Trump was defensive, and debated poorly at points, but he did not look crazy. And pundits noticed that he intentionally avoided using his strongest attacks regarding Bill Clinton’s scandals. In other words, he showed control. He stayed in the presidential zone under pressure. And in so doing, he solved for his only remaining problem. He looked safer.

So true, this will help pick up new voters. Also, he gave a lot of scrutiny to the TPP deal, which will score well with many Bernie progressives. Trump handled topics dealing with minorities and police much better than Clinton as well.

Bottom-line: Trump picked up new voters, Hillary did not.
