"Trump's answer on the race issue was completely tone-deaf."
eh...if you're a person of color, or a white liberal, sure. But there's a large portion of the electorate that will eat that shit up with a spoon.
"If I had been Clinton, one wonky thing I would have hit him with is..."
I think it was pretty clear that her advisors instructed her to avoid wonking too hard. The intellectual members of the electorate are already 99% for Clinton. Now she needs to win over those voters who are actually considering voting for Trump (or Johnson or Stein.) We're not talking about a bunch of geniuses here. She's not going to win them over by sounding like their 11th grade history teacher.
I agree about the needling, though. Seemed pretty clear to me that she laid a few traps that he walked into.
