@georgetakei unfortunately there only seems to have been a tiny impact on the polls following the debate -- and, if anything, a negative one. Perhaps there's a moral about the power of spectacular lies (that there were more viewers who hadn't previously heard the racist "eating pets" BS, and allowed it to influence their judgement, than people who recognised it as racist BS.)

Vlad Vexler ("VV chat", on YT) remains optimistic, despite thinking a Trump win still more likely than not. I want whatever herbal tea he's drinking!
