You think Farage's debate coaching made a difference in this one?

Farage has never been in a serious debate. He's not a politician in the UK. He's like Gary Johnson.

Eh, Gary Johnson was a former governor.

True. Whereas Farage has never won a seat in the Houses of Parliament.


What exactly has he even done? I was under the impression he did a lot to get Brexit to pass

Yes, he campaigned for decades against his own job that Kwark thinks is less meaningful than the home parliament.

I voted tie, but too many Trump zingers found their mark. I only listened to the audio, but she still sounded Rubio-esque at times.

Just saying "he's lying" and directing people to hillaryclinton.com unfortunately doesn't do enough.


If you only listened to the audio you missed Trump being a huge creeper in where/how he stood all night.

Him creeping behind Clinton is going to play very poorly. Just like Bush v Clinton and Bush looking at his watch.

I voted tie and I think I support Hillary more. 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?).
Can someone please explain/how water falls with no rain?

I would say the debate was close but it was a lose for trump in that all it did was placate his base. News flash trump is losing badly, he needs to be moving outside his base to try and win. This seemed like a primary debate to me.

I put it as a tie. I don't think either of them are moving the dial with who is and is not supporting the candidates. I think the telling part might be what Trump decides to do post-debate. Random rants as follow up, would be a bad idea, imo.

exactly. 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.

Trump didn't implode like in the first debate but it still was just rambling. Probably a tie because there's no expectations for Trump but not enough to change anything about his terrible momentum.

As awful as Mike Pence's ideas are, I feel soooo bad for him, having to defend Trump 24/7 and then Trump just casually throws Pence under the bus and says he's wrong.

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.

It won't. Trump is already losing and no one is going to change their mind based on this. People are kidding themselves if they think this is going to "change the game".

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.
