Hillary let Trump stay alive, so now the GOP is stuck with him

[awake]

After tonight he is staying in. The cliton's always play the long game. If she knock him out he might have been done. She looked Presidential ! Trump came off as an anger old guy.

1. He was always going to stay in.

2. Ya but the GOP is now in a tighter bind.

3. Trump was never going to leave

What he did tonight was freak out every woman in America. His constant stalking of Sec. Clinton - made worse by the optics of the camera looks like every ad for self protection devices I have ever seen.

4. I too thought she went soft on him

She went into rehearsed lines instead of thrashing him up one side and down the other. I guess it was best she kept her cool.

7. She went high and let him go low

11. I think she wants him to stay in

Easier to win than others...

14. At this point, why wouldn't she want him to stay in?

And there are more tapes out there.

12. If she'd thrashed him, they'd have all called her the "b word". n/t.

5. I had the same thought

She knows what she's doing

6. Interesting point... nt

8. Van Jones is saying that right now on MSNBC

10. CNN

Not MSNBC

13. Oops - I keep flipping from one to the other.

[oberliner]

9. Van Jones just said exactly this on CNN

Interesting idea.

17. "Van Jones: Trump did well enough that he won't be replaced and "will bleed out."

15. What else did you expect?

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a lot of things but stupid is not one of them. She knows very well that it's better for her if Trump stays in and his performance tonight ensured that the republicans can't really call for his head anymore

16. She did great! Tons of facts, but no knock out blow...she knows that he's totally beatable.

Why risk getting someone else in with no time to vet?
