Hence the first sentence.

I agree with you more than my post let on...I was piggybacking off it to make a different point.

A few thoughts:

I'm amazed at how far down Trump has brought politics in this country. I was thinking back to the debates 4 years ago and while contentious they were about policy. With Trump its about nonsense.

On what planet did Trump win a debate because he didn't pick up a chair and wing it at somebody? He looked like an unhinged jack ***, which is what he is. A big part of debates is, can you picture this person as President. Who after 2 debates can truly picture Trump in the WH? His debate performance was about getting adulation from alt-right websites.

For Hillary, I sense a tactical decision not to get into a back and forth with Trump as she did leave some put downs on the table. I'd say this happened for several reason. One is she's playing with a lead here, so do no harm, and the second is I'll bet they have more nasty stories ginned up for him this week.

Your last line was what I hypothesized too. She didnt want to risk getting caught saying something he could use against her and she knows more is coming so just let him hang himself looking like a loon. She is right too, think about it the only positives being said are that he won because he tied. He gets moral victories...well moral victories may make you feel better but they dont get you to the playoffs

You can tell there was certain topics the GOP got Donald to walk back a bit from...especially the Muslim ban. Problem is he made it too obvious EXTREME VETTING is the same thing. Add in his non-apology about the crap he said (plus the guarantee of more coming) and he is still in too deep.

Just heard one of the leading Minnesota Republicans on the radio. He was giddy over last nights performance. Watched Morning Joe. Trump has basically gotten back almost everyone he lost over the weekend.

Trump laid out the red meat for his party. Hillary BLEW the Supreme Court question. The most important question she got. Trump dictated the pace, had Hillary on the defensive, and was in command of the entire production last night.

Debate wise over all it may be a draw. BUT. Style over substance. We said it over and over and over again. Style over substance is why Hillary didn't clean his clock in debate #1 and style over substance is why Trump comes out the winner of this all important debate number two. She let him get control from the beginning. He dictated the pace. He whined about the moderators (time comparison I heard had him with more overall) and he laid out all the red meat for his 42% to enjoy. Portman lost no ground last night.

All in all probably a wash. But, a wash at this point doesn't cut it. A wash is him in striking distance. The next October surprise could be hers.
