What matters is the pull towards the never Trumpers and undecideds. That's what the debate was all about last night.
So I'm resigned to trust in Bannon and Conway. Conway might be the smartest pundit the Republicans have had in my lifetime.

I felt he held his own as well as could be expected, but when you have a moderator digging up 43 year old antitrust cases rather than talking about the Clinton Foundation = State Dept favors, emails, DNC scandal, etc. you knew it was a 2 on 1 attack with him doing his level best to defend himself.
This doesn't move the needle except draw a handful of right-leaning Indies with shrinking tolerances for the left wing media conglomerate biases over to Trump, and made the lefties feel like they can breathe for a minute. But that breath may well be short lived. The first post-debate poll from Real Clear Politics shows Trump with a 3 point lead nationally:
