Who won the town hall debate?

Who won the town hall debate?
But more damning still was the way he handled the disgusting video from 11 years ago in which he made vulgar sexual remarks. Trump could possibly have achieved a measure of forgiveness if he had issued a sincere, thoughtful apology about his past as well as some ugly incidents in this campaign. But his apology was limited in scope, seemed slightly dismissive, and went off track when he mixed ISIS into the conversation.
Adding insult to injury, he then went into an incredulous rant about Hillary's deleted emails. It was an entirely legitimate attack until he vowed that if elected, he would "instruct" his attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to pursue her and that if he were President today, she would be in jail.
Say what? Those are the way tin-pot dictators act, jailing their political opponents. If he had done a half hour studying up (something that seems beyond him), he would know that under the law, a president can request -- but not order -- the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor and Justice must then make a decision independent from White House control. Trump has a strange tropism toward Richard Nixon, forgetting that such safeguards were put in place precisely because of his abuses of power.
Donald Trump is a jerk. An embarrassment to a major party. I'd disown him if I were a Republican.

We all heard the sniffing. He may be high on drugs yesterday to appear confident.

There was a town hall debate? It was more like a Sunday Night Live show…but, not funny, just embarrassing.
The American People were the losers, when it comes to expecting some decency and civility in Presidential Politics.
Donald insulting her personally, calling her the Devil, using her husband’s ex-girlfriends, now scorned enemies as willing props, threatening to throw her in jail, like a wannabe dictator, admirable to see Hillary remain cool. Even he had to acknowledge in the end, the fact that she is a fighter – with stamina, and never gives up. I thought she may say something about Bill Clinton, to indicate that he is not on the ballot, but looks like she decided not to go there and separate herself from him.
Speaking of loyalty…was interesting to see Trump separate himself from his running mate and disagree with him on Syria. Pence may have a smiling face, but his positions seem more ultra conservative.
Who knows what else can happen in the next 30 days?
I am not sure if the polls are accurate (seems like many are not telling the truth about who they are going to vote for), it is going to be close.
Quite unpredictable!

I don't know how any American can vote for this sleazeball Trump, who they are ashamed introducing to their kids.
All Trump says for all questions is:
"Folks, our plan is going to be beautiful. You don't know how good it is going to be."
