She buried the bastard and now it's a rewind and she has to do it again. Bullshit.

(11,605 posts)He had been president for almost 4 years. People knew him already. A bad debate performance wasn't as devastating because people didn't have to imagine him as president, which is one of the tests a challenger has to pass in a debate. Ditto for George W. Bush in 2004.
I think a poor first debate performance hurts a challenger, especially Trump, more because for many voters it is the first test of whether he seems presidential. Clearly he failed that test, and I think that will hurt him more than it hurt Obama in2012.

Hillary the smart and capable versus discombobulating Donald.
It will be a really easy choice for many folks.

A hundred million watched Trump shit the bed.
