Second Presidential Debate Thread (at 9pm ET)

[TheLaRocca]

It's no longer a question of "can Trump right the ship". It's a question of "how much more explosive can he make its sinking".

I'm still not confident of that yet. His numbers have marginally improved over the last few days and the Hunter Biden story, however stupid, seems to have stopped any more bleeding from GOP voters. He still has a path although the window is closing fast. If he doesn't score a knockout blow and the 60 Minutes interview is as bad as it sounds, he's likely finished.

He’s been finished since June.

Not even close.

When you’re down 9-10 points, you aren’t winning the election.

I don't think Trump is down 9-10 points.

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

Yeah I'm guessing Biden does average (2012 Biden would WRECK Trump) but Trump completely implodes.

Anyway won't be watching.

I love how there were people on this forum, who follow politics religiously, who somehow still thought Trump would do well tonight.

2016 PTSD.

But even then, he never did well in the debates!

Clinton DEF won them but Trump got across the points he needed. IE on IRAQ, NAFTA, etc. it was a loss but he got across his ideology to the electorate. He also wasint terrible (Clinton was a good debater TBH).

This year its just completely awful.

My worry is that low information swing voters will view this as a draw.  Or maybe even a Trump win.

"my worry is that Trump getting COVID will cause a massive sympathy bump among undecideds. IMO he's ahead in 1 week"
