Nothing changed. Trump spoke English, as he sometimes does, and did a reasonable job of hitting his marks. And that’s all it was—his marks. His relative fluency will make for horse race-type speculation but he only repeated what he’s done for six months and more.
Biden was sharper than the town hall, and as I said, did a good job of knowing when to talk to the camera for brass tacks: “You’re poor, you’re sick, I’m here for you.” It sounds simplistic but he was for the popular things and spoke of them in reasonable detail.
Trump sneering at Biden when he talked of the kitchen table will come back again.
Besides the issue with Trump’s own family, addressed earlier, the problem with the Hunter Biden thing is it isn’t the Mrs. Clinton thing, which was easy to understand. The air went dead when he discussed it. It was boring.
