Ahhh, the good old coughing machine. I remember reading about Horace Daltburger creating that back in the 20s.

Her emergency hotline if the debate went south and she had to activate The Winter Soldier.

I distrust online polls, but at least they conduct their poll at random which is important to avoid self-selection bias and hackers/bots and spamming/sockpuppetting.

An awful lot of the online polls are really not reliable, places like 4Chan and r/The_Donald were actively organising people to spam those polls to drive up the votes for Trump. And they can be beaten by easily to let people vote as many times as they want.

Fox News even put out a notice to their staff warning them that online polls are not scientific and do not meet editorial standards.

The fact that the media is dismissing online polls isn't making Trump happy since those are basically the only ones that say that he won the debate.

Rolling Stone - The (Real) Polls Prove It: Clinton Trounced Trump in the Debate

We now have the results of five scientific polls, and each shows Clinton scoring a commanding victory over Trump on the debate stage.

Clinton got her highest marks in a CNN poll that showed her beating Trump 66 to 27 percent. Trump's best showing came in a PPP poll – in which Clinton still beat him by 11 points, 51 to 40. Polls by YouGov (57/30) Politico/Morning Consult (49/26) and Echelon Insights (48/22) complete the picture of a debate dominated by the woman in the red suit.

Winning a debate is one thing. Changing minds and votes is quite another. And the details of the polls suggest that Clinton's strong performance could have an impact on the election.

In the CNN poll, 34 percent of respondents said the debate made them more likely to vote for Clinton. In PPP's survey, that number was 40 percent, with 39 percent saying they were less likely to vote for Trump. Forty-one percent of Eschelon respondents said they are now more likely to cast a ballot for Clinton.

Each of the polls asked slightly different questions. In the Politico/Morning Consult poll, 23 percent came away with a "much more favorable" view of Clinton, while 26 percent emerged with a "much less favorable" view of Trump. The YouGov poll did not measure electoral leaning, but Clinton walloped Trump among independents, 33 to 17, and even bested him among men, 27 to 24.

At this point, it's entirely up to Hillary whether or not she will win.

[samsnee]

I wonder what Trump will do at the town hall debate when a larger woman asks him why he calls women fat? I mean we all know what he'll do AFTER which is call Fox News and complain how it was a set up.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- By 61% to 27%, Americans who tuned in to Monday night's presidential debate believe Hillary Clinton, rather than Donald Trump, did the better job. Her 34-percentage-point lead is among the more robust victories presidential candidates have earned in Gallup's post-debate polls stretching back to 1960, on par with Bill Clinton's debate wins over Bob Dole in 1996. However, as the record shows, the winner of the first debate does not necessarily win the next debate, or the election.
