Scott Adams: Debate Reactions
Dilbert ^ | 10 10 16

Posted on 10/10/2016 2:31:34 AM PDT by Helicondelta

I just watched the debate on replay. Trump won bigly. This one wasn’t close. And keep in mind that I called Clinton the winner of the first debate, and I now endorse Gary Johnson, primarily to avoid being called an alleged enabler of alleged sex abusers and their alleged enablers. That basket of deplorables includes both Bill and Hillary Clinton (the alleged doer and the alleged cleaner-upper) plus Trump and his alleged misdeeds.

Some quick reactions…

1. When the Access Hollywood tape came up, Trump dismissed it as locker room banter that he regrets. You expected that part. The persuasion move was that he quickly contrasted that “small” issue with images of ISIS beheadings, and cage-drownings. It was a high ground maneuver, a powerful visual anchor (like the Rosie O’Donnell move from his first primary debate), and a contrast play. In this framing, Trump cares about saving your life while Clinton cares about your choice of words. I realize the issue is Trump’s alleged deeds, not his words. But in terms of debate persuasion, Trump nailed it hard.

2. Clinton’s body language was defensive. Trump is physically larger and prowled the stage. He won the optics. It only got worse when a fly landed on Clinton’s face

“but it seemed to me about a third in the mods smelled the blood in the water and turned...”

Yes, saw the same thing. Just my imagination running away with me?

Trump won it all yet this morning CNN says the enabler won with 100%

I nearly gagged when I hit this insane declaration

**” Michelle Obama, who’s become known as a style icon”.**

Yah.
Right.
And I’ll be on the cover of Cosmo, next week.

She looks like a frump, regardless.

I will say, however, that she is packed into some serious ‘shapewear’.

If I had to guess, I’d bet on the Vedette super-firm control line.

You are not allowed to question anyone’s judgment. Yes, early this morning DH watching tee vee in the other room said CNN poll showed her winning by 100%. Assumed it was seen on CNN. Can only assume the Grimms brothers had been writing their script. :-)

You refer to Martha Radatz as a “blonde hag”. She should be so lucky. She looks like somebody hit her in the face with a shovel. She has a radio face. NPR at best.

At points it was clear to everyone Trump was debating the Moderators and he called them on it in real time. THAT is how it is done. He prodded them repeatedly. He SHAMED them. And THAT is going to leave a mark.

That was a huge move that he really didn't do in the first debate. He watched the time and when HIllarys time was up he let them know. And when they let her go over he forced them to admit it. Any impartial person tuning in would see that the moderators were NOT being neutral. So many good moments but he took the "moderators" out of the debate for the most part.

In another thread, someone posted a picture of her from the debate, and someone else commented “David Lee Roth has aged really poorly.”

Doh!
