It reminds me of that Obama slide after the 1st debate with Romney. Nobody really decided to vote for Romney it just gave them pause about voting for Obama but they were never going to vote for Romney so he just had to win them back which she is kinda doing right now. | ||

I can't believe this isn't the most controversial statement from this debate, but it's not even in the top five. | ||

This is the first time a lot of them REALLY start paying attention to what they say outside of headlines. Before that it was just whoever had the worst headline of the day. Now that he is truly being shown for what he is I cant imagine anyone saying "I support that" | ||

America should be a guardian of democracy and freedom in the world and work to improve our relationships with our allies. Trump is really losing my sympathy for him here. It's also a blatant falsehood. IIRC US bases in Germany and Japan, for instance, are in part subsidized by the host countries at near half-cost of the deployment (vs domestic deployment). | ||

Clinton has the same poll % as she did one year ago. Trump has gone up very slightly. Both of them have gone up and down very rapidly during that time. | ||
