John B. King Jr.: “Paul Ryan has been worth a point or two in his home state. He's energized the Republican base.”

Third party candidates matter.

Trump has persuaded his base, his voters, this is nothing. They're after me. They're out to get me and when they get me, they'll come for you.

The question is, do the rules apply anymore? This is the question I ask myself all the time.

The stakes heading into this debate are just so enormous because the race is just so close.
