Prediction: This is going to blow up in trumps face......

[getagrip_already]

There is absolutely no demographic that is going to be drawn towards trump, or feel better about him, after this debate.

Sur, his tiny base will be squawking their heads off, but he could have pooh running out over his shoes and he could be drooling, and they would still do that.

But everyone who looks at any part of this, or watches analysis of it anywhere except fox, will be disgusted.

Sure, the trolls will say stupid stuff. But his numbers will not go up.

1. Prediction: it won't change anything.

This race is historically stable. I don't think this is going to change anything. His supporters want him to act like this. The rest of us already know he's nuts.

[soothsayer]

5. Yeah, this

[getagrip_already]

9. and that is what I meant by blowing up in his face....

He desperately needed to move the needle. He didn't. It won't swing anywhere but weaker.

[TwilightZone]

10. Agreed.

This is one of the only chances he has to make a move. This isn't it.

13. Spot on.... his cult will say that he "won" ...

just like they and he keep saying that he "won" in 2016. No matter how much of a troll and a bully Trump is, they will say that he was "strong". Hopefully all of those outside of the cult have finally seen Trump for what he really is by now.

14. Fine with me. We are in a good position

[TwilightZone]

15. Yep.

I'm good with 8-10% leads.

2. I think most will say Trump is a disgrace and this "debate" sealed the deal to vote Joe.

3. This debate will not change many minds since most people have decided for whom they are voting.

[getagrip_already]

8. That's my point - he needed to knock it out of the park....

Make joe look febrile. He needs to move the needle.

All this is going to do is glue it in place. He has no time to recover.

4. Sure hope you're right

Hopefully I’m over reacting to this Trump takeover.

[sprinkleeninow]

6. good. 'it' is such an embarrassment...

[EarlG]

7. Agreed

Trump is coming off as a rude, angry, whining prick, and Joe is keeping his cool and talking directly to the camera. Trump's supporters are going to like this, but as we already know, he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue (or kill 200,000 Americans), and they'd still like him.

But Trump is going to need more than 42% to win the election, and I don't think the way to win over voters who are already sick of his crap is to feed them an even bigger, more steaming plate of crap. Which is what he's delivering tonight. He's basically doing a turbocharged version of everything that everybody already hates about him.

IMO.

11. Trump needed to land some very hard punches on Joe but it looks like he didn't

[UTUSN]

12. Unleashed, egregious - if finally the whole worst self that he is, overwhelms even his zombies

[GemDigger]

16. RVAT (Republican Voters Against Trump) is going to be hot tomorrow.

They were loaded monday and I think tomorrow he will have lost a lot of republicans.
