Trump's 'Masterful Performance' Rattled Clinton

GOP nominee Donald Trump delivered a "masterful performance" at Sunday night's presidential debate that left Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton "off her game and rattled," Trump's campaign spokeswoman, Kellyanne Conway, said Monday.

"He took the case right to Hillary Clinton from the very beginning," Conway told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program. "I hear her team really trying to spin the heck out of it last night and this morning as, 'hey, she came to talk about the issues.'

Clinton, though, was the one to start the combative nature of the events in the first debate with her "diversionary tactics and extraneous moments," by bringing up topics that moderator Lester Holt had not been talking about and had "nothing to do with the subject matter at hand," Conway said.

Conway started out Monday's interview by denying several stories that had come out in the wake of hot-mic tapes of Trump making explicit comments about women, including reports she called "really bad" by NBC that she was leaving the campaign.

She also denied reports that Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, is leaving the ticket, commenting the Indiana governor is on his way to North Carolina on Monday and has a full slate of events.

Finally, she told show host Joe Scarborough that he was "zero for three" when he asked if Republicans would be coming up with an alternative for Trump.

"I think people are looking for excitement and crazy stories," said Conway. "Tune into the campaign. There's plenty there. Watch the debate last night. You have lots of fodder."

In the debate, Conway pointed out, Trump talked about Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails and the fact that she didn't know that the letter "C" means "confidential" in a document, despite having been a senator, first lady, and secretary of state.

Scarborough, Brzezinski Praise Trump's 'Epic' Debate Performance

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have both been critical over GOP nominee Donald Trump in recent months, but on Monday, they both praised him for what Brzezinski called an "epic" performance on Sunday night's presidential debate.

"This is the political reality, for the Republican base, Donald Trump delivered the attack against the Clinton machine that the Republican base in middle America [has] been waiting for, for years now," Scarborough commented the "Morning Joe" show he co-hosts with Brzezinski, going on to call Trump's explosive performance his "most effective" yet.

"My God, it was epic," Brzezinski, a liberal, who has admitted on the air that she could not be objective when it comes to Trump. "No Republican in America could have done what he did last night. It was vintage Trump. He produced a day-long show that rocked the political world."

Clinton was "on the defensive most of the night" and seemed "unsure of herself," while Trump, "who has made the Republican Party members' lives living and breathing hells for the past year and a half, last night turned it up to 11," said Scarborough. "And all of those people that jumped ship about halfway through the debate were looking at their TV saying, 'oh, shoot.'"

And when it comes to a leaked videotape of Trump using explicit language against women, Scarborough said "no Republican in America should have been surprised by what they heard on Friday" and he thinks many of those who backed away from Trump will be back.

Gingrich: GOP Demanding Trump Quit Have 'Egg on Their Face' After Debate

ormer House Speaker Newt Gingrich slammed those Republicans demanding that Donald Trump quit as the GOP presidential nominee, telling Fox News after the second debate in St. Louis, saying, "They have a lot of egg on their face, because the guy who showed up for the debate tonight… clearly has earned being the Republican nominee."

Gingrich said that Trump made his points so well during the debate that "it's kind of crazy for someone to suggest dumping him at this point, and I would hope a lot of those who panicked over the weekend would reconsider their position in light over what we have learned about Hillary through WikiLeaks and the importance of stopping her from truly crippling the country."

After the first presidential debate, the former House speaker was critical of Trump, telling The New York Times that he "has to decide that the presidency is worth drilling into," referring to his lack of preparation for the encounter.

But following the second encounter with Clinton, Gingrich emphasized to Fox News that "Trump came in prepared to go as hard as he needed to. I think he stayed nose to nose with her all evening and I think that she steadily lost . . .

"He was very fast, and I think very good in coming back on a number of occasions and basically totally outmaneuvering her in terms of language, examples, bringing her own record to bear," Gingrich added.

Huckabee: Trump Showed Contrast, 'His Cuts Drew Blood'

Mike Huckabee says while the second presidential debate "wasn't pretty" and "more like a street fight than boxing," Donald Trump won it hands down.

"Trump fearlessly took the game straight to Hillary [Clinton] and made the next 30 days about her repeated lies and corruption and not his disgusting comments of 11 years ago," the former Arkansas governor said Monday on his Facebook page.

"He often reminded people why he won the primaries by unapologetically hitting at failed policies of the elites and establishment from both parties.

"Trump needed to show contrast and he did. He is more a chain saw than a scalpel, but his cuts drew blood . . . Trump won the debate. That much I know."

Rep. Peter King: Trump 'Totally Dominated' Debate With Hillary

Donald Trump "totally dominated" his second debate Sunday with Hillary Clinton – and having former President Bill Clinton's accusers in the hall at Washington University "changed the tone of the debate" regarding the leaked 2005 video, Rep. Peter King told Newsmax TV.

