Quote: In another reply on that thread I based my argument on the fact the Trump is vulnerable in the geography of the electoral college and therefore must believe the polls or at least the Real Clear average of polls which is about all we have to work with right now.
Then I posit we are flying blind. One simply cannot assume that the media run polls will not be as hell bent on distorting the truth. It is hard for me to envision that the same media who brought you moderator Chris Wallace can possibly bear to bring you an honest poll.
Might they be correct about the election? Surely, they might. But the chances that they are wrong are even because those who create the polls simply cannot being themselves to accept any reality other than Trump must be destroyed.
Nonetheless, its a great idea to always campaign like you are twenty down. That is something the Dems never do. Still, you can tell how they truly feel about their chances based on their conduct. That conduct is to focus on a mail on scam. Why scam if you have it in the bag?
As for the debate, Biden May have had the chance to show he was Presidential. Wallace, inadvertently, stepped all over it. IMO the impression that will last was of Wallace debating Trump And that Biden needed a heroic amount of assistance just to be out there.
In short, Trump won but only barely. He edged out Wallace at the end. But why the hell did he ever let Biden moderate the debate?
Did Trump come out of the debate looking more presidential or more like a street brawler?
Did Joe Biden accomplish his mission? Did Donald Trump accomplish his mission?
Did Donald Trump enhance his advantage of incumbency or diminish it?
Respecting gravitas, did Donald Trump diminish the relative standing of Biden or diminish his own standing relative to Biden?
Did Trump win the debate against Chris Wallace? If so, how did it advance his campaign for reelection?
Do any of these questions focus attention to who really won the debate?
