as WE're not among those would be 'moved.' Time will tell.

Going out, back to cyber world later.

you would have to be not to have made up your mind by now. I did hear some woman on a call-in show say she watched so she could choose between Trump and Gary. Her words exactly, Gary. I hate it when people call politicians by their first name like they are actually their friends.

I watched ten minutes of this shit fest and my opinion did not change one bit. It is a suckfest and least suck wins.

so my anecdotal experience says differently.

They are fighting over the crumbs now. I doubt any solid Trump supporters had their minds changed.

However, people on the fence or people whose support for Trump was fairly soft might have been swayed. I expect a modest bounce for Hillary maybe moving her outside the margin of error.

Trump is behind. He needs to gain voters, not merely keep what he has.

Have formed opinions.

Social scientists have been studying this for decades, and the results are always the same: debates don't move polls.

Debates definitively move polls.

Romney got a very large bump after the first debate in 2012.

He went from being down by 4.5 on Sep. 29th to being up by 0.7 on October 9th. The first debate was on October 3rd.

Changed his mind after last night and is voting for Hillary!

"republican no matter what" type of voter, but I do think it had an effect on many undecideds and independents. I am on a business trip and people are behaving themselves and not getting too political (my sense is that most of them lean republican - not rabid - but still solidly republican) but a lot of them, especially the women have been saying "I don't really care for Hillary, but I can't stand Trump, so I am voting AGAINST him more than I am voting for her". Or, "It's the lesser of two evils and that would be Hillary".

I'm pleasantly surprised that these people hate him so much. I really didn't expect it.
