Hillary's performance may have gone over well with the egghead, inside the beltway crowd. But I don't think it didn't played very well in Peoria. I “forced” a nonpolitical cousin to watch the debate last night (he wanted to watch football). He literally knows nothing about politics or the campaign other than “the guy from Celebrity Apprentice” and “Bill Clinton's old lady” are the candidates. His comments about 1/2 hour in about Hillary, “She sure is a smug, know-it-all b—ch, isn't she? Reminds me of my ex-wife....” and about Trump, “He makes sense, really down to earth for a politician...”

Lol! I wonder if the political class is aware of the-guys-with-ex-wives demographic?

You’re story is very telling. We all knew if she actually was able to stand the MSM would declare it a crushing Hillary victory. On how polished she was, what a command of the issues she has, how Donald was a broad stroking uninformed buffoon. What the MSM misses and why her debate performance was a big plate of fail was she made absolutely no dent in the perception she nothing more than a polished, slick, lying, scumbag politician. Donald won on points last night. I watched the debate and have since I saw Carter\Reagan in 1980 and was on my HS debate team....DT won, period. Sorry MSM you lost the academic argument also.

That is a great anecdote. I hope there are millions reacting like your nonpolitical cousin.

The anti-politician aspects of this election are enormous - and fascinating.

Reminds me of my ex-wife....”

That is the comment I have been looking for. That is why men will stay away in droves.
