Hillary Clinton might have fared better than Donald Trump in their first debate Monday — but the Republican "may have come out of the debate with an edge in terms of electability," political strategist Dick Morris told Newsmax TV.
"All Hillary did was sort of reinforce what everyone knows about her," he told host J.D. Hayworth on the "Newsmax TV Post-Debate Special" in an interview. "That she's knowledgeable and competent and articulate.
"But what Trump did was to debunk the rumors and the attacks that he's a horrible person, that he's irresponsible, that he doesn't know what he's talking about, that he's a wild man.
"He did very well in answering that and coming across as presidential and is having good temperament."
