According to polls, Republicans have only won 4 debates ever, and all of them were close (again, in polls) except for Romney's first debate with Obama.

Also, I do not understand Trump's bizarre decision to continue denying the intelligence reports about Russian hacking. It doesn't do him any favors, and wouldn't hurt him with his base at all, and is pointless if he is indeed a patsy...it has to be pure ego at this point.

Cruz and Carson would have lost badly. Rubio would have slaughtered though.


I was thinking Kasich or Ryan or even Romney.


Biden destroyed Ryan, he's done for. Kasich or Romney would have done well too. They needed to put forth a sane centrist. The country wasn't asking a lot!

The GOP drove all the centrists out of their party. The closest things they have left are a few straggling single-issue voters.

Pretty sure Dukakis unanimously lost that debate against Bush when he answered like a robot when asked about if he would support the death penalty for someone that raped his wife.



It's actually the moment that most people think single-handedly sank his campaign.

There were some in the primary but they decided to put a mad man up. It's not hard to put someone more likable than Hillary up against her. Well, its not hard in theory....in practice with their primary voters its impossible.

I'm gonna guess the polls asking who won the debate, once aggregated, are gonna be around 60% hillary 40% trump.

also watching cspan; some of the callers in are of course complete idiots, sad. but can't expect random people calling in to be that knowledgeable.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

I can't believe a candidate for President actually said "bigly" twice at the final presidential debate, thinking about it. It was definitely "bigly" and not "big league" too.

38% said Dukakis won, 29% said Bush.

Im not sure why the hell anything Big Don says would ever surprise me, but the "ill keep you in suspense" thing floored me. The flub of all flubs. Now I just hope he doesn't mean it when he gets crushed on the 8th...

I'm sure the most pissed off person by far is Pence. Have fun with that.

You're always going to have 20-40% of people who will vote R or D come hell or high water. If the party was actually running the corpse of Hitler they'd still vote for him. 20-40% are absolutely unswayable by anything in the universe.

I think Trump will just run again in 2020 and we'll get to see more debates of him vs. Clinton to be honest. Unless the establishment doesn't run 5 people at once and just combines forces he can probably win the primaries even if he was wheelchair bound and drooling.

Sorry, Bush, not Reagan, mixing up my old presidents.

But that's surprising, interesting to see that poll.
