Time, CBS New York, Slate, Fox 5, WCPO Cinicinnati, ABC News Nashville, polls had Trump winning the debate - CNN showed Clinton winning - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... slide.html
LESTER HOLT: THE THIRD DEBATER...
Asked Trump 6 follow-up questions, did not ask ANY of Clinton...
Interrupted Trump 41 times, Clinton 7.
http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/27/holt- ... in-debate/
the "fact checking" became opinion journalism - http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... -opinion-/ (eight examples where the media claimed to "fact check" when in fact they just came up with a different view on debatable points or ignored the point of a statement).
Add to that the total and complete HORSESHIT from the moderator last night about "stop and frisk" - and the media has eaten it up whole cloth, claiming Trump was wrong about the constitutionality of stop and frisk. He wasn't what he said about it was absolutely correct, and the media has it wrong.
A district judge (trial court) did indeed find that stop and frisk as NYC was doing it was unconstitutional and had to be modified. HOWEVER, that decision was "stayed" by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which means that it was held in abeyance, and was not an effective opinion. The trial judge was removed from the case by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals found that the trial judge committed ethical violations in her conduct of the case and was biased against the police/city (exactly what Trump said). The appeal was never completed, however, because the new mayor, Bill DeBlasio, just settled with the Plaintiffs and discontinued the stop and frisk practice. The stay of the district court's order was never lifted and the case was never decided. New York City's stop and frisk policy was NEVER found unconstitutional by a binding court decision -- even if the disctrict judge's decision was not "stayed", it would ONLY be binding in her court. It wouldn't even be binding on other judges in her district. It's just one district judge's ruling, and other district judges might rule the exact opposite in the same circumstances. But, that doesn't stop the media from declaring Trump to be wrong.

I believe Trump looked unprepared, scattered and was not articulate. He missed golden opportunities for zingers and to skewer Hillary Clinton on various issues. Facial expressions and huffs and puffs were amateurish.
I give Hillary maybe a B- on her performance - not stellar, but solid, workable, passable - good, knowledgeable - but, no Reagan or Kennedy. Trump I give a C, up from a C- just allowing for his inexperience. If he does the same shit in debate number 2, he'll drop at least to a C- or even a D+.

Like I said before, I doubt it'll make any difference to those already supporting Trump.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.

General Election: Trump vs. Clinton NBC News/SM Clinton 51, Trump 44 Clinton +7
The LA times calls the same people who have all voted the same party since Reagan, so that poll, Trump +4, can be ignored.

fivethirtyeight.com has the gap considerably narrowed http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/201 ... rpromo#now
It's nearly a dead heat with Clinton at 53% chance of winning, and Trump at 47% chance, if election held today.

Re: Election 2016 Thread
Actually, I did hear one plausible possible explanation straight after the debate. That was, that a lot of people wouldn't have sat through the whole 90 minutes. The thinking was that a lot of people would have tuned in for only 15 minutes or the like, and the Donald was much stronger early on and Clinton was a bit slow to start. It wasn't until the second half of the debate that the wheels really started falling off for Trump.
