2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTrump Goes Hard Right
Politico: Trump, who has effectively squandered his chance of becoming president due to a bumbling, gaffe-marred two-week interim between the first debate and Sundays showdown in St. Louis, was the aggressor for much of the debate. But his marginally successful attacks over Obamacare and Clintons email controversy were aimed mainly at his own base, as were his hot-tempered hyperbole and gruff stage presencehe actually seemed to stalk Clinton, standing behind her, scowling as she answered questions posed by undecided voters in a town hall-style setting.That Trump is still appealing to an angry conservative base at this late stage of the election may be the most glaring indication of the hard ceiling on his overall support and, as a result, where this race stands.
