If Santos can't turn things around this week, I think Vinnick will win

He did good in the debate, but he didn't get the knockout punch that he needed. Vinnick also did well and held his ground. Vinnick just needed a draw, which he at least got, while Santos needed a decisive win. That did not happen.

Santos sometimes seems a little out of his league in this campaign. He is very talented and sharp, but he is also only 41, which would make him the youngest president in history. He makes a lot of rookie mistakes on the campaign trail and sometimes seems to lack the oompf that is needed to seal the deal with the American people.

Santos now has to not only be perfect for the rest of the campaign, he also needs for Vinnick to be thrown off his element. That could happen. Sometimes he can fly off the handle and shoot his mouth off. If he makes the religious right angry just one more time they may take a walk on election day.
