To catch you up, here's the highlights of Trump's remarks. Won't take up too much of your time...just 1 minute 24 sec.

(Factcheck: they cheated because they didn't have enough highlights. It loops.)


And here's the moment that shocked Hillary critics! (even shorter)

Now here's an excellent unbiased analysis of the debate.

The first one I've seen in the media so far.

Of course I don't expect any of the Hillary Humpers to read it, let alone understand it.

He won the debate. I know it runs counter to conventional wisdom – that’s so rare for me! – but I award the first 2016 presidential debate to Donald Trump.

This isn’t to say that I disagree with what the mainstream men and women of the pundit class said they witnessed. Like them, I watched a well-prepared Clinton outmaneuver a political amateur who showed up to class after a night of partying following a year of refusing to crack open a book. Trump rambled, repeated himself, interrupted and bullied. He conflated NATO and the EU. He even unleashed a fat joke.

All things being equal, I would agree with the corporate media consensus that Hillary won. But that’s the thing – things are far from equal.

Hillary Clinton is a pro. She should have wiped the floor with Trump. Instead, she delivered a performance on the line between a B+ and an A-. Trump gets closer to a C-. That’s much closer than it ought to have been.

As they say in sports, Trump beat the spread.

So, he won by just showing up and not shitting himself and passing out.
She should have done better, he could have done worse?
Looks like two different standards of expectation to me, and this does not make this ridiculous manchild any less repugnant, it compounds the impression.

I was thinking the same.
As for the article being unbiased.... Only in the world of Trump where facts don't exist and lies are acceptable.

So, Trump won by with a C- to Hillary's A- Only in Alabama does that make a shred of sense.

The Trump fans don't care about anything truthful if you haven't noticed.

If Trumpists want his lies to be truths, they will believe them.

If you introduce everything you have to say with an insult to anyone who might differ from you, it is obvious that you don't want anyone to give any credit to your rants. Why do you bother?
