.@HillaryClinton won handily tho not perfect. #trump‘s lack of prep and training really showed. Discipline was lacking. #Debates2016
— Norm Eisen (@NormEisen) September 27, 2016
At the start of the debate, bettors ranked Clinton a 63% chance to win.
By the end, it’s up to 68%

#debates this answer on temperament and judgment is one of the best moments. And now back to reality with HRC.

When #Trump talks about #NATO, does he want allies to meet 2% of GDP for defense standard, or does he want allies to pay US for protection?
