My take on the first Presidential debate of 2016?


Well, perhaps unsurprisingly, I thought Hillary 'won' it.  She was presidential, if a bit wonky in her answers. I don't think she was very good in the first, say quarter or third of the debate, but hit her stride after that.  She was prepared, solid, and knew her stuff.  Her answer, speaking directly to the camera to our allies about America's honoring our commitments, was a knockout blow on him.  

Trump started out not too bad, but as it went on, he became rude, petulant, and overbearing.  He had no answers, although he was quite good at pointing out what problems are, but he offered no solutions...not that he ever has.  His facial expressions, his verbal interruptions, his flailing body language....well if nothing else, they did not look presidential.


We're gonna have to wait a few days for the polling to come in to see what the voters thought.  So sum up mine, I dont think she 'hit it out of the park', but she looked presidential while he.....well, he clearly didn't.

I'll just end with this graphic I saw this evening:


If nothing else, it shows how rude he was throughout the entire debate.
