There were two distinct debating styles on display last night on Sept 26, 2016.

How do you describe what in on?

  I think that Trump disassembled after the beginning. The birther thing, his comments about paying taxes and his all his business acumen in planning to profit from the 2008 meltdown. What gets me is that all of his fans say to be tougher next time, bringing in to focus Bill Clinton's infidelities as if that is really relevant in this debate.
  
  I am sure that theRight will find something to say to resurrect the dead and to give life to their fallen hero. However, the formula he is using is only good before rightwing GOP audiences, it will never do for the general electorate. He looked and acted tawdry, petty and generally unprepared for the pasting that he received.

  Clearly, by the end of the night, Clinton won. Simply put, she prepared while Chump thought he could wing it. Too bad nobody in the audience started chanting "UNPREPARED! UNPREPARED!"
  She stayed firm while He unraveled. Of course, he's spinning it as a win for his base, but he knows it.
  I see the conspiracy goons that he attracts are doing their own spin. Denial runs deep with these colorful folks.

  What did I tell you, excuses, excuses, excuses? Trump blames the microphone and the moderator for his pis* poor performance. The man a lily livered wimp, and a poor excuse for human being. 'His Expediency' is not my idea of presidential material. The Right is putting nails in its coffin by reminding everyone that they are not to be taken seriously. And we progressives will show them the cemetery on November 8th. Then they will need another plan.

  The criteria for determining who won this debate is obviously controversial. My initial impression was that Trump was rather obnoxious and Hillary had an attitude. Trump didn't really have much tact but Hillary's answers were way too rehearsed. I could follow Hillary better but her condescension was distracting. The debate questions seemed kind of biased, not sure if it was just me or not.
  
  I hate both candidates so it was amusing at best. I left feeling like I had just watched an extended campaign ad of bs.

  Clinton Foundation - legit topic
  
  Clinton Iraq War Vote - fair game
  
  Hillary's Crimes - He can't ask about something that doesn't exist. Maybe he should ask if she stopped beating her mother as well
  
  Hillary's Health and Donald's narcissism are legitimate questions.

  Lester Holt is a republican? And what do you think the NEVER TRUMPERS are...REPUBLICANS As usual your reasoning is absurd. He is in the liberal media who would eviscerate him if he didn't shill for Hillary just like they did Jimmy Fallon and Matt Lauer for being fair to Trump.
  
  Hillary's Jester, Lester Holt was the only real winner in this debate.
  Lester Holt had his “Candy Crowley” moment on Monday night, bowing to pressure from the Hillary Clinton campaign and the liberal media by “fact-checking” Republican nominee Donald Trump on the question of his support for the Iraq War.
  Holt lived down to the worst expectations of conservatives, who routinely see Republican candidates treated unfairly by debate moderators.
  Again and again, Holt asked Trump tough questions that were straight from the Clinton campaign’s talking points, and which were obvious set-ups for Clinton to attack (and for fact-checkers to pounce on whatever Trump asserted in his own defense).
  Here are the five worst examples, only the worst.
  (1) Tax returns. Holt never asked Clinton about her e-mail scandal, about Benghazi, or about the Clinton Foundation and its dubious dealings. But he did ask Trump about his tax returns, arguing — not asking — that there might be questionable information in them that the American public deserved to hear.
  (2) Birther conspiracy theory. Holt never asked Clinton about her past record of racist statements, including her “super-predator” remarks as First Lady, or her explicit appeal to “white Americans” in her 2008 primary campaign against Obama. Yet he asked Trump about the Birther conspiracy theory and cast it as racist.
  (3) Stop-and-frisk. After an exchange between the candidates over the policy of “stop-and-frisk,” Holt interjected to bolster Clinton’s point by stating, erroneously, that stop-and-frisk had ended in New York because it had been declared unconstitutional by a court. Trump countered, correctly, that the new mayor had canceled the policy before the litigation was over.
  (4) “A presidential look.” Towards the end of the debate, Holt asked Trump about what he meant by saying Hillary Clinton did not have “a presidential look.” He did so after noting that Clinton had become “the first woman” to be nominated for president by a major political party, thus setting Trump up as a sexist. As Trump answered, Holt interrupted him, then gave Clinton a chance to respond with her talking points about Trump’s past comments on women.
  (5) Iraq War. The question of whether Trump supported the Iraq War or not has been widely debated. What is beyond doubt is that Hillary Clinton voted for it. Holt only represented one side of the debate about Trump, and never asked Clinton about her own vote.
  In addition, the audience repeatedly interjected— almost always in Clinton’s favor — and Holt did not stop them, though it was against the rules. He only stopped the audience when there were cheers for Trump calling for Clinton’s emails.
  Bow again, Jester Holt. You did your job, "Queen Clinton" is proud to have such a jester in her court of liberals.

