He doesn't throw up and because he has cleared the extremely low bar he was given, he will be declared the winner.

Most people don't watch the debate and just get their opinion of it from the press the next day so what actually happens during it doesn't really matter

A lot of people are going to watch this live. And if it were true that everyone just deferred to the media narrative with these things than how come it was nationally recognized that Trump's RNC speech was so bad and the entire DNC was propelled Hillary's numbers into orbit?

Yes, her crushing, almost-400-electoral-vote lead.

Here's a map of the states a party has won for the last five election cycles in a row. Republicans require just short of a landslide just to squeak out a win. Trump can't achieve results like that.


Iowa might go red but it's just as likely that Georgia goes blue. Everything else on that map is absolutely solid.

McConnell would say "the people have said for us to not confirm" and 43% of the electorate will still vote R.

That means 57% didn't vote Republican which would probably mean that Hillary won 45 states.

I honestly wonder what I would do if I was in this position. Say I'm sitting in a restaurant eating lunch and suddenly Donald loving Trump walks in with his contingents of handlers, security, and media people. Would I have the courage to speak up and call him a disgusting racist to his face or would I just look down and pretend he wasn't there.

Though she's warmed up to the press a bit, and is willing to answer questions on the plane on the way to stops. This should take some of the heat off her, hopefully.

Going back to favorability polling: an indicator of who's going to win will be Obama's approval numbers heading into November. A significant amount of the electorate view her as Obama's third term, so if things are looking up for him, it'll give her an edge.

Obama has had his highest favorability ratings since 2011 for about 3 months now so I think things are good on that front.
