    This might come off as naive, but why do debates have an audience at all if the moderator has to constantly tell them to be quiet?

    Because two people who hate each other in an empty room with a moderator reminds people of when their parents divorced.

    I can't get over how lopsided this debate was. I feel extremely proud of my support for Hillary. She owned this. People on Twitter are talking a lot about how Trump failed, but in my opinion that's a small piece of the story. Hillary succeeded, and she made Trump fail. And she deserves credit for it.

    Totally she does. I mean her team oppo researched, set up multiple traps and Trump blundered into them. Makes you wonder what they have planned for the next debates.

    Vox had a little article before the debate about how modern debates are a vain attempt to recreate the majesty of two well matched opponents in a contest of rhetorical artfulness before a captive audience as in the Lincoln-Douglass debates

    Of course, we have always managed to come up short against an idealized format of genteel debate that we only know about because Lincoln chose to write it all down over 150 years ago

    Also having an audience absolutely provides a level of energy you wouldn't otherwise get.

    Meanwhile: Stein escorted off Hofstra University campus

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/26/politics/jill-stein-presidential-debate-police-hofstra-university/index.html
    Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein was escorted off the Hofstra University campus Monday after her prearranged media interviews because she didn't have credentials to be there.

    Stein's campaign told CNN that she was at the university doing press interviews and was escorted off after an interview with MSNBC.

    Yeah that was hilarious. If there was a better example of Stein being a clown I don't know what there is.

    Like foreign agents even consider our third parties worth following.

    I just remembered how many times reiterated the need to attack Terra. He may be a xenophobic demagogue on the issue of Islamic jihad, but he's got the right idea about the Blakists.
