That debate was awful. If it was in some other country and you saw five minutes from it on the news, you'd say, "Thank God that kind of thing doesn't happen in America." I'm sure it gave erections to a lot of folks who've long hated Hillary Clinton and believed every bad accusation against her. Still, I couldn't help but wonder what viewers who aren't already solidly for Trump thought. I would imagine some said, "I don't want to see either of those two people in my government!"
Trump had some better moments than he did in Debate #1 but I think the moments when he looked maniacal probably canceled them out. And of course, the fact-checkers are already busily pointing out statements that are easily disproven, and both sides are claiming that their candidate mopped the floor with his/her opponent.
I may be wrong since I tuned out twice briefly but I think some of the "town hall" questioners actually got to ask questions. Not many but some.
I'm kinda sorry that when Donald promised to appoint a Special Prosecutor to put Hillary behind bars, she didn't say, "Well, Donald. I'll put your mind at ease. If I win, I won't sic any prosecutors on you. I'll let the ones that are already investigating you finish their jobs."
How those who are actually polled (as opposed to flooding bogus online polls) will score this thing, I can only guess. I'd guess Trump will rate higher than last time and might even win a few polls. But he's way behind and he needed more than a small victory tonight. I don't think he got it, especially since he looked childish with that "hate in her heart" line and whining about the moderators. Boy, will I be glad when this thing is over.
