I'm trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt but that was really out of Left field. You can certainly have that opinion, but you need to back it up. If your answer is IT'S OBVIOUS or EVERYONE WATCHING SAID HE LOST, that says more about you.

Personally I think Trump did great in the first one and was too subdued and non-combative in the second one, after they had threatened to cut his mic at any moment beforehand. He would have excelled in the third debate on foreign policy that Joe cancelled.

The whole debate format and letting some "journalist" pick questions and moderate is ridiculous. They need to do a roundtable online - like a podcast where guests are just shooting the shit - and ask each other their own questions. I don't even mind if they share the questions with one another first as long as they are questions they think their voters will care about. Maybe have a host asking questions from the audience (superchats?) now and then. Let old media fucking die already.
