    people see what they want to see.....
    Agreed. One of my Facebook friends who haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaates HRC and looooooooooooves tD thinks he did great and all she did was lie. Um, really? If the bar is set that he did great because he didn't implode or resort to name calling, etc., that's pretty sad.

        The answer is obvious. But that's not how the vast majority of the country watches these debates.

        To Ivy League graduates, to doctors, to lawyers, to engineers, to people who love debating, I have no doubt that HRC came across as brilliant. But, as difficult as it may be for you, pretend like you have a 10th grade education and you're working at an ethanol plant in the midwest or as a coal miner in West Virginia. How'd she come across then? I'm curious, because like I said, I didn't see the debate. But from what I've seen of her, I doubt that she came across that likable or warm. Why do you think there are so many lawyer jokes, out of affection?
        After the debate Dr. Mrs. asked me who I thought won the debate for the majority of viewers. I said I don't know, I can't see the debate the way they see it. Nor do I think there's some monolithic "people of the land" mindset out there -- I assume all those people whose heads I have trouble crawling inside fracture into many, many subgroups who all see things differently not just from the Academic Conveyor Belt but also from each other. Why would a Maine fisherman and a Wyoming rancher have anymore the same mindset as a San Diego attorney and a Bethesda surgeon? Yes, there are probably shared values that derive from similar economic position -- the working class tends to fall for the "I come from humble roots" schtick, while the smirking* class falls for the "talk less, think more" affect. But where you stand depends on where you sit and workers have as diverse personal interests as the managerial strata.

        So I can't see the same debate most of the country sees, and so I can't really answer your question about how Hillary comes across to someone with a completely different life experience and mindset. All I know is that there are times when she comes across as insincere and lawyerly to me, and that can't be good.


        * I like the working class / smirking class phonics, but I hope everybody realizes that everybody smirks. Look at how Flag and others use "Ivy League" as an insult. Oppositional identity formation isn't just for people who know the term. The gold key that unlocks the pleasure/anger center in all monkey brains is "us vs them."

            The Time poll is currently 55/45 Trump, with over 1.5 million votes cast. Even allowing for FreshBots and other tricks, it only goes to show what we assumed.

              You're now relying on internet polls to justify bedwetting? Geesh Kep, what would you be like if Trump had actually won the debate?

                    For you and his followers yes. For the rest you are sadly mistaken.

                    And before you cite the Time poll...do you judge the movies based on how they rate on IMDB?

                        Don't need the Time poll. I'll wait for the real polls to come out.
