Righties are panicking - they are attempting to pack all of the "online polls" (the ones where anybody, anywhere can "vote" as many times as they want) and are declaring that because Trump is "winning" them all, that it means everyone else is lying about his poor performance.
Next week, when the real polls have registered the debate, they will be saying that polls are meaningless.
Crikey, the aggressive stupidity is a bit scary.
I bet Trump's mind works the same fashion. Ooooh! Turns out the Righties are conspiring with the Ruskies in trolling the online polling... Trolling the polls In the old days all the buggers involved would have been tossed in the gulag as spies and traitors.

Having microphone switches would yield a more orderly debate, but would physically prevent interruptions. So watchers would not be able to count them and conclude one or more debaters has poor social skills.
I think interruptions might actually give us some useful information about a candidate's a-hole index, so to speak. If a candidate gets so agitated as to forget the rules of polite conversation, maybe that says something about temperament in tough situations.

But yeah, what happened to sedition? Colluding with Russians to throw an election?

IT IS THE OPINION OF SUANEWS THAT THE CNN DEBATE POLL SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED AS A CREDIBLE SOURCE. HILLARY LOST ALL THE POLLS

Here's a pretty good analysis by an actual debate coach: Debate coach: Trump simply couldn't stand being criticized Todd Graham is the director of debate at Southern Illinois University. His teams have won five national championships and advanced to the "final-four" of a national championship tournament nine consecutive years. He's been recognized three times as the national debate coach of the year. Not a very long article. Worth reading the opinion of a pro.

They saw the same sweaty, fidgety snort-nosed angry orange homunculus most of America saw. You wished that were true. It was-- but I am still of the firm belief that his lovers love him no matter what. And until they wake up to that inevitable next day, to then discover that he has gone forever,-- they always will.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Clinton Won The Debate, Which Means She’s Likely To Gain In The Polls - FiveThirtyEight. I will be watching intently. I think a return to the mean is likely, i.e., a 4-5% Clinton lead.

Trevor Noah just made one of the most accurate statements about Trump: he relates to the United States like it's a game of monopoly. (He also raised Trump's sniffling... is it a coke issue?)

Dang! Trump was sniffling like a common Colombian Coke Lord last night. Is that where he gets his energy to Tweet all night long? That was my wife's speculation, and why he wore out the second half and got so irritable. Jonesing? My wife is speculating as to whether Trump has ever gone down on a whatever, ever.
