Another debate post-mortem

Despite the "brave" insistence of many if not most cable commenters, the public seems to have felt Hillary won last night's debate by a pretty wide margin.  Despite the carefully vetted presence of so-called undecided voters, both the moderators and Trump decided to virtually ignore their questions and focus on the prurient interest of the Donald's sex innuendo tape.  He, in turn took a swipe at Bill Clinton's indiscretions, going so far as holding a press conference attended by most of the women who have called out Clinton for sexually abusing them.  This was the prelude to Trump's scorched earth policy of trying to drag Hillary down to his level.  Unfortunately for him there were some actual questions from the audience he had to answer.  After a few "believe me's", he usually launched into a spate of gibberish instead of any concrete policy statements.  On health care, he is going to replace Obamacare with "unbelievably good" policies, blah, blah, blah.  On the middle east, I doubt he could have identified Syria on an unlabeled map, let alone Aleppo.  Clinton adopted the Pence strategy, namely not engaging on complicated issues like her e-mails and ignoring Trump's attempt to tie Bill's sexual indiscretions to her.  It was ugly, but most of the time she appeared to know she was supposed to respond to the audience questions, unlike the insult comedian.  The CNN poll showed most of the public appreciated that.
