I can just picture the argument among the campaign staff over who's turn it was to watch Donald.

Personally, I put no weight behind the debate at all and do not use debates to determine how I vote. We're stuck in a process that functions to pick people who are not fitted to be President. We can see that with both parties.

I like democracy as a theory, but in practice it devolves into insanity, where the skills necessary to get elected are not the skills necessary to govern. Therefore, the very election process works against the best interest of the country.

We got much better candidates from the bad old days of the smoke filled rooms and under the table deals. I don't know exactly why that is true, but experience has taught that our present methods need to be changed.

What earns the nomination needs to be the skills needed to lead the country. Now, earning the nomination just about guarantees the failure of the President. Obama and GW Bush both prove that. Pushed by opposing groups of people, their presidencies accomplished the same: exceptional mediocrity. No matter who wins, we're repeating the debacle.

Trump is his own biggest enemy. Hillary must be his biggest supporter seeing as how his antics will most probably put her in the Oval Office.

I don't believe Trump is stupid enough not to realise this so what are his true motives?

I honestly think he is delusional enough to not realise that.

Never heard of him. He must be big in Europe like David Hasslehof.

Him being a right-wing conspiracy theorist nut case ("durkin urr gurns" n' all that), he's actually very big in your country, August.

Also, it's Hasselhoff. Show some respect!

Trumps antics are void of political correctness. Hillary will not say anything that might remotely offend anyone....except in emails as we have seen from the wikileaks. It is very calculating. Of all the antics Trumps drums up every minute of every day has proved to gain a lot of support. A lot of Americans are simply fed up. Specifically with enlightenment of emails that prove Clinton is in it for herself and many back room dealings for decades. There is no sense of "nation" as the smiling Hillary likes to paint.

Yeah well I live in a big country. What's big to you Europeans is not necessarily that big to us. Kinda like Hasselhof...
