It's debate time!!   :biggrin:
Did you watch it?    :biggrin:  I did. Every single minute. Just turned off the TV.

Yes, I too watched the whole thing.

Was it just me or were there times when Trump spoke and couldn't seem to quite put together a coherent sentence?  I notice that most of the Trumpies on Facebook are conspicuously silent this morning. 
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Lucky you.

Mine are all over the place claiming victory and that Lester Holt was biased.  :rolleyes:

I've seen claims of bias but reality is biased.  How could anyone who watched that think that Trump performed well?

One poll claims Trump has won and another poll claims Hillary has won.

I don't know how anyone can claim that, but I've often wondered how two people can watch the exact same thing and come to such differing conclusions as to what transpired. 

Trump to me acted like a sophomoric bully when he kept saying "Wrong!" all the time and interrupting Clinton as she spoke.  Clinton elucidated several policy measures while Trump didn't expound on any. 

I should have altered my drinking game last night to drink whenever Trump said, "It's a beautiful thing."  I would have been passed out by the time  it was over.

I should have altered mine to only drink when he made sense and I wouldn't have been hung over this morning.   :biggrin:

I had friends saying she didn't say anything about her policies and they claimed, too, that Trump won.  Said by two different friends:  "Why is it when Hillary talks she doesn't ever say anything?" and "Trump does tell many facts & she speaks BS."  I guess they never heard of Factcheck.

;D  I was thinking about doing a drinking game, but figured I'd be plastered after the first 15 minutes.  Not good to do on a work night!  :laugh:

I don't know how anyone who watched and listened to what both said could have any doubt that Clinton won. Trump early on seemed uneasy and short of breath --  for a while after they began you could hear him breathing, quick short breaths, and he kept drinking water. A lot of water. As for what he had to say, he was on the defensive most of the time because Hillary let loose and wowed 'em; she seemed to be enjoying herself. She is a professional and it showed.

A clip of Dr.  Howard Dean wondering if Donald Trump's sniffles were due to cocaine use.  :o
