as a brit, I managed to stay up for this one. my comments are relatively unbiased, im not for either party, but I do indeed have my own inherit sways.

I think this will go down as win for trump, but not so much a loss for hilary. more so that trump seemed more prepared and came in with such a negative news story that he ultimately deflected that away without taking much flack tonight.

In many regards this was more normal debates, albeit with the trump personal attacks, but the debate went as you would pretty much expect. both folk doing and saying what you expect, no killer blows, no major big deals or catch ups.

trump attacked on the emails which his fanbase will love, attacked on B clinton which the fanbase will love. Hilary talked about her history, her achievements and deflected a lot of the nonsensical stuff about her not doing much.

ultimately both acted as you might expect, if you liked either before, you saw nothing to change that. I really dont know how much difference debates make when they ultimately just rehash more of the same. was actually a nice end to get them to talk something positive.

so overall a win for trump under his circumstances, but not at the cost of hilary who was same as always.
