How Trump won over a bar full of undecideds and Democrats
NY Post ^ | September 26, 2016 | Salena Zito

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa. – Ken Reed sat down at main bar of the Tin Lizzy tavern with two things in mind, to dig into the tavern’s oversized cheese steak and watch the presidential debate.

“I am hungry and undecided in that order,” he said digging into the savory dish in a bar that dates back to 1746.

Kady Letoksy, a paralegal by day, a waitress and bartender at night at the Tin Lizzy sat beside him, at 28 she has never voted before, she is now thinking it might be a good idea.

Letosky entered the evening undecided in a town that is heavily Democratic in registration, her Dad she says is ‘extremely liberal’ her sister the opposite. “Trump had the upper-hand this evening,” she said, citing his command of the back-and-forth between her and Clinton.

No.

I mean that the whole generic lefty mod stepping in so nakedly was too early.

In the 3rd debate, you can do that and get away with it plausibly. In the first, you now leave the other side with plenty of time to adapt.

The poll showed that Trump won leadership, won on being President and most importantly - won on caring about people like me.

They won Obama the 2012 election. And they’ve secured the 2016 election for Donald Trump.

Its truly over.

So he spared her feelings and held back? At what cost? There's much too much at stake. He needs to unload.. one simple question would have taken him off the defensive and on offense... "everyone knows how we made our money... you were a politician your whole life, how did you amass $250 million?

Having said that, this is a fine, encouraging anecdotal piece. Thanks for posting

To your point about watching the future debates:

My 24 year old son remarked to me over the phone pre-debate:

“Heck no I am not going to watch the debate...that is so last generation.”

Someone on the other thread which is locked, said, “kudos to her doctor for getting her through the debate”...so my creative juices are flowing.

I’d love to see a cartoon started about “Illery” or “Hitlery” where she achieves the dictatorship she desired, but is instead on the Island of Dr. Bardack, akin to Moreau, where Illery is the monster who the doctor has to control. Lots of failed health policies, taxation, etc. It would be a fun comic book series...

>>> Holt’s display in this debate was too early, and too heavy, and would have been better in #3.

(Not defending Holt, mind you, B U T .....) Holt doesn't have any other choice.

Hillary needed to come out appearing victorious desperately, and the post-debate paid pundits all gave it to her. If HRC seemed to be losing badly, she'll never recover from it, no matter how much ginned up rah-rah-ing from the msm. Too many people and too much at stake for the Dems.

From that point, HRC ‘won’ the first round. She did not receive the fatal KO punch. So we will get new rounds of push polls to show Hillary ahead (2 to 5 points) for another few weeks.

Until some unforeseen event(s)......

yes this is what Hillary admitted Tax and spend and more regulations , taking away guns,more bad trade deals TPP after NAFTA(Worst ever from Clinton).

What she didn't admit and they didn't touch on is that she is planning executive amnesty for all illegals, open borders, more Muslim immigrants and socialism .See my profile for more info as my tagline suggest or see this :

Hillary promised executive amnesty to 40 million illegals
in first 100 days. This proves Hillary is 1 million times worse than Obama.

And Hillary plans to dissolve the U.S. border first 100 days:

[He let her get away with portraying him as a nasty, sexist at the end of the Debate.]

TRUMP won the debate after the debate...
He was his own spin meister.

This country is fed up with the status quo, both Dems and Repubs alike.

Black people aren’t going to stand in line for Hillary, she’s too phony.

How anyone can be undecided at this point is truly amazing. But then again, most of these undecided folks can’t pick the VP out of a lineup. What gets me are the older folks that still seem to be undecided and somehow need convincing from people like Herman Cain and Hannity.

How in the f*ck can anyone not know the difference by now and determine what side they’re on.

Clinton....will destroy this country, once and for all, with taxes, immigrants, muslims, greed and cronyism

Trump...actually gives a shit about this country and will do the exact opposite of Clinton.

I don’t understand how the choice isn’t that clear.

Trump needs to smack her down when she says his tax plan only helps his rich friends. This from the grifter who took hundreds of millions from special interests who bought access to our government. Hillary is the poster skank for the double standards in America. Rich liberal politician like the Clinton's don't have to follow the laws.

I read the article.

I will never understand these "undecidedes."

How in the hell can a 35 year old man, in an election year, be "undecided" 6 weeks out from the Presidential election.

We've become a nation of unserious people.
