one more from redstate - it’s scathing:

I don’t care if you lower the bar to China; I don’t see any way in Hell Donald Trump “won” any portion of this debate. Even on those occasions when he was actually right on the issues, such as the court, the second amendment and abortion, he was so inarticulate, incoherent and woefully uniformed that he lost the argument. That irks me even more; by his mere association with these conservative principles he degrades and discredits them.
The rest of the time, particularly on any question remotely touching on foreign policy, he was as wacky as a loon and couldn’t even form complete sentences. He got his ample butt handed to him on hiring foreign workers, using Chinese steel and failing to pay income taxes, and he continued to play Mortimer Snerd to Putin’s Edgar Bergen.
Stylistically there were times when my wife and I thought we were actually watching Alec Baldwin rather than the real Donald Trump. You could tell that from about 30 minutes in she had succeeded in getting under his skin to the point that he was seething and could not control himself; from the shouted interruptions, to the leaning into the microphone and saying “wrong” (usually when she had quoted him accurately), and that last, “such a nasty woman” business; the latter objection provoked by her second reference to his failure to pay income taxes, a point he had already conceded.
Then he tops it all off by refusing to say he will accept the results of the election (or more precisely teasing whether he will; probably to get one big final audience for his new Trump TV launch). Never mind the fact that he is also going to get killed by fact checkers tomorrow. He didn’t just lose this debate — he got run over by a diesel truck.

maybe i shoulda bolded the whole thing?
