WOW...so media spinning a Trump win? Hope the CNN

snap poll proves them wrong. Maybe they should have released the bus tape after the debate in case he won. If they have something else, maybe they should drop it now. Can't listen to media spin a Trump comeback for next couple of weeks. If Kellyanne is out spinning then she is happy with the results. No spin last time...

They said he didnt do well at all but he played to what his base wanted to hear. However, its not enough to actually win the election. They said that it may have been enough to stop the bleeding among republicans but it was no where near enough to win over anyone

I think the main issue is that this whole debate ended up anticlimactic. Hillary did fine, and won, but didn't take him out completely. I think part of that was intentional, due to undecided voters having very short memories an attention spans - saving the big guns for debate 3

Seriously, that's the level of substance this is reduced to.

He skirted, avoided and deflected. Not to mention put out some totally insane concepts, yet he won?

The fact checkers are going to destroy him, and he won?!

Damn. What a messed up political system we live in now.