  You got it, guilty as charged. I don't mind that you read and watch known and proven left leaning media but when that is all you read or watch you are definitely brainwashed. Without looking at the "other" factual sides of things like this https://thehornnews.com/exposed-proof-debate-bias/ you will never be able to think for yourself, you are brainwashed and it is obvious in everything you say. All sources can be credible, but when you only buy into one you are removing the ability to even discern what is credible and what is not. I tune in to all the sources you mentioned (both sides) and that is how I know what facts are facts and what is spin, you have no idea and frankly you don't care to know the facts, that is obvious.

Personally, I thought Clinton got absolutely slammed on job creation. Raising taxes to encourage offshore "housing" of capital while importing millions upon millions of solar cells (we don't have the manufacturing capacity for 1% or what she wants and no one will invest in manufacturing plants when taxes are so high and imports so cheap) isn't going to produce many jobs.

Trumps plan, cut taxes in the hope capital will return coupled with raising the cost of imports (probably starting a dozen trade wars) might. I doubt it, but it might and it certainly stands a better chance than a plan doomed to failure before it even starts.

Who won? That will depend solely on which candidate the speaker wants in office. I didn't see a clear winner at all.

  BTW, the only tax cut that was followed by a sustained recovery was President Kennedy's. The two tax increases on the wealthy that was followed by sustained growth are the Bush-Clinton tax increase and PBO's tax increase.
  
  Also, current plant capacity is 76%.(range is 67% - 89%)
  
  Taxes can and are waved, but even so, effective corporate tax rate is 15% even though the top rate is 30+%. Effective tax rate in other countries is just shy of 15%.
  
  Imports are so cheap is the problem ... that is what did in Solyndra.

  wildernessposted 8 years agoin reply to this
  And that means that we should not cut taxes under vastly different circumstances? I don't think so. Never have the rich paid so much, or such a large percentage of the nations needs. Never have we had so much capital setting offshore because we want too much of it. Never have we seen such a loss of jobs from imports. These things are different than what they were, and increasing taxes in order to discourage capital investment isn't going to help.
  
  Yes, plant capacity is 75%, meaning that we are operating at just 75% of what we could be. But total plant capacity is half what it was 20 or 30 years ago: we've torn them down to make room for warehouses for imported goods. We are no longer a powerhouse of manufacturing, but a nation of paper shufflers.

  Ken Burgessposted 8 years agoin reply to this
  You are basically correct, there is no two party system, because politicians from both the left and right, Dem and Rep, pay homage to the same lobbyists, and funders.
  You are wrong about Trump however, he is hated by the GOP and Dem Party equally because he has been exposing the corruption in the electoral process, the corruption in Washington, the failures of our trade agreements that weaken America, cost Americans jobs and better wages, etc.
  Trump threatens to audit the Federal Reserve, tax and tariff foreign imports which very simply means that American made products could compete, it would mean that Carrier, Nabisco, Phizer, Ford, etc. would keep the jobs they are exporting to foreign lands here in America, because there would be no financial gain to move out and hire lower waged workers, only to lose those financial gains through taxes.
  The logic of it is as simple as 1+1 = 2. That is why the Dem Party can't sell the validity and benefits of TPP to anyone, so they hide it, like they hid the truth of Obamacare, because it meant higher costs and higher deductible for hard working Americans trying to scrape out an existence.
  Don't be fooled... the Establishment (both Parties) HATE Trump, they HATE what he stands for, common Americans that are fed up with their lies, their corrupt politics, and their arrogance.
  People are so fed up with Washington and the crap they keep forcing down our throats, that they are choosing a loud mouthed Billionaire over the Establishment's chosen front-woman.
  Even the 'historic' achievement of a first woman ever as President isn't enough to sway the majority of Americans over into swallowing their BS anymore... and that is what the Establishment hated most about Trump's successes (in spite of himself and all their efforts)... they know it is the people trying to fight back against them.

