I haven't seen polling that indicates that Trump won this debate... although some are giving him credit for what he said on international trade deals.   I thought even that part of his speech was garbled and it remains very unclear what he was talking about.

Asked what he would do to fulfill his statements that he would 'bring manufacturing back to the US from overseas'.... he instead answered that he would stop companies from leaving in the first place.   Good idea, Donald, but how about answering the question you were asked?  Perhaps the answer is that he has no answer, promising to bring manufacturing back was just something he decided to say because it sounded good to him.

He really has no ideas beyond his stock phrases & cliches.  He's a showman, not a thinker.

But last night, he didn't even prepare for the show.

We will see if he backs out of the future debates based on his poor showing last night.... if he does that, he will have to find a way to spin it to NOT look like he is hiding his weakness.   For Donald, that means blaming someone else.
