us presidential debate round 1, page-12

Nothing less than a clear win to Clinton will be good enough to stop the rot.

A month or so ago she stated that she will "run down the clock", assuming, I suppose, that she will allow Trump to dig his own grave while she slept at home. Well that hasn't worked, every week brings news of Trump getting ahead in another state and even a state by state count of college votes shows that her lead is evaporating.

Trouble is that Plan B, coming out and being heard, is even worse. You get the recent fiasco where she had a few [vetted?] followers in the room with her and everyone else in an "overflow" room where they watched on TV. To cap it off she gave the greatest Born To Rule speech ever - Why aren't I 50 points ahead?????

I think she will survive the 90 mins but it's another thing entirely to expect her to be on top of her game for that time.
