathies--they are all part of the "club"; mostly all liberal leftists and if actually conservative or libertarian would have to be covertly or they wouldn't even have their job. Nothing new here or there.

Just hope enough of the undecideds can be honest enough with themselves to vote against policy failure, deceit, illegal activity, lying, and the destructive trajectory of this country.

Why does a moderator have to be a "journalist "?

As much as I hate to say it, Trump looked like a buffoon last night. I'm still voting for him but jeez...

Good points. Trump did fine. He will do better at the next debate.

Funny to see the anybody but Trump crowd come out of the woodwork to rail against him again .

""Cruz would have buried her ass -I know he would have if only he had the chance "" laf ...

clinton looked like and idiot throwing her smarmy smirk in every chance she got .
She is the perfect leader for the democrat party !

I will continue to point out the truth to the young folks who aren't politic savvy -I have explained to several people how this election is so important and will continue to do so .

Piss on these "debates" rigged up by the rigged up media .

can't find one poll thats he's not ahead in this morning.

What Cruz may have done is irrelevant because he could not get elected....which is what many of us said months ago.

So who cares how he would have debated?

Nobody expected clear "winners" and losers" in this. Clinton is a skilled and accomplished liar,so in micro sound bites and a heavily scripted debate format she is going to look "good" to stupid people.

And scare the schit out of all the "chicken little crowd"

Trump is brighter than most give him credit for and I'm thinking-hoping perhaps-there is a plan. Much like a sly boxer, set her up for the knockout.

He sure left plenty of doors open to step through.

I believe that if I were him this would be the first thing I said[or would say next debate].

"I'm not a politician and I do not do this for a living. I don't know that I have all of the answers, but I do know that what HRC and the others have been doing isn't working and actually landed us in the mess we are in. If elected, I'll give everything I have to straighten it out"

My error.

I didn't think this thread was a Lock Pick...

Were you impressed, Bob?

From what I saw, this was the big league, and he had a target rich environment that could have awarded him the election, if played right.

While Trump made some very good, valid points, he didn't follow through on his swing and drive them home.

Hillary laughed him off.

Cross eyed bitch.

I wish it were otherwise, but sadly it isn't.

Sure hope he works on his game next time.

Did I hope Trump would do better?? Sure. Honestly, this was kinda like the first Rocky movie. He was getting hit by Apollo, AND the ref was crooked, to boot (look at Holt's numbers on Drudge this am). The important thing is, Trump is still standing, and no bones were broken. There was no "knockout".

They hit him about as hard as they could. Trump still has PLENTY of stuff to hit Hillary with in debate 2 and 3.

I'm not blind. Trump didn't "win", but he took everything Holt and Hillary threw at him, and survived. Ailes can phone him up, give him a few zingers, and he should look better in 2 and 3. Not a win, but not a "defeat", either. He's lived to fight another day...

Journalists were once thought to be impartial by the public. Lieberals still believe they are. Fancy that.

I know you will not allow yourself to see this, but it was not the moderators fault.
