The Khan speech definitely had a certain theatricality to it. In the context of what the DNC was trying to achieve, it really helped drive home the point that Trump doesnt really care about anyone other than himself. The fact that Trump just couldnt let go sunk him.
Its playing out again with the whole Ms Universe fiasco. Just. Can't. Let. It. Go. Polling prior to the debate suggested that Trump was closing the gap on Clinton on the backs of suburbanites (especially stay at home moms). Him going after a Ms. Universe for her weight gain will further alienate women.
