Yes, as I posted in the course of the debate, I thought Trump did well on the environment issues. Indeed, I think he did much better in the second half.
I completely agree with that. I think Biden had more of an upper hand at the outset, but as the night wore on, Trump seemed to sharpen his messaging and gained energy, while Biden weakened considerably, mentally and physically.
For example, a new article appears on the thread with this headline, CNN poll: Biden wins final presidential debate. Fox is confident that the contrary is the fact.
The question is who is persuaded by these post debate shows? Those of us who appear here on Free Republic are certainly not going to change our impressions of what we saw in real time by being exposed to solemnly expressed conclusions of TV personalities. But what about the great uncommitted, undecideds? Perhaps they can be told what to think, after all the bulk of these people don't watch Fox but the conventional media where every day they are told what to think. Another bunch sees the world through the lens of social media and we all know where that leads.
Tens of millions of people watched the debate last night so if a conservative candidate wants to, or needs to, change minds or even convince voters, his best chance is during the debate, not on the Fox post-debate shows. The undecideds are mostly watching conventional media.
For the record, I think the debate was largely a draw, early going to Biden later going to Trump but a missed opportunity to utterly destroy Biden. Nevertheless, I think the momentum is with Trump and he should go on to win.
