I agree it was diversionary but, even when he successfully pivots to his talking point, he cant articulate himself and his oratory skills are so lacking that it seems like he's going off onto random subjects. During the Primaries when there were over a dozen candidates on the stage his zinger approach to debating worked brilliantly but now that he has to explain himself, for me, he would struggle against anybody.

Trump has led the media a merry dance for almost a year and it seems only now are they getting wise to it. He's banned publications from his rallies, criticized journalists on twitter and blatantly lied during interviews. The media are a little pissed off with him; you just need to watch CNN or MSNBC to see the hit pieces they're running on him pretty much all day. I doubt Trump, at this stage, could find a moderator that would give him what his supporters consider 'fair' treatment and I frankly think he only has himself to blame. He's lied too often and there are now few jouno's who are prepared to let hm get away with it anymore. Chris Wallace wlll be the next debate moderator and he has already stated he will not fact check so maybe his supporters will consider him a fairer moderator.

This is 100% true, its a disgrace. Even when asked about his muslim questioon
1) He said temporary shutdown, they took out the word temporary....Then he started answering , within 2 seconds the lady interrupted him, he gave a very straightforward answer, extreme vetting, sounds 100% plausible to me.

They ignored yet again the FACT she voted for the illegal Iraq war, where over 1 million innocents died, which basically created the vacuum and worse still, she then dropped off billlions of dollars of weapons which then fell into the hands of terrorists, thus ISIS was formed. She also allowed them to keep the oil, which funded ISIS to spread to 32 countries and 35,000 people killed worldwide last year? All this happened on he watch and many of the 33,000 emails related to the weapons she herself had supplied the so called rebels in the middle east.

Heres just some proof

I'm not gonna defend HRC my thoughts on her have been made clear in this election but the facts state other wise.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/1...d-trump-229527

13 lies from Trump in last night debate two from HRC. Cant find the page for the first debate but as I recall that had the lie count at over 30 to Trump and about 4 to HRC. She lies too and I will never defend her but his lies are ridiculous. No journo who takes them selves seriously should allow hm to get away with it but that is only my personal opinion.

if the debates had been targetted at Hilary the way they were at Trump, the figures may have been more even.

That's possibly true. I do see some bias in the questioning but, particularly in the first debate, Trump had many chances to pivot to a talking point but instead walked right into the many traps HRC set for him.

Here's an interesting video demonstrating the power of 'anti-establishment' movements like Trump's in communities that have been left behind:

Donald Trump was more popular in McDowell County than anywhere else in America during the Republican primaries. Paul Lewis explores the power of the Republican presidential nominee’s message in the poorest county of West Virginia

I barely see any posts here about policy. Can someone please name me any policies during the debate of Trump's that are superior to what Clinton was proposing? Not trying to bait, just trying to view things from a different perspective and hear anything other than Hillary's emails (let's not forget Trump has over 3,500 lawsuits against him - the man is not innocent either)
