The state of the race

The state of the race: Distinctly Catholic: The trajectory of the presidential campaign was not affected by the debate so much as by the videotape of Trump.  MGB: Trump no longer has 40%, due to the unearthing of what was likely bragadoccio.  His authoritarian followers still believe he will be the strong decision-maker they want, even though most of us see that his decision making skills are deeply flawed.  The same cannot be said of Clinton.  While it would have been nice to have Sanders in the race now, fighting for the working class (the middle class are Hillary's people), he first got in as a message candidate and probably stayed that way.  I think Hillary got the message.  We will see when she picks her economic team.  If Larry Summers is on it, we will get more of the same, which would be sad.
