She is wonky and he is emotionally sincere.
Politics and Sales are made on emotion especially with undecideds.
Also, notice the audience is clearly stacked with dems.
“She is wonky and he is emotionally sincere.”
That will be the biggest take-away from this debate.
Clinton: phony
Trump: authentic
She’s wonky and rehearsed but uncompelling and unlikable. He’s pretty unpolished tonight. My feeling is it’s basically a draw.
I like his Iraq answer. Now she’s spinning about the SOFA in reply, saying the Iraqis made it impossible when in fact they were signaling behind the scenes that a SOFA was possible. Obama could have gotten a SOFA if he had wanted one. But he didn’t want one for political and ideological reasons.
FR running kind of slow. Hanging when previewing a reply.
Trump responding to her now. Saying the ME is a mess. That’s a strong point because even the LOFOs know that’s true. He’s hanging ISIS around her neck.
Moderator in fact check mode saying Trump was in favor of Iraq. He’s hitting back very effectively.
