I think she had better answers when it came to policy and just straight up substance when it comes to ruling the country, but I really disliked her constant fixation on Russia on several topics. I think she brought it up like 3 or 4 times throughout the debate. Trump was just doing Trump things. So she kinda did well and then did awful at the same time, which makes it a tie for me. I'm not sure I see how those equate. The way you put it makes it sound a little like you're holding them to wildly different standards ("Trump things," and all that that entails, are equivalent to bringing up Russia a lot?). | ||

The faith in the FBI is at an all time low, that plus Bill and the AG speaking before fbi recommendations just makes it look that much worse. It really is a shame, that the average american won't get anywhere near that level of cooperation. Trump nailed it with that line of attack. | ||

You're right, I probably am, as someone who's really just watching as a spectator and who's sorta used to watching Trump ramble on. I guess I got a bit more stirred up by Hillary constantly bringing up Russia as the enemy (I'm originally from the Baltic States, so I'm more sensible to this), which I find extremely scary. If I do take into account the "Trump things", I guess I should give Hillary the advantage, but really not by much, so I'll maintain the tie. | ||

Probably a tie because there's no expectations for Trump but not enough to change anything about his terrible momentum. But is it a matter of him not imploding, or that he's already imploding so this debate was largely more of the same? Though it probably helps the debate questions where he would implode were asked at the beginning of the debate rather than the end like last time. | ||

It's too bad people chose to politicize it so heavily, but such is life. | ||
