There is absolutely no demographic that is going to be drawn towards trump, or feel better about him, after this debate.
Sur, his tiny base will be squawking their heads off, but he could have pooh running out over his shoes and he could be drooling, and they would still do that.
But everyone who looks at any part of this, or watches analysis of it anywhere except fox, will be disgusted.
Sure, the trolls will say stupid stuff. But his numbers will not go up.

(25,512 posts)This is one of the only chances he has to make a move. This isn't it.

(114 posts)just like they and he keep saying that he "won" in 2016. No matter how much of a troll and a bully Trump is, they will say that he was "strong". Hopefully all of those outside of the cult have finally seen Trump for what he really is by now.

(14,934 posts)Make joe look febrile. He needs to move the needle.
All this is going to do is glue it in place. He has no time to recover.

(21,985 posts)Trump is coming off as a rude, angry, whining prick, and Joe is keeping his cool and talking directly to the camera. Trump's supporters are going to like this, but as we already know, he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue (or kill 200,000 Americans), and they'd still like him.
But Trump is going to need more than 42% to win the election, and I don't think the way to win over voters who are already sick of his crap is to feed them an even bigger, more steaming plate of crap. Which is what he's delivering tonight. He's basically doing a turbocharged version of everything that everybody already hates about him.
IMO.
