I hate both of them, I was only one (that I saw) to answer "neither" on the "who are you rotting for" question. But the categories are ok, no need to have too many. Just need a "they both sucked" option. | ||

But I think so many of the people whose opinions are malleable at this point don't know what I know that those attack lines probably played well. The thing about her Senatorship is a good example here. Not on any of the things independents care about. Just the Russia policy which plays into the Putin's buddy angle. And overall that just looks really bad-especially juxtaposed with his other Russia comments after the U.S. formally accused them. | ||

The problem is that the bar was set really, really low by the last debate. He had the upper hand during the first part of the debate because Hillary could never look good in a shit-slinging contest; if she tries to yell over him or get down in the mud, people will just think badly of her, whereas we expect Trump to do it. Like last time though, Trump continued to look worse and worse as the night went on. His policy answers were awful, he repeatedly demonstrated complete ignorance about how both the government and the economy work, he repeatedly interrupted Clinton and whined and argued with the moderators, he continued to blatantly lie about countless things that can readily be fact-checked, and he almost never answered the question. Hillary took him to town on actual policy-related answers and looked significantly more calm and composed for the entire debate. First debate: 80:20 Hillary. 2nd Debate: 55:45 Hillary. I don't think there's a chance in hell that Trump could get a poll bump from this debate. Too many sound bites and pictures that will make him look bad in the next few media cycles, particularly when he said that he hasn't talked to Pence and that he disagrees with him. At absolute best, Trump marginally outperformed Clinton in the eyes of the public, but it will probably be swayed by how the media portrays the debate: there weren't many (if any) really good lines or sound bites digging into Clinton, whereas there were still quite a few that can look bad for Trump. His performance probably looked a lot better to his supporters, but I highly doubt that it would sway any undecided voters. | ||

Euros are laughing at you even having Trump as a candidate. He has a pew poll with single digit support amongst Europeans. | ||

I guess that's a win for Trump? Isn't that just sad? | ||
