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.
I don't know. I do wish Khan stuck around a bit longer and uttered a few 4-letter worded retorts. The fact he went away quickly makes his speech a bit hollow to me.

i'm a bit torn on the Miss Universe thing too. It's a business and when the reigning Miss Universe gains 60 pounds, she can be fired can't she? Yes I know Trump is cruel but Hillary is reaching a bit here, pandering to women and Latinos.
