Second Debate Not a Game Changer

To many of the commentator’s surprise Donald Trump behaved like a mensch. That made the debate rather boring.

Trump needed to impress viewers that he has done an excellent job in his first four years and deserves another term. He did not make the case.

The two issues that are front and center for most Americans are COVID-19 and health care.

1) Trump repeated what he has said at his rallies that the disease would go away and added that we will have a vaccine by the end of the year (scientists in the know say a vaccine won’t be available until late in 2021 at the earliest).

2) Trump has a health plan that is far better than Obamacare (that plan has been promised ever since Trump was inaugurated in January 20, 2017).

Joe Biden has not made an overwhelming case for his election. Donald Trump has not delivered protection against the virus nor presented a new health plan.

This election is not a choice. It is a referendum on Donald Trump. Trump knows that fact.

Red states are likely to remain red and blue states remain blue. If Trump can win all the states he won in 2016 he will be in office for another term. However, if polls are to be believed Trump will not be inaugurated on January 20, 2020 for second term. Just remember that almost all the polls predicted Hillary Clinton would win four years ago.
