Hillary won the debate series (in the Real World -- as opposed to the Trump/Drudge/Breitbart World), and in more ways than one.
She won on points. She won by not making any major flubs. She won by giving SNL plenty of material to make Trump an even bigger laughing stock -- and winning another pair of deserved Emmy's for Baldwin & McKinnon.
But mostly, Trump lost, by driving the news (in numerous bad ways) in the post-debate periods. The Machado Incident after the first debate -- exposing his egomaniacal inability to suppress talking (and tweeting) about a personal slight, even at the expense of his stated goal of becoming president.
The flood of sexual assault accusers after he took the Access Hollywood/Anderson Cooper bait at the second debate.
The Breitbart-fueled final debate where he threatened to hold democracy "in suspense" if he doesn't like the results on November 8, before rattling off a nonsensical answer careening from Syria to Mosul and back, and scaring every sane person everywhere in the process.
And finally, the ensuing crackup after the third exchange, where HE thinks he won all three debates -- as his polling numbers have plummeted.
Yeah, I'd say she won. :-)
