A Rock and a Hard Place
Joe Klein published the best report on the Second Presidential Debate. There’s not much to add.
Hillary was Hillary. No surprises there.
More than a few folks thought Trump might disintegrate but he didn’t – so, as they say in politics, he ‘exceeded expectations.’
The result wasn’t exactly a resounding victory for Trump but he did achieve one goal: After being pummeled as the lewdest rascal anyone has laid eyes on in years, and with Republican Senators and Congressmen ‘un-endorsing him,’ Trump reassured the Republican ‘base.’ And, so, lived to fight another day.
But while surviving is a good reason for breathing a sigh of relief, it isn’t winning. After the ‘lewd’ videotape of Trump talking with Billy Bush hit the airwaves, the Wall Street Journal published a poll that showed Hillary rolling to an 11-point lead.
In the meantime, the rest of us are still caught between a rock and a hard place – with the squeeze getting tighter.
