Donny Deutsch: Debate Is Not Going To Change Anything

DONNY DEUTSCH: "Number one, 5 percent of undecideds, if we become a student of history, one quarter of those are maybe swayed. We're talking about a 1 percent shift. Number two, every poll before the first debate usually ends up being the stand-up poll at the end. Number three, more importantly, actually the leader, that front-runner, now gets to be the underdog in the next one. I mean, he got his ass kicked in the debate, there's no doubt about that, but what is it going to change? It's not going to change anything."



He continues:



"OK, 20 million people watching, let's make a serious bet. Did he win the debate? Slam dunk, not even a question, embarrassment. It is not changing this election. What can we bet?"
