Hillary needs a knockout in this election.

Not necessarily this debate, but on election day.

People that are angry at the system, especially Republicans, should look at this election as a way to correct that which is making them angry.

They have a way to take the Leadership of the Senate away from Mitch McConnell, who is one of the biggest reasons people hate the job their government is doing. Since Harry Reid is retiring, even more reason for Republicans to make a change.

We have to work together in a non-partisan way if we are to fix the problems that people perceive with our government. Perception is reality.

Every American citizen should get involved in this election, in my opinion.

Or, at least, unenforced if compulsory.

Right now, I can at least entertain the thought that those who vote now made an 'informed' decision (fallacy that that is in itself.)

If Trump doesn't lose by unprecedented margins, he's will have set the tone for Republican politicians moving forward. He needs to lose so badly, that they never even tease in the Trump direction again.
