I look forward to reading this thread tomorrow morning. I'd actually love to see the debate live, but it's around 3 am for me.

I'm loving getting up at 4 AM for this, it's the event of a lifetime.

First thing Clinton did was walk into an angle so that the camera has Trump in the background.

She's so got this.

Trump isn't doing as poorly as I anticipated?

Or is that just me being extra nervous?

He's not shat himself on stage but he's getting there, there's still over 40 minutes of this

I think he barely stopped short, just ranted about ISIS for 2 minutes

Guys:

Trump threatened to jail his political opponent

Talked about Isis when confronted with Pussyghazi

Rolled out the primary red meat wagon midway through the debate

Repeated the Iraq lie

Admitted again that he hasn't paid taxes

A Muslim woman asked him about Islamophobia and he flew into another two minute rant on Isis

The Muslim ban is still on

Like any collapsing market the Trump market was on meltdown five-alarm mode and him cratering at the debate was already priced in at least slightly, now that Trump barely held it together for 90 minutes, Clinton's merely at 77 cents.

i think its also when one side cheers the other side feels obliged to cheer. i noticed the trump dudes were the first to go with the cheers and it generally went in that pattern (trump side cheers, dem side cheers less then a minute later), but i got lyin' ears sometimes.

This is almost certainly what happened because if only Trump gets cheers, Clinton people are nervous it gives off the wrong impression and sways the watchers.

They should just not have an audience at all, except for press. It's less of a security hassle too.

I think they should give you ten to fifteen seconds grace after your two minutes. Just mention time, but don't harp on them if they are finishing their thought.

They actually have warning lights these days so the candidates are just pushing it. Although it's kind of hard to estimate how long your thought is going to be in :words: down to the second, I would expect a seasoned candidate to have that down.
