I’m afraid you Dopers are in the intellectual echo chamber. Trump has another 30 minutes to lose control, but right now I expect his poll numbers to _increase_. > [@galen\_ubal](#): > > Does anyone think Trump is coming across well? > [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Not only is Mrs. Clinton kicking his ass, Mr. Trump is losing terribly. > [@Morgenstern](#): > > Trump is coming across as unprepared and angry. Hillary is factual and composed. 30 minutes in, Hillary ahead, way ahead. You guys are talking as though the undecided voters are sentient and sober. I hope you’re right, but I have a bad feeling. Trump’s rude interruptions win him support — it shows he’s “strong and manly.” ---

> [@JKellyMap](#): > > I like how she said that the phrase “law and order” means little without a plan. She’s poised and clear on implicit bias. But I wish she would mention Trump’s birtherism. (Also, Trump is agreeing with her a lot suddenly). Yay! Birther time! ---
