Did anyone else notice the long-haired blond guy?

Watch him at the 1:39 mark in this video:

?t=5938

He does not seem to be a Trump supporter. It looks like he asks Trump a question, and Trump seems to ignore him. The expression on the guy's face speaks volumes. Are there any lip readers on DU?

ETA: The exact time of the incident is 1:38:58, and it only lasts a few seconds; I'm trying to post the video so that it starts at that time, but it's not working.

5. He's a member of the audience.

You can see the security guards hovering behind Trump a few seconds earlier. This guy is not dressed the way they are and doesn't have an ear piece. He and his partner seem at first to be trying to avoid Trump, and then he finally asks a question and appears to be ignored. He seems rather annoyed by that.

7. I found this page, where they compare pictures:

http://97x.com/vince-neil-was-at-the-final-presidential-debate/

but to me it looks like a different person. The guy at the debate almost looks part Native American or Hispanic.

BTW, I had no idea who Vince Neil was before this; it seems a lot of people thought that was him. If you Google "vince neil debate" you'll see that his apparent attendance of the debate was "reported" by several web sites, but if you click on the links, they no longer exist. So I think it wasn't Vince Neil.

11. I just wonder what he asked Trump.

I never heard of Vince Neil before this, so I didn't pick up on the resemblance. But I think it's significant that Trump insulted or at best ignored an audience member who dared to ask him a question, to such an extent that the poor guy looked really insulted and hurt afterwards.

12. Trump had an earlier interaction with the man at about 1:38:25

That was a little longer but the man's back is to the camera. The guy next to him with the Wolverine hairdo is the same in both clips.

13. Thank you, I missed that.

I saw the guy and his friend in it but missed the interaction, which looks like a friendly one. (I guess Trump's supporters were sitting on the right, which suggests these two were Trump supporters.)

OK, I guess I misinterpreted. The guy was just upset that Trump didn't spend more time with him.

ETA: The rolling eyes are directed at him, not at you.

14. Your observation skills are great.

I was watching the post-debate audience reactions because I enjoy that sort of thing (the post Democratic Convention close up shots were really nice), but totally missed that interaction.

He definitely got rebuffed by a coked up Trump.

15. The difference between HRC's and Trump's interactions is amazing, isn't it?

She is surrounded by people, listening to them, smiling at them, posing for pictures with them. Trump, on the other hand, marches through, acting all important. As after all the debates, he was out of there while she was still mingling.

(I missed an earlier part where the long-haired blond guy and his friend were interacting in a friendly way with Trump. See this post above. So it looks like Trump was dismissive of a guy who was actually a supporter!)

19. Indeed, I find body language speaks volumes.

I think he was complimenting Trump to segue to his own opinion about something but Trump took the compliment and dismissed him.

Would be interesting to get that guy to be interviewed about it.

I believe Hillary is sincere and true and she's going to do great things, because the fabricated media narrative about her leaves her with no where to go but up. I think deep down that's a reason she keeps fighting.

17. Google Image Search came up with the possibility of Cyril O'Reilly
