Bogus? He called out Donnie on his BS lies...like blatantly obvious lies. Did he overstep a few times with some questions? Perhaps, he definitely didn't ask Hillary similar questions regarding her controversies, but seeing as hers had less to do with actual policies it makes some sense.
But to call out Hillary for "knowing" responses shows your bias. She is a seasoned politician, she knows her platform (since she actually has one) and she knows how to debate. It also isn't hard to be shown as a more competent and even-keeled debater when your opponent talks in circles, speaks in generalizations, and is easily aggregated by the simplest of comments.
If Donnie wants to do well next debate he needs to do a few things. First he needs to prepare, secondly, he needs to remain calm, and most importantly, he needs to hit her on what makes him attractive to his voting base (beyond the racial controversies) which include trade, her lack of "results" (not sure what a SoS and former Senator can do on their own independent of support), and frankly her flip-flopping. She has shown she can handle some faults well since she actually apologized for her server mistake but sometimes a candidates response doesn't matter, the damage has been done.
It it doesn't matter how Donnie did in the minds of his voting base or Hillary's base, it matters to those people on the fence and since he came off poorly (you can't really argue otherwise), it is imperative he doesn't repeat his antics again. Hell, he doubled down on his fat comments less than 12 hours later. Like for fucks sake, you're running for President, leave that shit alone and sure as hell don't double down.
