What's Michael Moore's deal?

Why is he saying Trump won the debate? Reverse psychology or Bernie Bros wishful thinking? Even Trump's surrogates are stopping well short of saying he won:


Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore appeared distressed with Monday night’s debate outcome, declaring Republican nominee Donald Trump the victor to his nearly 3 million Twitter followers.

Moore, who is known for his films criticizing former President George W. Bush and U.S. gun policies, warned Democrats that Trump is well on his way to defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

He just congratulated himself for not

bringing up Bill's infidelities at the debate.

What a pile of shit he is.

His Iraq lie falling apart in front

of 100 million people. Yapping about Sean Hannity.

Someone throw in the towel.

He's talking about war crimes again.

Call him out.

He mentioned that he owns property in Chicago

In a response about inner city violence.

What a nutbar.

If you're explaining you're losing.

Trump is explaining and very defensive.

Pollsters using 2004 demographics...

... are out of their minds. The White share of the electorate was 77% that year. We'll never see a percentage that high again in our lifetimes.


Trump's best case scenario is that it it remains at 2012 levels, bucking a 24 year trend in which the White share has declined an average of 2-3% in every election.

White
1992 - 87%
1996 - 83%
2000 - 81%
2004 - 77%
2008 - 74%
2012 - 72%

African-American:
1992 - 8%
1996 - 10%
2000 - 10%
2004 - 11%
2008 - 13%
2012 - 13%

Hispanic:
1992 - 2%
1996 - 5%
2000 - 7%
2004 - 8%
2008 - 9%
2012 - 11%

Asian:
1992 - 1%
1996 - 1%
2000 - 2%
2004 - 2%
2008 - 2%
2012 - 3%


Trump is underperforming Romney with every demographic (yes, even Whites), so in this scenario he loses badly.

Just a little food for thought.

Trump thought the birth certificate was fake

"A lot of people do not think it was an authentic certificate. ... Many people do not think it was authentic. His mother was not in the hospital. There are many other things that came out. And frankly if you would report it accurately I think you'd probably get better ratings than you're getting." - 2013

Of course he spun it with his usual "many people are saying" bullshit, but Obama producing his birth certificate in no way, shape, or form settled the issue with Trump. Someone should point that out to him.

Clinton will destroy Trump in the debates

It's her best chance to reassert control of this race, and she'll take full advantage.

I say this because Trump's sit down with Matt Lauer was the most pathetic and embarrassing performance I've ever seen from a presidential candidate in my life. It was 30 minutes of comedy no sitcom could even dream of reproducing.

We'd still be talking about it were it not for Hillary's weekend from hell.

Demographic breakdown of CNN polls

Does anyone know? My guess is they're as bad as their national poll from a week ago.
