    If "debate" you mean being instructed when his time was up, being told not to interrupt, and being reminded to answer questions, then yes, he had to "debate" two people.

    Republicans did it to themselves. They know trump hasn't got a chance in hell of winning this election. Marco Rubio would have stood a chance at winning.

    LOL, too bad the debate wasn't ten minutes long. Hopefully Trump will be able to get the next debate to be only ten minutes... must be about all he can handle.

    Looks like someone caught a live look at Hillary behind the scenes out of control per Trump.

    No question, just about anyone other than Trump likely wins easily but the Republicans went with their "bottom of the barrel" candidate to go up against the Democrats "bottom of the barrel" candidate. It's absolutely rock bottom for America right now.

    Not when Iran having nuclear weapons was described as completely unacceptable.

    And it doesn't have to start from scratch, at all. It just put a supposed cap on expanding it. Plenty of centrifuges still there.

    But the issue of the sanctions is fair. The probably got the best deal they could under the circumstances. It's just win they spin it as some great thing that totally solved the Iran nuclear problem that I point out that that's not really true.

    abstaining because i won't be complicit this election. from a personal vote perspective, i've focused a bit more in my county and will continue to do so until candidates change at a national level.

    too soon...way too soon...

    Many people thought Trump bombed the primary debates...but found a way to get people to vote for him. Who knows...we really have two terrible candidates...

    Personally, I never got why that became such a big deal. Dean's job was to act enthusiastic and rally the troops, and that's what he was doing. Maybe over the top, but I don't get why it became a career killer. And that's from someone normally opposed to his party.

    I wanted Hillary to win, but I think Trump was better,less fake, as genuine as possible in his limitations ,he seems to think out of the box on economical/political issues, his local politics remains a major concern though

    What are you tripping on? Im not exactly rooting for Trump to win, but the latest polls show its nearly dead even, trending Trump.

    I'm not going to support her. She's dishonest, and even the stuff she says I wished were true, I can't believe. That being said she's miles and miles above Trump.

    But I'm just judging from her performance tonight at the debate. Warren delivered a solid unrelenting knockout on Wells Fargo. Hillary clearly won, but it wasn't as definitive as the Warren grilling.

    When Trump supporters say "maybe by getting beaten he actually won" you know it was a bad night for Trump.

    Someone I know is a campaign manager for a few major campaigns in California (all conservative). Here's his analysis of the debate:

    "she doesn't need to do anything but stay calm, not cough, and let him light himself on fire. mission accomplished."

    It's really hard to think of anyone worse. Hell if her running mate was the nominee I'd probably vote for him. Hillary is getting super lucky that the Republicans ran one of the few people in the world more hated than her.

    What a weak response to some decent points. Getting lazy. And isn't "pwned" a video game thing or something? Grow up egghead.

    Expect that to change in a hurry if Trump was as bad as some are suggesting.
