Looking back on it, he did kind of b-tchslap Santos around now and then. At the time I thought of it more as rude than anything else, but I guess people could see that as strong, too.
I kind of can't wait to see what the writers did with this... next week's show is already in the can, so it'll be interesting to see if they have Vinnick win or not.
Wow, I thought Vinick looked confused and I thought he just got crushed. I still do think he did much better than our real President in the real debates.
One idea I had in regard to the swing in support: I don't think that would ever happen in real life because of a debate like the one Vinnick and Santos had. People these days are so entrenched in their ideas about candidates, it would take a performance of immense idiocy on the part of one candidate to produce a similar result. We're talking race-baiting, religion-bashing, hitler-praising idiocy.
