I said from the start that this CNN 'Debate' was Trump's to lose. I hate being right.
Trump should have been on offense, but played defense every chance he got.
Dear Donald, nobody gives a shit how right you were. You evaded every question thrown at you because you couldn't resist the urge to snipe at your opponent. Would you support a two-state solution to the current crisis in the Middle East? My opponent has opened the border to millions of illegal immigrants...
What can be done to reduce the horrendous cost of childcare for working mothers? My opponent coddles illegal immigrants while our own veterans are sleeping on the streets...
Yes, Biden was obviously giving off senile vibes. Put forward your own policy positions (if such actually exist) and make Biden respond to them.
Yes, this 'debate' was Trump's to lose, and he did not disappoint.

Interesting take! I still haven't got my head entirely around the consequences of the debate yet, but I think you may be onto something. Trump did the usual "appeal to my base" stuff instead of giving "swing voters" something to like; meanwhile, Biden threw his own supporters into headlong panic by making it impossible for anyone to ignore his severe cognitive decline anymore.
ReplyDeleteYes, the bar was set very low for Joe, and he couldn't even clear THAT. That was a surprise given that it's near-certain his team had the questions in advance. The matching surprise was that Team Trump hadn't prepped The Donald to go for the throat --- or perhaps they DID and Trump just couldn't help himself. Either way...
