| Trump may think he won the debate Monday night (please, somebody, just tell him he won) – but his advisers thought he botched it, the New York Times reports, citing unnamed sources. | |
| The Times story describes a “delicate” dance behind the scenes on the Trump campaign to try to prepare the candidate for round 2: | |
| A delicate approach to the candidate is now in the works. Before his advisers can shape Mr. Trump’s performance for the next debate, on Oct. 9 in St. Louis — which, contrary to speculation, he does plan to attend, a top aide said — they need to convince him that he can do better than he did in the first one and that only a disciplined, strategic attack can damage Mrs. Clinton with voters. Advisers said that Mr. Trump had been prepped to handle Mrs. Clinton’s attacks on Monday but did not effectively execute responses to them. | |

| Two days later, Trump is still tweeting about #winning the debate. Will somebody please tell him that he won so we can move on? | |
| Trump cites online reader surveys, which are meaningless, because the pool of participants, who may vote multiple times and include robots, reflects not the American electorate but any given site’s readership at that moment, plus robots. | |
| Every on-line poll, Time Magazine, Drudge etc., has me winning the debate. Thank you to Fox & Friends for so reporting! | |
| If you’d like to read more about how junky the kinds of online surveys Trump cites are, we recommend this piece by the Washington Post’s Philip Bump. Bump points out that you can still vote in a Drudge Report poll: | |
| There were also a lot of garbage polls conducted after the debate. There was the poll at the Drudge Report, a survey that you can take right now, if you wish. | |
| It’s interesting that Trump secured only 80% victory in the Drudge survey. Usually Drudge clickers give Trump Kim Jong Un-level numbers, as opposed to mere Vladimir Putin numbers. | |

| Clinton has scooped up two new – and, in any other year, unusual – endorsements. One is from a popular Virginia Republican, retired senator John Warner, who was not only secretary of the navy once but also was married to Elizabeth Taylor. The second endorsement is from the Arizona Republic newspaper, which has not endorsed a Democrat since publication began in 1890. “The 2016 Republican candidate is not conservative and he is not qualified,” the paper says. | Clinton has scooped up two new – and, in any other year, unusual – endorsements.