There were apparently some games being played - not surprising with Clinton on the stage.

Clinton aides on Tuesday acknowledged they'd laid a trap for Trump.
"He seemed unable to handle that big stage," said Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. "By the end, with kind of snorting and the water gulping and leaning on the lectern that he just seemed really out of gas."

So they arrange for a short lectern and a mike that Trump has to bend over to be heard, then make a big deal out of "leaning" on the lectern. Considering what was done to Bernie, I guess Trump should consider himself lucky. American politics is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

  I didn't catch this myself, but Jon Rappoport did. The whole debate started out with Holt lying.
  
  WINNER OF LAST NIGHT’S DEBATE WAS LESTER HOLT
  
  "Holt framed the debate by stating that the US economy, particularly employment, has recovered well since the 2007-8 meltdown. Of course, he lied. When you factor in how many people now have low-paying jobs who formerly had good jobs; and when you also consider that people who give up trying to find jobs are eventually no longer listed as unemployed, you get the true picture: the US economy hasn’t recovered. Not by a long shot.
  
  Understandably, Trump was focused, at the moment when Holt lied, on Hillary and the audience in the hall. He was blindsided. From the get-go, he should have pinned Holt and denied Holt’s “facts.” He should have exposed Holt as an errant “fact-checker” and put him back on his heels. That could have changed the whole tone of the evening. Holt’s stone-faced “objective” calm would have been broken. He would have been under the gun." ...

  But he did put the lie to it: he said that this was the slowest recovery since the depression and he was right. The stock market is still down and, as you say, good jobs are not out there. Unemployment is OK (though OK is all) but those jobs aren't paying anything.
  
  And they won't pay anything until we get our manufacturing base back and running. It isn't the lawn mowing services or the do-it-all handyman that is paying - it's the manufacturing jobs we've sent overseas.

Recovery from most of the similar sized events PRIOR to 1929 were as long or longer.

  Correct, and the Obama Administration had the Bureau of Labor Statistics change how those numbers were counted, more than once in the last eight years.
  The more important numbers to consider are:
  Working Age Americans (capable of working) who are unemployed - The number of Americans not in the labor force totaled 94708000 in May, 664000 more than in April ... By Susan Jones | June 3, 2016.
  Throw in a few million immigrants not being counted into that statistic and we have a whopping 100 million capable people out of work... roughly more than a third of our workforce has no legal means of productivity.
  There is also a huge negative impact that the consistent exporting of jobs combined with the ever popular (for companies) H1-B visa program is having. October 1, 2016 ... The Harsh Reality of Being an Unemployed College Graduate. More than two million college graduates are now unemployed and millions more are underemployed.
  The Policies put forward by Washington lawmakers for the past quarter century have done little to help workers, improve wages, or make good jobs available. They are great for businesses wanting to export to countries that provide cheap labor and taxes, they are great for foreign nations hoping for our demise, but they are terrible for American workers and America's future.

  It never would have occurred to me...until the quote from the DNC. Lecterns are what they are, and so are microphone stands.
  
  But I did hear some comments about the size of the lectern - that Clinton didn't want hers to be shorter than his - before the election. Wrote it off as nonsense, until I watched as Trump had to bend way over to use that mic. Still wrote it off as nonsense, recognizing that unless Clinton stood on a box she was going to be shorter and required a shorter lectern. No big thing.
  
