Which things in Debate #1 hurt Trump the most?

[angus]

I voted for one option only:  defended not paying people for their work.

But that's not really it.  Immediately after he said that he said our government shouldn't pay certain debts.  At that moment I knew he would lose the general election.

To be fair, I should say that I did not watch the entire debate.   About 25 minutes in I thought, "why am I watching this excrement?" and turned the channel.  It was all predictable.  Insincere posturing and faux charm in the beginning, giving way quickly to aggression and vitriol.  Trump was rude and obnoxious.  Clinton was condescending.  Few policy details were offered.  There was nothing I hadn't heard before regarding a legislative agenda.  Still, hearing Trump say that we should become welchers, live, in front of potentially 80 million people made me think he will not win any new supporters from here out, and probably will lose a few.


Clinton:  We have an architect in the audience who designed one of your clubhouses at one of your golf courses. It's a beautiful facility. It immediately was put to use. And you wouldn't pay what the man needed to be paid, what he was charging you to do--

Trump: Maybe he didn't do a good job and I was unsatisfied with his work.

Clinton: Well, to--

Trump: Which our country should do, too.

really?!
