A couple of key points:
1. Trump did not really go after Hillary for her personal failings, but she went after him. Given that everyone knows he can be brutal on people opposed to him he demonstrated a great deal of forbearance and Hillary just came off as vindictive - the thing we all fear about Hillary.
2. Trump stayed away from the email issue. You can bet she had a very very polished rehearsed answer for that whole thing. It would have been the thing she practiced most. Never came up. And so everyone is bringing it up where she cannot respond. It’s the art of elegance actually - leaving unsaid that which need not be said.
‘Trump stayed away from the email issue.’
No he didn’t. He nailed her on the email issue — seveal people taking the fifth. “Shame on you, Hillary. Shame on you.”
Did you have any commercial breaks? I heard the debate on the radio uninterrupted.
