Hillary looked like she was *forbidden topic*. She was swaying and had that goofy, arrogant grin the whole time. She repeated mainly memorized talking points with no substance. She was not fully present. That being said, Trump had several opportunities to deliver knockout blows, but he didn't. Trump was disappointing, but he was much more on top of real world problems than Hillary, but he could have done much better.

There were definitely a number of situations that Trump did not take advantage of, e.g., when she started on his misogyny, he could have easily put her on the defensive instead himself being defensive (I am hopeful he is fast learner for next debate, and hoping he doesn't agree with Guiliani and chooses not to do debates). When she attacked him his taxes, instead of being defensive, he should have shot right back about her and Bill running around the country on their charity money or how is Chelea living in a 10 million apartment. He needs to get off the defensive and put himself on the offensive.
It also appeared to me, that HRC, was like the student getting ready for their exam, they memorize everything, what do they remember a week a month a year after exam?, very little.
Still got faith in Mr Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
