Donald throwing red meat to male viewers, but it's women that will decide the election

[realmirage]

If you are a male watching the debate and you think Donald is coming off strong and in charge, I can assure you that many women are seeing it completely different. The smug, entitled male strutting around the stage talking down to Hillary.. Trump already has the uneducated male vote. He needs a broader base and that's what Hillary is aiming at here. Don thinks it's a pissing contest to show strength. He doesn't realize what the real strategy to victory should be.

My opinion, trumps base still likes him after this and thinks he showed balls. More women and minorities go for Hillary after this. Trump still stuck at 36% in the polls, Hillary close to 50%.

Also, this debate soon won't be on the radar as more bombs in October are leaked.

1. Besides I'll bet most undecided men are watching the football game.

9. Probably

2. Attacking men isn't helping

Saying women will decide the election isn't helpful. My vote counts, I'm watching the debate and I'm on the Hillary train.

Discounting my role is hurtful.

3. It's not an insult, just a math fact

There are more women than men. That's who trump needs to win over but he's oblivious. Hillary is not.

10. I noticed earlier today your feelings were also hurt over a post not directed at you.

Might I suggest you grow a thicker skin -- as women are often advised to do. Life and politics are not all about you. Really.

6. Agreed

It sure looks over to me. But I will never count those chickens until after election day

5. This spectacle is triggering to anyone who grow up in an abusive household

[realmirage]

7. Totally

I completely agree. Trump comes off like an unstable hothead pacing in his living room wondering if he should get violent

14. I looked much the same while listening to him tonight--

Luckily, the television came through unscathed.

16. : )

8. Yep.

I've never wanted to punch someone so much in my life.

He reminds me of every entitled asshole I've ever had to deal with times TEN.

[realmirage]

11. And Hillary knows that.

Trump is playing chess against a pro

12. I feel bad that she has to share the stage with a clown.

She deserves better.

[realmirage]

13. Yeah but it's a gift in disguise

who better to run against?

[sarae]

17. true!

15. And trashing Obama....

Obama is at 55% approval last I checked. The math on Obama bashing just doesn't work right now. It's just red meat for the base, but does not enlarge his base of support. That is how you know his campaign is in big trouble. I guess they need to staunch the defections, but it is not a good sign for the GOP.

[realmirage]

18. Good observation

Attacking a popular president in a time when the economy is better and saying you're going to change it all? Insane

[realmirage]

19. So here we are, go Hill

50-38