"He showed upfront that this should not dominate the rest of the presidential campaign," the New York Republican told host J.D. Hayworth on the "Newsmax TV Post-Debate Special." "He showed enough contrition, and then he went on to get around to the issues that he was strong.

"Hillary thought it was smart just to sit back and not attempt to refute what Donald Trump was saying – and he really scored point after point.

"He used the word 'apologize' two or three times – and he didn’t want to get locked in a corner."

Regarding Bill Clinton's alleged indiscretions, "it was very legitimate to bring it up," King told Hayworth.

Debate: Trump Was 'All Offense'

The debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was an acrimonious 90 minute exchange filled with slurs and insults that began with Clinton saying his loutish comments about women show exactly the kind of man he is and make him unfit to be president.

He quickly fired back, at her attacks of women who were involved with her husband in extramarital affairs and then proceeded to call her "a liar," "the devil," vowed to put her in jail and insisted she "tremendous hate in her heart."

And that was in the first half hour.

The debate was a town hall format in St. Louis with both candidates standing on a stage with undecided voters sitting there with them.

They did not shake hands when they met on stage.

The debate came two days after a videotape from 2005 surfaced revealing Trump expressing vulgar and aggressive attitudes about women. It caused an avalanche of elected officials over the weekend to drop their support for the Republican nominee.

After a strong showing in the first debate, Clinton was off her game — perhaps rattled by Trump’s Facebook press conference one hour before the debate began with women who accused her husband of raping them. She played defense woodenly and sometimes arrogantly.

"Tonight Donald Trump was all offense and Hillary Clinton was all defense," said Bruce Haynes, GOP media consultant at Purple Strategies. "He discussed specific policy issues with depth and matched her intensity."

"His strategic objective tonight was to stop the bleeding in his own party and he clearly succeeded," Hayes said.

Arizona Ex-Gov. Jan Brewer: Trump Connected With Voters

Amid the much-condemned video tape scandal where Donald Trump was heard bragging about sexual assaults against women, former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has promised to continue supporting the Republican presidential nominee despite dozens of GOP lawmakers disavowing him.

Lauding Trump for his second presidential debate performance, Brewer said in a statement:

"Donald Trump again showed his ability to connect with voters, and is clearly focused on ways to improve the lives of families across the country.

"As a decades-long Washington insider, Hillary Clinton has lost the trust of the American people with her misuse of classified emails on her homebrew server and her pay-to-play scheme where she traded official State Department access for donations to the Clinton foundation from foreign agents," said Brewer.

Adding, "America yearns for someone who will boost our economy and bring back jobs to our country, which is why people will vote for change in November."

The statement comes a day after Brewer took to Facebook to pledge her continued support.

A Fox reporter went onto Hillary's plane (?) to interview her right afterwards, and she was caught mid-sentence kind of yelling at someone that her entire team was waiting to go. When she saw the reporter/camera, she smiled on a dime and composed herself. The woman is one of the biggest frauds in politics. And that is saying a lot.

Trump needed to win tonight to stay alive. Clinton did not. Trump won, and he lives to fight another day. This race is far from over.

Only a right wing blog would think Trump's performance was "masterful." :rolleyes:

I read the debate transcript and found both Trump and Clinton to be long on rhetoric and short on substance. Did either of them ever make a point that hadn't been made previously?
If I was judging the debate, I would say that both of them lost.

"Trump needed to win tonight to stay alive. Clinton did not. Trump won, and he lives to fight another day. This race is far from over."

That was from Christopher R. Barron, founder of GOProud.

As for the other assessments:

"We’ll never make headway on our serious challenges without robust national discourse. Trump’s campaign is depriving us it." - Kenneth Pennington

"I predict that on Monday there will be people saying that Trump won simply because he didn’t spontaneously combust on stage. Clinton was clearly more composed and knowledgable, while Trump did his usual word salad, ignoring questions and making the odd racist move of talking about inner cities to an undecided voter seemingly only because he was black." - Jessica Valenti

So much for your "selective quotes".

It's painfully obvious that the bar set for "victory" by Trump's supporters in these acts of political kabuki is a low one indeed, and would seem to entail little more than not soiling himself on stage.

Again, dismissed.

My only bitterness is that I hate Hillary. I can deal with the politics though, just hate that fat ugly face, and did before she ever ran.

But that hardly changes the facts I wrote, which is that you come to troll every now and again, rarely answer questions, claim victory and disappear for months or much longer. Yeah, that makes me want to reply to someone trolling us!

I won't dismiss you this time though. You do that quite well all by yourself.
