Well, we are starting to come closer and closer to not only the debates but the actual elections as well. Trump is getting better and better talking about who, and what, he is going after. This is, hopefully, and he is scaring the hell out of those that pay attention which may, in the long run, be a good thing? In other words he is no longer the fuzzy guy that's fun to watch. He is, obviously, sure of being elected as well so feels he has the voters and he can goto work telling everybody what they are waiting for.
As far as the debates go I think they may make a difference. We will see about that in close to 2 weeks. I really want to see if they actually have control over the microphones (which would be a miracle). Remember too, the hard core folks, who have their minds REALLY made up will also be watching the debates as well. If Trump keeps it up I think there might be a chance to change a couple of minds.
In any case we will all watch the 'debates' with bated breath and have much to talk about the day after.
Oh, My hope is showing, not too much, but a little bit. Apologies.........
