That said, I don't think Trump lost the debate either. They both scored points and both evaded answering certain questions. I don't think either one did so well or so poorly that any voters switched sides. In my mind it was a draw.

Yeah, Sam, I get that. Trump did not seem to be conscious of his facial expression, which by the way gives away his honest feelings. A lot of the time he seemed exasperated to have to detail his answers and obviously did not like 2 or 3 occasions that Lester Holt tried to correct him. To me she was practiced and ready to do what she does best, lie and use innuendo and references to unknown information, like Trumps tax returns. She knew his weak points for the presentation and seems she expected every question that the moderator came out with. I noticed that each debate is at a different location and a different moderator, and even different formats. Generally she baited Trump and got him to bite more times than the reverse. She evaded any real answers to a lot of his allegations relating to her record, as has been her past practice. She does not seem to get it of how much she does not meet the truthfulness factor to most people. She is a politician and knows how to work her way around questions so as not to be pinned down, pretty much. The part I was shocked about with Trump when he got on the defensive about not releasing his tax returns, which Holt pointed out, typically has been done, that was the perfect time besides his answer about releasing after the audit, or the weak well worn answer that he will when she releases the 33,000 emails, that at that time he could have launched into a challenge to Hill to explain the noted hundreds of millions on her tax return that was given to the Clinton Foundation for a complete tax write off, but that only 10% of donations, by the Clinton Foundations records had been used for charitable purposes. Basically the Clintons had given themselves humdreds of millions of dollars by using the foundation. For her to have to explain that, at the same juncture would have opened a huge wound and how would she get out without more lies?
