But I couldn't stop laughing!
I knew it would be a barn-stormer and actually predicted that Donald would bomb the first debate, but wow, that was epic. Except for Donald's campaign employees, everyone else including some of Donald's surrogates has concluded that Hillary won.You'll have to go elsewhere to review the fact-checking scorecard because I was laughing so hard I couldn't type. However, here are some things worth noting:
- Earlier today the Predictit market had a Hillary win priced at a low of $0.60; at the end of the debate, it was up to a high of $0.70. That's a huge swing for a single day.
- Sopan Deb's Twitter feed is an amazing fact-checking resource.
- Debate 2016 could be characterized as a Donald infomercial for his real estate.
- Lester Holt did a solid job, but even when he tried to fact-check Donald, Donald wasn't having any of it. Complete contempt for the truth.
- If anyone tells you Donald did well, they're lying through their teeth.
- Frank Luntz, the guy most liberals hate, offered the scorecard in his cliche listener panel: 17 - 3 in favor of Hillary.
- CNN's own panel of undecided Florida voters said Hillary won 18 - 2.
- Matt Yglesias said it best: "Donald Trump’s first presidential debate confirmed he has no idea what he’s talking about."
