He emphasized that she is politics as usual— he did not attack her personally because he was showing a good temperment. He clearly won..
Didn't watch but if he did this then it is a significant point. I always mention it when asked which way I'm leaning. Hillary is the past, the business-as-usual inside-the-beltway insider and dirty dealing politician.
If Trump didn't KO her then I would not be worried too much. In this kind of contest you don't want to shoot your wad and leave nothing for the next rounds. Trump does need to get more TV messages out. Hillary is killing us with those in my area. I know Trump can out-energize Hillary on the campaign trail and draw big, enthusiastic rallies, but she will reach x100 more with a well-planned series of TV ads. That will make a big difference to the LIVs who are not inclined to venture beyond their TV screen and kitchen tables to write out an absentee ballot.
