About the size of it, sadly.
This is why I the candidates should ask each other the questions, like Lincoln and Douglas, and reduce the moderators to just that, moderators.
Weld would blow the doors off Kaine and Pence during the VP debate though

If by blow the doors off them you mean to say he's going to give them a really powerful contact high, then yeah he's going to blow the doors off of them.

there was collusion on the "he called it terrorism" thing, plain and simple. no way she was that ready for the softball when it went up.

Or maybe it was deserved. Look play it down the middle. Its not a hard thing to do. Trumps questions were soft, and that's putting it nice. I don't think HRC questions were hard, they were the right questions to ask. But lets ask the hard questions for Trump as well, or when he says he was not for the Iraq War when he was call him out on it or follow it up.
And I am not voting for HRC So just to stop the homer jersey talk

The follow up to the original question is up to the moderator is it not?

I don't have the exact quote but he said that the generals are rubble and he would have all new generals when he becomes president.

Okaaaay. Did he say he knew more about ISIS than our current generals? That's what you're laying out here.

Fit, it's a great example of how the moderator tried to use Trump's words against him in real time but asked a tough question to Hillary and allowed her to defend it.
One can be prepared for and the other cant. THAT is the power of the moderator.

Which is not the same as saying he knows more about ISIS than they do, is it?

No commercial breaks in the 90 minute debate. And no chairs or stools.
Is Vegas setting an over/under on the number of minutes until Hillary collapses?
