The whole debate fiasco is bizarre, especially from the campaign's stand point. Low debate expectations has been a huge advantage for Trump, yet Conway was entusiastically repeating Newt's claim that Trump's the Babe Ruth of debaters. Insane to raise expectations and then have Trump shit the bed.
Also insane to pretend Trump won based on online polls. If they truly believe they won, what's Trump going to do differently? Mitt kicked Obama's ass in the first debate and Obama readily admitted it after the fact. Got his shit together for the next two debates.
Kaine's been off the trail for a few days, but Pence is still campaigning. Apparently they see no value in doing well at the debates.
Swing state numbers, especially FL, OH, NC, and IA are surprising. Doubted Plouffe on IA, NC, and OH, but the numbers are surprisingly close. HRC has 26K volunteers in IA alone. Despite the alleged silent majority, Trump may not have 26K volunteers nationally. Was at the Panthers game a couple of weeks ago, and there were HRC volunteers Uptown, but none from Trump. Trump's rallies aren't drawing 70K people. Why hold an event in Asheville and blow off a Panthers game?
