Debate notes

I assume this was in the plan, but there was some perfect needling by Clinton that hit Trump at just the wrong time (from my perspective -- hopefully, from everyone's). Basically, encouraging Trump to boast

"Trump's answer on the race issue was completely tone-deaf."

eh...if you're a person of color, or a white liberal, sure. But there's a large portion of the electorate that will eat that shit up with a spoon.

"If I had been Clinton, one wonky thing I would have hit him with is..."

I think it was pretty clear that her advisors instructed her to avoid wonking too hard. The intellectual members of the electorate are already 99% for Clinton. Now she needs to win over those voters who are actually considering voting for Trump (or Johnson or Stein.) We're not talking about a bunch of geniuses here. She's not going to win them over by sounding like their 11th grade history teacher.

I agree about the needling, though. Seemed pretty clear to me that she laid a few traps that he walked into.

Jerry Springer said it best. "Hillary Clinton belongs in the White House. Donald Trump belongs on my show."
