... Trump needed to solve exactly one problem: Look less scary. Trump needed to counter Clinton’s successful branding of him as having a bad temperament to the point of being dangerous to the country. Trump accomplished exactly that…by…losing the debate.By the way, Adams says he perceived Clinton as "unhealthy," even though she seemed strong and alert through the whole 90 minutes: "She had the look of someone whose doctors had engineered 90 minutes of alertness for her just for the event." Hey... that's a bit like Howard Dean detecting cocaine in Trump's sniffling nose. Everybody's a doctor.
Trump was defensive, and debated poorly at points, but he did not look crazy. And pundits noticed that he intentionally avoided using his strongest attacks regarding Bill Clinton’s scandals. In other words, he showed control. He stayed in the presidential zone under pressure. And in so doing, he solved for his only remaining problem. He looked safer....
And Dean actually is a doctor, a real doctor... doesn't just play one on TV.
For young readers: I'm making a comic reference to something old, but perhaps you will enjoy it:

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 201 of 201Rusty; having now seen the Qunnipiac poll, do you have a better grasp on that "majority" thing?
Did you know about that poll, when you made your comment ridiculing the notion that (as Qunnipiac seemingly proved) as of August, 62% of likely Republican voters felt that Trump should make public his tax returns?
