UPDATE – AT 11:58 P.M. ET: I've yet to see or read a relatively objective observer who thought Trump won the debate. I will stick by my earlier belief that a small advantage went to Clinton, primarily because of style and appearance. She actually came off as somewhat likeable, whereas Trump wore a constant sneer. Television is a cool medium, and sneering doesn't usually work because it isn't attractive. I'll be looking for more reactions, and new polls. I certainly don't think Trump was destroyed, but I think his momentum was slowed or stopped. Bottom line: It was hard to like him as a man.
