    Most polling suggests that Hillary Clinton won the first presidential debate. In the aftermath, Donald Trump is battling reports that he called former Miss Universe "Miss Piggy" and "Housekeeping." How should he be handling the story? All he had to say is that it was a different time and I wouldn't say that now, Rich Lowry said. Mickey Kaus, who is a Democrat but says he might vote for Trump, says, "If it just dawned on the public that he is crude about women, then where have they been?" Margie Omero said Trump wound up not being graded on a curve, We wanted to see him be coherent for 90 minutes and he couldn't. We should not be surprised he took the bait and is cruel and can't be coherent about presidential duties.

    Josh Barro(Business Insider) moderates from the Center. On the Left is Margie Omero (Democratic Pollster and EVP at PSB Research). Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right. Mickey Kaus (Kaus Files) is our special guest.