  Until the comment, which I do think was made. It is just the sort of thing I've come to expect from politics today - the appearance is far more important than the substance is and games WILL be played.

FOX NEWS HALFTIME REPORT

Hillary wins round one but Trump is far from done

By Chris Stirewalt Published September 27, 2016 FoxNews.com

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – Hillary Clinton can be happy today that she got the better of Donald Trump in the first of three presidential debates. But she ought to be a little concerned too.

Clinton successfully exploited Trump’s ego to keep the Republican nominee off balance and on defense throughout the evening.

Most notably, rather than shredding Clinton over her mishandling of state secrets on a personal email server, Trump passed up the chance in favor of defending his business record and decision to withhold his tax returns.

Post-debate Trump fights media narrative as he tries digging out of a hole

By Howard Kurtz Published September 28, 2016 FoxNews.com

As Donald Trump tries to bounce back from a disappointing night, he has to battle an emerging media narrative that what happened at Hofstra was a turning point.

But Trump and his campaign missed a huge opportunity against Hillary Clinton, who would have outpointed him even if she hadn’t benefited from one-sided questioning by Lester Holt.

  "However, others, including U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, suggest that there is an estimated $60 to $90 billion in fraud in Medicare and a similar amount for Medicaid."
  
  That makes just medicaid and medicare fraud (at 60B each) to be .7% of our 18 T GDP, or 700 X .001%. Worse, and far more importantly, the fraud in just those two programs is 3% of the national budget.

  Yes, those are outdated numbers. They are outdated because changes brought on by ACA has cut substantially into at least Medicare fraud; I don't k now about Medicaid.
  
  BTW, I found $60B for Medicare alone and $60B for Medicare and Medicaid combined.
  
  Other stats I found is that roughly 10% of Medicare/Medicaid budgets go to fraud while the same is true for private insurers (although I suspect the real number for private insurers is less because they can afford better software to catch fraud.
  
  Also, one of the biggest money wasters in Medicare/Medicaid is the GOP's refusal to let those programs get drugs on a competitive basis ... that from a Party that supposedly believes in the free-market ... NOT.

  Agreed, the rich (most of them anyway) work for their money but laborers (all) work for theirs just as hard, if not harder! They DO NOT work for the freebies, like political access, that they get solely because they have money and ONLY because they have money. And yes, they also get welfare-like benefits such as tax shelters, tax breaks, higher interest rates for their money, and the like. While political and old-boys network access is a soft benefit (it requires no work to achieve, just lots of money) they often turn into hard money, sometimes more in one day that harder-working Americans earn in a lifetime. Another benefit of having money, employed often today, is the ability to write their own rules, often to the detriment of the poorer Americans.

  Let's assume for the moment, that workers were paid fairly for the value of their work in 1960. In that same period, CEOs earned somewhere between 20 and 50 times as much as those who worked for them. Let us further assume that is a fair ratio (which I personally think it is).
  
  Then what changed that allows CEOs to earn, on average, 300 times more than those who work for them today??? The way I look at things, the difference between the 50 and 300 times is all UNEARNED money, basically what they can skim off the top due SOLELY to their power and wealth.

  Not true, Ahorseback. The period between WW II and 1981 was an historical anomaly where wealth and income were reasonably distributed. Prior to that, without exception, the rich, the aristocrats, the major landowners, the Robber Barons and those that worked high in the organizations had the great lion's share of the wealth and income. We are talking 90% if the wealth and 1/2 the population shared only 20% of the income.
  
  Think of it. in 1900 if there were a 100 people in America who, between them, earned $100 then 1) 10 people would get $4.50 each, 2) 40 people would get 87.5 cents each, and 3) 50 people would get paid 40 cents each, or just 9% of the top rung! That is what income distribution looked like, or worse, throughout much of history
  
  In 1960, when things were the most properly distributed in history (meaning you had a vibrant middle class) those numbers shift dramatically where 1) the top 10% got $2.50 each, 2) the next 40% got $1.125 each, and 3) the bottom 50% got 60 cents or 24% of the top pay.
  
