Wednesday night will probably be the last time Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are ever in a room together. (Unless Madam President accepts the invitation to Trump’s next wedding.) But other than as a historical footnote, this debate doesn’t really matter.
One of the more revealing windows into the Trump campaign came after the second debate. In real time, every Trump supporter (and many Trump skeptics) I know went crazy about how he “won” the debate. I didn’t buy it myself—it struck me as a victory only in the sense that it would keep the Republican leadership from attempting to push him off the ticket entirely. And if you want to count that as a win, then so be it.
