If you are a male watching the debate and you think Donald is coming off strong and in charge, I can assure you that many women are seeing it completely different. The smug, entitled male strutting around the stage talking down to Hillary.. Trump already has the uneducated male vote. He needs a broader base and that's what Hillary is aiming at here. Don thinks it's a pissing contest to show strength. He doesn't realize what the real strategy to victory should be.
My opinion, trumps base still likes him after this and thinks he showed balls. More women and minorities go for Hillary after this. Trump still stuck at 36% in the polls, Hillary close to 50%.
Also, this debate soon won't be on the radar as more bombs in October are leaked.

(2,550 posts)Saying women will decide the election isn't helpful. My vote counts, I'm watching the debate and I'm on the Hillary train.
Discounting my role is hurtful.

(2,117 posts)There are more women than men. That's who trump needs to win over but he's oblivious. Hillary is not.

(2,117 posts)I completely agree. Trump comes off like an unstable hothead pacing in his living room wondering if he should get violent

(11,243 posts)Obama is at 55% approval last I checked. The math on Obama bashing just doesn't work right now. It's just red meat for the base, but does not enlarge his base of support. That is how you know his campaign is in big trouble. I guess they need to staunch the defections, but it is not a good sign for the GOP.
