> [@Reyemile](#): > > Holy shit, WHY would he bring up his feud with Rosie? And why is he bragging about the “not nice” things he’s too nice to say? Yeah, that wouldn’t cut it here on the Dope. The moderators here don’t let you insult obliquely like that, and rightly so. ---

I’m relieved. She did well and didn’t let him rattle her. Not surprisingly, he could barely string a sentence together and sounded out of control. ---

There’s no way to convince the hardcore Trump supporters to vote Clinton and there’s no way to convince the hardcore Clinton supports to vote Trump. Overall, I think for undecided voters this is a Clinton win, which is all that matters from her perspective. Trump did actually a little bit better than I thought. I thought he would actually be a lot more explosive.
