I'm a lot less concerned about the media affecting that debate performance. 80 million people, over 60% of the number of ballots cast in 2012, watched that train derailment live and no amount of critiquing the wreckage as not being twisted and burnt enough is going to lead any significant number of people to go "hmmm, maybe Trump is a competent locomotive operator after all!"

I'm not especially worries, either. Especially as the closest to an equivocating narrative is 'But was it a DECISIVE victory', not questioning if she won, or even that Trump was awful.

I know the presidential race is predetermined in PA as well but the Senate is wide open - McGinty will be leaning hard on straight ticket Democrats. She doesn't exactly have star power.

Barb Haag of West Chester, a retired teacher of the emotionally disturbed, said Mr. Trump’s interruptions did not bother her. “Kids interrupt you all the time if they have a point to make,” she said.

“His manner of speaking was thorough, to the point; I liked the way he sounded,” said Ms. Haag, 69, who said she was leaning toward voting for Mr. Trump.


Ms. Gray said she still planned to vote for Mr. Trump, however, because of his business success and his support for law enforcement.

He absolutely lies to himself. It's why he was so pissed immediately after the debate when everyone was saying he lost. He didn't seem to calm down until things like the "CBS Poll" appeared and suddenly everyone agreed he was big league winning. It took a while for the world to conform to his reality, and that hour of so of dissonance was torture.

I think he knows he lost because he tried to pull out the "it was a bad mic/headset" excuse just like he did with the David Duke fiasco. It's a way for him to acknowledge the loss without actually owning it.

Well Pence is probably smart enough to not take the bait, but as we saw Trump is physically and mentally incapable of not immediately reaching for any bait with his tiny, grabby hands and swallowing it down hook, line and sucker.

It'd be truly amazing to see each debate end with something of that magnitude. I wonder if people would get outrage fatigue from Khan-grade meltdowns from Trump or if it'd manage to just tank him back down under 40% like during that feud. I really want to see a 6+ point Clinton victory since that could potentially help down ticket and she really needs a Dem Senate at the very least.

It'd be equally amazing to see Trump spend the next debate constantly playing the "look how mean Crooked Hilary is" stuff over and over like a whiny baby.


Those aren't undecided voters. Hell they're probably straight-ticket voters.

Pence seems like a true believer in his horrible positions. Kaine can get Pence to hang himself if he can get the phrasing just right. It's not like Pence is even among the smartest of America's most terrible governors.

I'm for Kaine out-Jesusing Pence to a hilarious degree. I mean Pence looks like the least enjoyable houseguest ever and Tim looks like the guy who'd bring over some of the most bangin' macaroni you'd ever tasted and always shows up with a couple extra bags of ice for the cooler. Nobody ever asks him to bring ice but he's such a good guy he brings it because you know you'll need to ice that cooler later when nobody wants to go to the store. Because that's what Jesus would do.

They never wrote her with good plots tho. There's nothing wrong with the character, but all of her stories, from "her adopted brother has secretly desperately wanted to gently caress her for 15 years" to "her boss admits he only hired her because she's connected to the flash, this results in no changes or character arc for her at all" to "She asks that same boss out on a date, he says no, once again nothing happens because of it" have been terrible
