CNN: Trump did better than people thought he would

[brettdale]

Low expectations I guess.

[CAG]

1. He passed the 3rd grade reading level test

[oh08dem]

2. He could stand comatose next debate and preform even better

Hell I would approve, at least I wouldn't have to hear the *SNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIFFFFF*

[Lanius]

3. Doing better than they thought

doesn't mean he still didn't suck.

[meadowlark5]

4. He was better than the last debate but still sucked

He showed *some* restraint with all of the interrupting. I think he was somewhat better, no weird faces and noises.

He still was stupid and obnoxious and saying a lot of very disturbing dictator things.

[BlueStater]

8. That's the thing.

It was better than his first performance but still worse than every other one ever given by any candidate in a presidential debate. McCain and Romney would be annihilated by the media and viewers if they ever acted like this. This was not a remotely acceptable performance for anyone who wants to be president.

[meadowlark5]

10. The bar is so incredibly low for that lout that as long as he doesn't shit his pants on stage

we're somewhat impressed.

[smirkymonkey]

18. *snort*

Very funny, but sadly true. How low this nation has sunk.

[malaise]

5. Wasn't that part of their poll where she slaughtered him

with above 50% - 34% while agreeing that he did better than the firstdebate.
He still lost

[BlueStater]

6. He looked so presidential.

Especially when he kept standing behind her like a creepy rapist.

[angrychair]

9. Let's also add

That Hillary Clinton doing "the same" is a good thing since she buried him in the last debate.

[LeftInTX]

11. The exposure of the tape didn't rattle him

He could have had a meltdown and pulled a Tonya Harding...

[yellowcanine]

12. Only because he did not turn into Captain Queeg and break out the steel balls.

So yes, he did better than that.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. I felt like he was really overly trying to keep himself sounding calm

it was, in and of itself, creepy.

[mnmoderatedem]

15. trump is the kid who keeps bring home straight F report cards from school

then when he brings home a D- they put it on the refrigerator.

[gollygee]

16. If he'd done too badly he might have thought about leaving the race

He's a horrible candidate, and now he's energized to stay in it. I think it's a good thing. He's going to lose so badly it'll break records. This is our best chance for the senate, and maybe we'll gain in the house too.

[ismnotwasm]

17. He was fucking babbling

There were times when he made no sense. He didn't do "better" --he choked--

[spanone]

19. CNN's poll found that by 57-34%, a majority of voters watching them thought she got the best of him.
