Trump Fell Apart About 45 Seconds Into the Debate

Republicans are trying to say that he started off well but then fell apart after awhile. Bullshit. He started off calm and quiet but then he started rambling less than a minute in (I am not exaggerating at all) and seemed to get very flustered during his first answer. He never recovered after that. It just got worse and worse. She got under his skin right off the bat and he never stood a chance of regaining his composure. That was absolutely brutal. That was way worse than Kerry's first debate with Bush or Biden's debate with Palin. If I had to describe Trumps performance I would say: rambling mess, yelling, rude, completely unprepared, and sweaty.

He looked like a rank amateur. Hillary looked like seasoned pro. This is not her first rodeo. She knows how to handle amateurs.
