Absolutely right. I am focussed on winning. And the consensus was that Kaine lost the debate.
Now, you may or may not be correct that the Clinton team was not focussed on winning the debate, but rather trying to coax out choice sound bites to use for future ads, even if it was the expense of their candidate looking as if he was in control. But you are such an outlier that you will engage in your usual bob and weave, pretzel this way and that to try to prove some point. Oh, and something about "very, very very clever strategies". They often don't turn out to be very clever. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : This is too subtle, it seems, for some folks here to grasp. They're fixated on "winning" and "losing" as if the debate were a football game. Kaine did just what he was supposed to do, and did it superbly: throw one Trump stupidity after another at Pence, leaving him no options but to falsely deny them or simply avoid defending them. All captured on tape to be used as the basis for Clinton ads, along with clips documenting the stupidities Pence was unable to engage with. Very, very clever strategy. Her campaign can count on Trump cooperating because he's so vulnerable to being manipulated. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : (snip) as we now all know in the aftermath, much of the way the debate played out was totally planned by the Clinton campaign as a way to capture sound and video clips for their expose spot afterwards to highlight the lies Pence was spewing the entire time.
