Glib Libs Say Hillary Won the Debate, Real Americans State Otherwise
The policies Clinton talked about tonight "ultimately either hurt me or ignore me."

Every mainstream media outlet and most of the paid political analysts out there handed last night's debate win to Hillary Clinton. Even pollster Frank Luntz said that his focus group on undecided voters favored Clinton last evening, but so far most informal online polls -- even ones conducted in liberal-leaning outlets like TIME -- show Trump as the clear winner of last night's debate.
What's more, some real life Democrats and undecided voters in Youngtstown Pennsylvania are giving it to Trump, too. A NY Post article titled, "How Trump won over a bar full of undecideds and Democrats," explains:
Ken Reed sat down at the main bar of the Tin Lizzy tavern with two things in mind: to dig into the tavern’s oversize cheese steak, and watch the presidential debate. [...]Letosky entered the evening undecided in a town that is heavily Democratic in registration. Her sister and father are on opposite sides of the political aisle. Donald “Trump had the upper hand this evening,” she said, citing his command of the back-and-forth between him and Hillary Clinton.Reed, 35, is a registered Democrat and small businessman. “By the end of the debate, Clinton never said a thing to persuade me that she had anything to offer me or my family or my community,” he said, sitting at the same bar that has boasted local icons as regulars, such as the late Fred Rogers, and Arnold Palmer, who had his own stash of PM Whiskey hidden behind newer bottles of whiskey for his regular visits.
According to the Post, the people interviewed thought Clinton "came across as either smug or as though she was reading her résumé."
"I am a small businessman, a farmer, come from a long line of farmers and coal miners," Reed said before explaining that the "the policies she talked about tonight ultimately either hurt me or ignore me."
Others said that while Hillary tries to compare herself to her husband Bill, she is "nothing like" him.
While this article is hardly scientific evidence that Trump resonated most with everyday Americans during his debate performance last night, we think it's a good indication that he did. What's more, it provides further proof of the growing divide between what the country's elite think and care about, and what real Americans think and care about.
