Hi RG and all
Just popping in for a moment.
You make some good points, Rod.
In case you haven’t seen it, Hillary’s staff is trying to get her supporters to tweet for her during and after the debate (I’m sure the reporters that cover her as well as others will falling all over themselves to give glowing tweets about how well she did). I don’t tweet but I think at least some Trump supporters are planning on tweeting for Trump.
Also, remember that Drudge should have his poll up after the debate; and, I suspect that ABC, NBC, CBS and the cable channels will also have their own online polls. So we should all plan on voting on as many of these as possible. Trump won the Drudge polls after all the debates in the primary and I think many/most of the other online polls, too.

The MTP feed for the Miami affiliate,Channel 6, has been interrupted to reveal some of the details of our horrible loss here in South Florida last night at 3:00 am. Three boaters were evidently killed instantly as their 32 foot See Vee overturned in the very dangerous waters of Government Cut leading into the port of Miami.
The See Vee boat is what we call an open fishermen with only a The "Tee Top" to protect its passengers in case of a disaster such as occurred such as last night.
Wile its rare for a boat of that size to overturn navigating the dangerous waters of Miami's Government Cut is always a challenge even in the day much less at night. Nighttime navigaiton is a whole other world as well. You have to think differently and expect the unexpected. ITs as tought as navigation gets.
Motor failure, steering failures, rouge waves, undetected currents, all can play a part in nighttime disasters such as this.
One of the fatalities was Miami's biggest star not only in Major League baseball but in real life: Jose Fernandez. Anyone who follows the Florida Marlins didn't have to meet him to understand what a rock star the guy was.
He was a one of a kind stars that comes along in the lives of people and brings joy to everyone.
He was a great athlete, wonderful pitcher and will be missed by all. As one spokesman just described Jose he was the face of Major league Baseball for all of us in South Florida.
