Trump looked unprepared, ill-informed and - as the debate wore on - increasingly disinterested in the whole argument (except as it related to him personally). At times it looked like he was coming up with his stance on issues on the fly.
It would be such an indictment of the American populace if this election ends up even being close. The disparity in the qualifications of these two candidates is a yawning chasm. I genuinely think I know about 20 people who I could have put up on that stage - with no preparation whatsoever - who would have performed better, and come across as more knowledgeable than Trump did. He just doesn't have the tools to deal in anything more than soundbites, and these debates - where he has to actually opine on real issues for 2 minutes at a time - are going to kill him.
