Be glad it happened. If you like Trump, then you should like him having a chance to actually put forth his strategy. | ||

It's possible that it's deserved (I certainly don't think much of Trump), but I was under the impression they were supposed to be impartial. They're suppose to be neutral, but that means they hold them up to the same standard. Clinton has been addressing the questions before going off on tangents, whereas Trump has been nothing but tangents. I still don't know his strategy on Syria. | ||

You can be impartial and still not like the guy and how he ignores your requests to stop talking or to stop going over the time or how he never answers the question you actually ask. | ||

And people wonder why the moderators have to step in. Trump is doing damage to the public by confusing them about when cities are in which countries. | ||

There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at zero percent interest by law. Having a home considered a human right in Libya. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25 percent of Libyans were literate. Today, the figure is 83 percent. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kickstart their farms are all for free. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need, the government funds them to go abroad, for it is not only paid for, but they get a U.S.$2,300/month for accommodation and car allowance. If a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidizes 50 percent of the price. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amounting to $150 billion are now frozen globally. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession, as if he or she is employed, until employment is found. A portion of every Libyan oil sale is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens. A mother who gives birth to a child receive U.S.$5,000. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $0.15. 25 percent of Libyans have a university degree. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Manmade River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country. And now.. a 3rd world hell hole that Isis has greatly grown in. I don't get it, how can any of you after looking at what happened in Iraq/Libya and even support any attempt to over throw the governing body and leave a void? | ||

I think that's the job of a moderator to force it back when it's derailed. Uh no, that's another issue entirely. The moderator started replying to trump's answer as though she was one of the debaters. | ||
