　　福克斯新闻称，特朗普向克林顿夫妇疯狂开炮的决定就像是在前一场辩论中“希拉里向特朗普抛出了艾莉茜娅?马查多。”

　　'This could be one of the biggest knockouts I've seen'

　　“这可能是我见过最猛的制胜一击”

　　That was the line used by Breitbart news, which is in a minority in handing the title to Mr Trump.

　　布莱巴特新闻网使用了上面这段文字，这是为数不多的一家将特朗普视为赢家的媒体。

　　华盛顿邮报称，从纳税到外交政策，特朗普存在诸多问题，这为希拉里给自己作新一轮政治宣传提供了大量素材。

　　A cnn/ORC poll of debate watchers handed Sunday's victory to Mrs Clinton. But the results also showed that Mr Trump managed to exceed expectations.

　　cnn和ORC对电视观众进行的一份联合民调认为9日辩论胜利属于希拉里。但是结果还显示特朗普表现超出期待。

　　Ron Fournier, whose coverage¹¹ of US politics dates back to the days of Bill Clinton, writes that Mrs Clinton did about as well as anyone could while dealing¹² with a "barking" opponent and "pouting¹³ menace".

　　朗?福尼尔（前美联社政治评论员，译者注）从比尔?克林顿时期就开始报道美国政治，他写道在“大吼大叫”的对手和“厉色的恐吓”面前，希拉里的应对不比任何人差。

　　Mr Fournier said that throughout the debate the controversial Republican "failed to patch together his collapsing¹⁴ campaign".
