Debate Night!
-
I haven't heard much talk about this but I think Trump made a huge appeal to disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters in the debate. Even if he cannot get them on board to vote for him maybe he can get them upset enough with the shenanigans of Debbie Wasserman Schultze and the DNC where they will either stay home or vote for a third party candidate like Johnson?
-
Clinton had a bad night, no other way to spin it.
"When you go low we go high" is a nice memorized line that they reported she'd use before the debate, but she couldn't answer any of the questions ( c )riticizing her.

Lol, "scientific" polls and 538. Clearly biased article. In reality people loved the Trump special prosecutor idea, people want Washington held accountable.
Trump scored big by redirecting the debate to talk about actions instead of words. Hildebeast had to lie about supporting changes to the tax code. Hildebeast also tried to lie again about starting the birther movement.

I agree. Anything that doesn't show glowing support of Trump is a biased, MSM, liberal elitist article. ....
"People" loved it, sure. But probably not enough of them to win an election

CNN was caught coaching their focus group, I think there's some bias there.
Trump won, he's the one you remember. He had a great recovery.

Being the "one you remember" isn't necessarily a good thing.
The 538 article made a good point. Trump's expectations were much, much lower going into this debate. He probably exceeded, so he did a good job. That doesn't mean he won though.

I liked when Trump destroyed Clinton here
When asked on her statement about having a public/private position on policy she said it's like Abe Lincoln and the 13th amendment.
Then went on to talk about wikileaks and the Russian boogeyman
But Trump destroyed her in response, also Hillary validated the authenticity of the podesta emails - not that there was any doubt (podesta himself suggested they were fake)
-
I like when he said he'd answer the phone at 3am when Benghazi 2 happens because he's already up shit posting and tweeting about sex tapes at 3am now.
I remembered that line, so I guess Trump won. Right?

Sounds good to me, and the tweet was about Machado's criminal past not just a sex tape.
Clinton did nothing except bring out the Russian boogeyman and dodged questions, don't see how she won.
-
Oh, right. He said all of those other things in his tweets at 3am. Not just the sex tape part.
If it was just the sex tape it wouldn't be very presidential, but all of that other stuff saved it...

higgardly's "you go low, we go high" is laughable, even to inner city life long dems.
Seriously, look at the low blow commercials that are all out on the tv. Trump didn't "go low"
in the first debate - SHE DID. hahahaha.
that's so funny.
anyways, Trump got his important message out about different subjects, and put her on the defensive is
a very serious way, and she completely fumbled it. Trump has made an ass of himself in the past, etc.
But higgardly IS always an ass, and made an ass of herself in this second debate. Why? Her famous nervous
clown grin is worse than fake - honest observers surely notice it's a knee jerk reaction and wonder "what's wrong with her
with all the smiling at every tough question, every tough statement. what was funny there?"
I really wanted Benghazi and the four dead Americans being brought up. crap. Why cant the mods ask her that
question? Like "higgardly, you said nobody died in libya, yet 4 Americans did, you publicly blamed it on a video, but now we
find out you said behind the scenes you said it was terrorism, then in front of Congress you said "at this point, what difference
does it make?". Higgardly, when Americans die overseas, why do you think it makes no difference?"
Anyways, Trump started off slowly, and as higgardly kept stepping in it, he started putting higgardly deservedly on
the defensive, and she fumbled the ball and crapped on every question put to her.
She didn't even try to justify her deletion of all those emails. She was toast at this debate.
BTW, I think it's dumb to quibble over biased opinion polls that show Trump won signiicantly, and then
back up that assertion about biased polls by bringing in CNN polls. That's just so shockingly silly it's laughable.

... the population is "debate watchers"
more Dems watch debates than Reps
so more Dems ended up being polled
Groundbreaking stuff here.

Fivethirtyeight literally runs 20,000 simulations to remove bias from their decision making in forecasting models. I doubt you can even count that high yet alone understand what that stands for in predictive analytics.
The funny part is (and the thing you can't get through your thick skull) is that I'm looking through this with no feelings whatsoever. You won't find a single post where I support Hilldawg because I don't. But you also gotta realize what every reliable poll we have is saying, and that's the fact that the Donald ship is sinking. It's not sunk, but that performance last night sure as shit didn't patch the hole either. If it was the other way around, I'd be saying it was suggesting that-but it's just not.

I'd say the general consensus is that Trump destroyed the bitch.

You're saying negative things about Trump
YOU LOVE HILLARY! That's the only way this works!

Christopher R Barron: ‘Trump succeeded in recapturing the momentum’
After a poor first debate performance – and the Friday release of the Access Hollywood tape – Republican nominee Donald Trump needed to hit a home run Sunday night to change the narrative and recapture the momentum.
Trump succeeded, and he succeeded before the first question was even asked.
Trump’s pre-debate press event with four women who have accused both Clintons of wrongdoing changed the conversation from what Donald Trump said in 2005 to what Bill and Hillary Clinton actually did.
Bill Clinton accusers support TrumpPlay VideoPlayCurrent Time0:00/Duration Time1:52FullscreenLoaded: 0%Progress: 0%MuteIt is clear that Trump’s pre-game press conference not only got talking heads to change the conversation, but it got Hillary Clinton – once believed to be unflappable – off her game, in a big way.
AdvertisementIf Clinton was prepared for whatever Trump threw at her, it certainly didn’t come across in this debate.
Gone was the happy warrior from the last debate; in its place was a new defensive Hillary Clinton.
Trump kept Clinton on her heels for the entire debate. Whether sparring over Obamacare or foreign policy or tax reform or job creation, he effectively kept hammering her on her 30-year record.
Instead of a debate that was focused on Trump’s vulgar comments, the debate was focused on policy issues, and despite all of Clinton’s “preparation” when it came to the nuts and bolts of policy, Trump managed to not only go toe-to-toe with Clinton, he often got the best of her.
Trump needed to win tonight to stay alive. Clinton did not. Trump won, and he lives to fight another day. This race is far from over.

Nate silver's model assured me that Trump would never get the nomination even after he basically clinched it

If this stuff interests you, he wrote a really good piece on how he got that wrong. I was fascinated-
