Those are the Trump supporters. Considering he's winning white people by a decent margin, that means a fair number of his supporters also thought he lost, actually.

Also he says his "nasty attack" was going to be about bill's womanizing. Somehow I don't think that's gonna work out the way he thinks

I love how he says that like he wants some kind of reward for not being as sleazy as he could have been.

And yeah, that attack would have backfired tremendously on him if he had tried it.

Yeah I don't get this. I guess "analysts" want to maintain some appearance of balance so they just award him everything up to his first truly egregious mistake but honestly nothing he said made any sense from the get-go.

It was his usual word salad but in the first 20 minutes he did land a couple of blows on trade. True or not, Trump's rhetoric about bad trade deals is one line of attack that can work against Hillary and at the beginning it looked like he was going to press that, but then she started deflecting the attacks much better while he fell apart. If you only watched the beginning of the debate I can see how you would think Trump edged it or it was roughly even. If you watch the entire thing and see him melt down in real time it's no contest.

Also just remembered another excellent Hillary moment, when Lester Holt asked her if she thinks police are inherently racially biased and she masterfully deflected it into a "to be honest Lester I think every single one of us is racially biased to some extent and that's something we need to work on as a society" answer.

Yeah, this was quite masterful since it's satisfactory to many minority voters because even getting white people to admit that racism exists is like pulling teeth, while being relatively inoffensive to white people since the implication is "minorities are racist too."

Honestly I think that might go down as the most one-sided rear end-kicking in Presidential debate history.

Yes, even moreso than Romney v. Obama 1 or Kennedy v. Nixon.

Trump self-immolated very early on and then just kept pouring gasoline on himself.

Hillary could probably base 3 or 4 different attack ads on soundbytes from this debate alone.

"small loan of $14 million" (the way he started his business)
"that's called business" (said of the housing market collapse and millions of Americans losing their homes)
"that's smart/the federal government would waste it anyways" (said of him not paying federal income tax)
"he didn't do a good job" (said of an architect Trump didn't pay, but whose blueprint he went ahead and used anyways)
"she deserved it" (said in defense of his attacks on Rosie O'Donnell) (bonus points: he was the one to bring up Rosie O'Donnell)

That's without getting into his advocating for Actual War Crimes re: stealing Iraq's oil, or his mobster "pay for your protection" stance on defending NATO allies, or his "China should have invaded (nuked?) North Korea" tangent. Or his tripling down on the birtherism stuff. Or doubling down on stop-and-frisk, and insisting it was not unconstitutional, but instead only found unconstitutional by a "very against police judge."

I get the feeling that a lot of Trump's interjections are the things he repeats in his head all the time to justify the odious things he does. He then blurted them out when called on his actions, because he's hopelessly unused to people challenging him in person and he's got a dead short between his tiny brain and his tiny mouth.

People can call it triangulation if they like, but I don't envy her having to walk a tightrope between acknowledging the actual problems of racism without scaring white too many white people.

The debt is the biggest non-starter. People don't actually care about it, they just like to use it as a way to seem serious about why we need to cut poo poo. It's too big a number to conceptualize and it doesn't actually affect anyone personally.

The only people who complain about that trade deficit are people who don't know what a trade deficit is and assume it must be analogous to a budget deficit (which they also don't understand).

Was it Joy Reid? I love her. Everyone should be watching AM Joy. She was fact checking Trump's surrogates and calling them out back when almost no one was.

I'll never forget her cackling with glee when they called Trump's pivot attempt "The softening"

Omg or when one of them tried to say Jesse Jackson supported Trump and she was like "Can we get Mr Jackson on the phone?" And she did. :allears:

No doubt it's been even harder for Obama. Any serious attempt by him to address racism risks him getting labeled an "angry black man." You would think he'd have more credibility as somebody who has actually faced racial discrimination, but he's also inherently more threatening to white people. It's pretty hosed up.

Two things worth noting:

1) Holt did a great job and this is about as agfressive as you can expect to see from a moderator. As it was he probably overextended because the debate people told him to do nothing, but instead he called out a few egregious things. Hopefully this becomes the approach going forward

2) debates are not the place for nitty gritty policy details, especially not against Trump who will use it as a springboard to call you a boring establishment out of touch shill. If you want policy, watch her smaller rallies when they're on TV or local or check out her statements and pressers
