6 Takeaways from the First Presidential Debate + Who Won?

[eveofrevolution]

Hillary Clinton stepped onto the debate stage Monday night determined to show that only one candidate is ready to be president.

Clinton poked, prodded and quoted Trump's own words, goading the famously thin-skinned Republican nominee. Trump took the bait, repeatedly interrupting angrily or dismissively throughout the night.He couldn't resist

Was there anything in this debate that would cause a Trump supporter to back Clinton or visa versa? No. And it may not be there was enough to even sway an undecided voter, a group that could swing this election.

Basically.

Not sure I agree with this. It seems that any conservatives that were desperately looking for an excuse to vote for Trump was shutdown.

I can't believe that they didn't see Clinton as the more competent choice.

I can't believe it either, but I still don't think that one debate will be enough to sway uncertain voters, particularly those who tend to lean Republican. Hillary has been so demonized for so long, I think it will take A LOT to win the average conservative-leaning voter over to her side. I mean, she's having a hard time swaying some liberal voters to support her. I think the vast majority of conservative-leaning undecided voters will eventually fall in line for Trump, if only because they don't want Hillary making supreme court appointments.

and the annoying bit is that when you look at it, on domestic issues, she's way more liberal than Obama is, but they had no problem voting for him.

OMG this! She wasn't as liberal as Sanders on most (though not all) issues, sure, but Obama is center right on his most liberal day.

This might not be much, but it's something at least.
