I awoke to find Donald J. Trump making the rounds, yelling insults at a Hispanic woman who once won his stupid Miss Universe pageant. Clever of Hillary Clinton to bring up an issue where Trump's behavior will remind both women and Hispanics why they don't like the man.
Last night, Trump said Lester Holt did a great job as moderator. Today, he and his surrogates are out there saying Holt was hostile and biased. Make up your mind, Donald. Also, he's complaining his microphone was defective. Was there anyone who couldn't hear this guy? I not only heard him every time he was talking, I heard him every time anyone else was talking.
I'm thinking that one of the things that really hurt Trump was his insistence that he never said that Global Warming was a hoax concocted by the Chinese. It was real easy for everyone to find that Tweet where he said exactly that. Sometimes, there's wiggle room where you can say, "Well, I didn't say exactly that." Not this time. His supporters have been able to deny or rationalize a lot of fibs but there's no way around this one.
In the debate, I don't believe an important topic was mentioned and it certainly wasn't discussed. That would be the Supreme Court. Jeffrey Toobin reminds us what's at stake there.
Anyone expecting a massive jump in Hillary's poll numbers will probably be quite disappointed. Numbers don't move that fast anymore. But last night sure changed the dynamic of this election.
