This is unreal.

For an analogy:

HRC is like a solid, highly-driven Olympian. In her performance on the world stage, she loses marks due to some errors that were few but significant. This causes her to win the bronze instead of the gold, something she can never live down in the eyes of a lot of Americans.

Drumpf, by comparison, is like a kid who won a participation award in middle-school T-Ball.

And some talking heads think he won tonight? What the actual fuck???

But how ANYONE could praise his performance tonight (not just spend their time bashing HRC) is beyond my comprehension.

How can Trump be so close to HRC in the polls? Are there really that many seriously judgment-impaired voters?
What is the proportion of minority groups in the polls? Do almost half the women really suppprt Trump?

Do his supporters truly not see his many lies? Do they not care? Why don't they care?
I just do not believe the polls and I hope the actual votes will show the polls were way wrong, as I believe. And I do believe in large sample statistics.
But there is something weird about these polls.

She was brilliant, and thorough.

He was a buffoon.

There is no doubt who was qualified to be commander-in-chief tonight.
