They said Gore cleaned Bush’s clock in their debates, and maybe he did, if you’re scoring points, just like everyone saying Rubio won most of the primary debates on substance.
But in the end, it’s who won the vote.
There’s no question, the debate last night will bring newcomers to the Trump side, and not the Clinton, in fact I look for poll numbers to tumble for her like a rock in a lagoon.
I expect her numbers to stabilize and likely rise a bit in the coming week. She pandered to her base, and that usually works in a limited way. But I also expect Trump's numbers to rise a bit more than hers as the undecideds or previously tagged 3rd party voters settle on the two main candidates.
