Michael Stuart Kelly 446 Report post Posted August 7, 2015 It is about a couple of hours after the debate.Frankly I didn't think Trump was at his finest. Not bad but not great either.I saw a lot of pundits do a lot of blah blah blah saying the same thing I felt, but many were really down on Trump.(Frank Luntz was one of the absolute worst--in full manipulation mode. His focus group was unnaturally inactive compared other focus groups he normally runs--kind of like a bunch of paid stooges this time around. The folks were mostly bland and/or silent except when called on to bash Trump. Then they got passionate. )Then, feeling a bit down, I went upstairs to my computer to see Drudge.Woah... Lookee there. Drudge has a poll running.I voted. Then I took a screenshot. (Here's the link, but it probably won't work after tonight or maybe tomorrow owing to the name of the URL.)In fact, I voted twice to see if it was going to be a fair vote, so notice the words, "Thank you, we have already counted your vote" at the top of the screenshot.Even on an off day (at least I felt he was off), people are voting that Trump won the debate.

Anyway, you saved yourself a lot of boredom. I muted most of it. It makes more sense to read the commentary now than watch mostly nothings trying to be somethings. The already somethings were the two medical doctors--Rand's gotta do something with his hair--and Trump, both of whom Trump trumped. Christie--hair problem too--gotta do something about everything. Trump's hair actually works. That's a wonder. If he ever changes it he better wait until after the election or he'll have no chance. Like I said, his hair's a wonder--a wonder and a nice touch of enhancing mystery. You see, that mild expression of vanity humanizes him enough to make the rest go down--so far. Americans yearn for a human in the White House, subconsciously; it's been so long they're a little consciously confused on that, but many remember Kennedy.--Brant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please do not run it through your semantic filter Greg.This was an important issue in the 1960 debates between Nixon and Kennedy.We did a number of rhetorical studies that established that the folks who listened to the 1960 debates on the medium of radio thought that one of the participants was the clear winner.In terms of the arguments offered, what did you both think of the "debate that is a press conference" on the radio?A...
