I don't think Clinton wants Trump completely out of the woods yet -  and I suspect this debate leads to Trump's first ever draw, giving Trump hope before another oppo dump occurs.
Why not?

You still want supporters to actually go and vote.

Why would the better performance in the debates not do it? Bernie bros would vote for third parties or something like this?

There's a possibility that the totals for Johnson/Stein could vary by 1-2% based on whether people think the election is close or not. Essentially, the less "risk" there is to voting third party, the more likely people are to do it. You might not think Clinton cares whether Johnson gets 4% or 6% or 8% as long as she still wins, but believe me, she does. 5% of the vote gets the LP federal funding in 2020, which makes a big difference and presents a serious threat to the two party duopoly if it is used properly. Yes, it can just result in endless infighting and implode the party, but Sarwark (LNC chair) seems fairly intelligent and is definitely popular enough to pull some strings in the right direction (He was re-elected with 65% of the vote at the Convention this year).

CNN's pro-dem sample should give Clinton the edge, but it will probably be the narrowest of her three wins.

Somebody remind me...how on earth did Trump win the primaries?

4-11 candidate debates. If Trump's campaign was smarter, they would have point-blank refused to debate unless Johnson and Stein were included. Trump has 20 or 25 minutes of good material, but he doesn't have 45 minutes.

Clinton, America is Great because America is good is about the worst catch-line possible.

I attend an Evangelical-leaning Church during the academic year and the pastors never speak in tongues.

We all know who Wallace is voting for now Smiley

Honestly, probably neither of these two candidates.

While I don't believe it will ultimately be necessary, if the race somehow becomes a dead heat again and I feel like I have to hold my nose for Hillary, tonight made it a lot less painful to do so.
