On substance and manner, Trump was clearly the winner. Hillary gave her usual robotic answers sprinkled with cheap shots, which is her preparation for the past week.

At the end of the debate, while Hillary was droning on with snippets rehearsed, Trump gave the best description of Hillary. He said, "Such a nasty woman." Who could disagree with that? She is nasty and a woman.

Trump brought out that the violence at his rally in Chicago and other rallies was caused by operatives of the Clinton campaign. Hillary did not deny it.

On the Middle East disaster in Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Libya, Trump clearly stated that Obama and Hillary, as secretary of state, caused the disaster by withdrawing from Iraq without leaving a force. Hilary did not deny it.

On Mosul, Trump said we announced several months ago that we would attack Mosul to get the ISIS leaders, thus giving the ISIS heads-up to leave. Hillary did not defend giving the ISIS leaders advance warning so they could leave Mosul. So if we take Mosul, so what? The ISIS leaders have left, so they can continue to attack us.

On the emails scandal, Hillary did not deny that she destroyed emails after a subpoena was issued by Congress.

On the question whether we should leave a force in Iraq if we defeat ISIS, Hillary gave a "Clintonian" answer that we would not leave an "occupying force." Hillary, if president, may leave a force but not classify it as an "occupying force" and call it another name.

Trump was clear that we would build the wall and support the Second Amendment, whereas Hillary dodged the question about her speech advocating "open borders." She gave a Clintonian answer that this meant not open borders for immigration, but open borders for electrical grids. Only the MSM believes this.

Hillary dodged the question on the corruption in Haiti by the Clinton Foundation.

Trump was clear on reducing taxes and appointing conservative judges who may overturn Roe v. Wade, thus sending the abortion issue back to the states, which was the law until 1971. He was strong in opposing late-term abortions, whereas Hillary clearly supports abortion up to the minute of birth.

The big issue for the TV pundits was Trump's refusal to say he will accept the results of the election if he loses. Trump said he will wait to see how the election is conducted. Al Gore spent three months litigating the results of the 2000 election, then many Democrats attacked Bush as an illegitimate president.

Some of the TV pundits tried to characterize this as Trump being against a peaceful transition. This is absurd. Trump said he will review how the election is conducted and then decide. Given the issues surrounding the election, such as the Pew report on the number of mistakes in registered voters, the Hillary campaign paying thugs to start fights at Trump rallies, the MSM refusing to cover the email scandal, and Wikileaks, it is rational to say we will review how the election was conducted.

Trump won because his issues of reducing taxes, border control, and defeating terrorism are in the best interest of our country. Trump made it clear that Hillary will be the third term of Obama.
