The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which half of the questions will be posed directly by citizen participants and the other half will be posed by the moderator based on topics of broad public interest as reflected in social media and other sources. The candidates will have two minutes to respond and there will be an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate further discussion. The town meeting participants will be uncommitted voters selected by the Gallup Organization.
Everyone complains that the candidates avoid discussing the issues and engage in gutter politics, yet the debate moderators in the first half of the debate focused solely on both candidate's scandals.
I was watching the clock, wondering if they were EVER going to discuss the real problems facing America. What a circus. Good for ratings, I'm sure, but what did we learn?
I did not watch the whole thing. I watch the last 1/3 or so and it looked as if Trump was beating her. In that his counter punching style was scoring points.
But I still think most people have decide who they wanted already.
I know one thing Ted is pissed because it could have been Him beating up Clinton like a rag doll!
Im still surprised the race is still this close. You have an asshat vs an asshat who is the most corrupted candidate ever to run for office! Where is the real decision here?
"I watch the last 1/3 or so and it looked as if Trump was beating her."
Beat on her like a rented mule.
Trump started off composed and reserved. But for the first 30-45 minutes the moderators were focused on the scandals affecting both candidates. I was wondering if they were ever going to discuss the issues.
If you didn't know it before this debate you know it now -- Trump is no politician. He speaks his mind and he doesn't mince words.
That may make some people uncomfortable, but it doesn't mean he can't be a great President.