  In 2010 (it is worse today), the bottom 50% earn only 13% as much as the top 10% and it is still deteriorating.
  
  So yes, you are right, redistribution IS HAPPENING, from the worker TO the rich. In another 50 years, if things keep going the way they are, we will be back to the 1790s where gross income inequality helped precipitate the French Revolution.

So he had to say he is right more times than me, a clear sign he has to boost his self esteem. If that isn't insecure and condescending I don't know what is! Any normal person would have said thank you for confirming i was right and thanks for the snopes link.
  
  So I replied he doesn't know how to count (not condescending but a fact because I have always been right more often than him). Because of his low self esteem once again he takes that statement as an assault on his self esteem and resorts to calling me an idiot (a known sign of someone who as low self esteem). Then I compassionately try to help him with his obvious self esteem problem by encouraging him to just be himself. I even told him he is wonderful but instead of taking advice he claims I drew first blood? Another obvious sign he has low self esteem as he is intimidated by innocuous statements and ever since all he has tried to do is defend his self esteem, something that a person without low self esteem would never do, especially to me someone he thinks is an idiot.

  I love how you are always telling us how Democrats think. I hope people will go by what progressives (who are not necessarily all Democrats) actually post here rather than ahorseback's warped characterization.

  Not warped really , just very real . I mean if I had to get into the mind of a quasi- liberal today ; I'd have to go with shallow , selfish , entitled , even pre-programmed towards lazy and greedy. But hey everyone's entitled to believe what it is that they see in the nature of "others ", I mean right , don't liberals promote self expression and activism , or is that just FOR liberals?
  
  That's it isn't it ? Only liberals are entitled to self expression.

  Yes, "Liberal = Bad". Too bad for that argument is that it was liberalism and progressivism that brought us out of the stone-age of conservationism.
  
  * It was conservatives from both Parties which pushed for and won a compromise on slavery in the Constitution which kept slaves enslaved
  
  * It was Southern Baptists and conservatives from both Parties that fought tooth and nail to keep slavery alive
  
  * It was conservatives in both Parties that led us into Civil War
  
  * It was conservatives in both Parties, via the Supreme Court that eviscerated the laws enacted to enforce the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments from 1884 to 1929
  
  * It was conservatives in both Parties which tried to keep women from voting.
  
  * It was conservatives in both Parties that allowed and supported the oppression of blacks and other minorities in the 1940s - 1960s
  
  * It was conservatives in both Parties that opposed, sometimes violently, the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts of the 1960s
  
  * It is conservatives in both Parties that have been trying ever since those two Acts to roll them back
  
  * It is the conservatives in the Rehnquist and Roberts' Supreme Court that actually has rolled back civil and voting rights in America.
  
  * There are no more conservatives left in the Democratic Party, they all got beaten or switched to the conservative GOP.
  
  * It is a self-describe conservative and spokesman for conservatism today that is issuing xenophobic, Islamophobic, racist, and misogynistic hatred in an effort to become President of the United States.
  
  What is so sad is there is not ONE hyperbolic statement in list. What is sadder still is that list describes at least 20% of Americans to a "T".

  As I was saying.....he has nothing of real importance to add to any conversation. He can't think for himself, so he labels anyone with a valid point as being part of a group (he thinks other will despise) and tries to run them down. I say" try to" because he only makes himself look ignorant.
  In many respects, I'm not surprised he's touting Trump the victor, despite the facts. The two are whiny and are thin-skinned (BTW Trump's two-three hour rant on twitter in the wee hour of the morning looks real presidential), and are clueless.

  You actually believe that Bs? Beside, your candidate wrote an editoral to call for the death penalty for 5 teens accused of rape. They would later be found innocent. New York media at the time loved the chump to stitches. It's not until he proved he was insane did they reavaluate the love for him. So I'll give the face palm for quoting a meme bat s*** schilling and for the so-called kill list that has been debunked many times over.

In other words, They Do It Themselves; they don't NEED to give to other charities.
