A few things:

1) The debates matter to undecided voters.

2) Trump has a successful debate if he appears to not be insane and offensive. He was only a 3 or 4/10 on the wacko scale.

2) Hillary wins the debate if she hammers Trump non-stop for why he's a terrible candidate. She did this for the majority of the debate.

4) Trump crushed the first 30 minutes. Hillary won the final 60. Trump was great in the primary debates in small part because he didn't have to do half of the talking. Here, he seemed to fizzle out and talked more with his hands in the final hour because that's what he does when Trump is stumped.

5) Hillary needs to stay on the attack. She can't let Trump dictate the debate because his strong suit is verbal aggression. Don't let up.

6) Same strategy for Trump. He needs to bring up over and over and over again regarding her near 30 years of political service that has been terrible in many eyes of the undecided voters.

Quality take, actually.
