The real question is what does this change for Trump? He needed a complete victory to stop the tide, and I don't think he came even close.
He didn't throw a punch so I think that may stem the tide of GOP lining up against him for a while until the video fallout hits the polls.

I watched on PBS and after the debate Mark Shields and David Brooks both had him winning on the grounds that he did enough to stop the slide and exodus (giving him particular praise for his attacks regarding her emails, which the right love) and she failed to do enough to drive the dagger in.
And if you're in the mood for some more politics, PBS is re-airing The Choice 2016 (which should be available though
the Frontline website soon).
