Although I might still be needing a clothespin when I cast my vote next month, I have to admit that I’m super impressed by the Clinton campaign, and the trap it laid for the Donald in the first debate.
It’s dollars to donuts that they have something completely different to bait him in the second debate, and my bet is that he’ll fall for it all over again.
One thing they have going for them is that he’s got so much sleazy stuff in his past (this morning’s Times notes that he took a very suspect one billion dollar loss in 1995) that neither he or his staff can possibly predict what they’ll pick and how they’ll present it. If anything, the town hall forum setting will make it even more difficult for him to respond in a way approaching rationality.
Who knows, I may even bring myself to watching it in real time, rather than waiting to watch the best snippets.
