GOP lawmakers and analysts virtually unanimous that Trump was second best to Harris in first presidential debate

Donald Trump’s campaign was in damage control mode on Wednesday amid widespread dismay among supporters over a presidential debate performance that saw Kamala Harris, his Democratic opponent, repeatedly goad him into going wildly off-message and missing apparent opportunities to tackle her on policy.

Even with Trump insisting to have won the debate “by a lot”, Republicans were virtually unanimous that Trump had come off second best in a series of exchanges that saw the vice-president deliberately bait him on his weak points while he responded with visible anger.

The Republican nominee – who took the unusual step afterwards of visiting the media spin room, a venue normally frequented only by candidates’ surrogates – was non-committal on Wednesday to the Harris campaign’s proposal for a second debate. Despite widespread opinion to the contrary, Trump suggested she needed it because she had lost. “I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate,” he told Fox & Friends.

    He should’ve just said he plan then, or done that in 2016, or in 2020. Reality is he doesn’t have one but understands what a plan is. Hence he “has a concept” of a plan but doesn’t actually have a plan. Luckily he has MAGAts to explain what be REALLY meant.

                Luckily for you I worked in special education in a former life so I have some experience with this:

                Donald Trump should’ve just said the plan (that he claims to have) then. (Stop me if you need clarification)

                He could’ve shown us some plan in 2016 (still waiting on that healthcare plan) (Stop me if you need clarification)

                He could’ve shown us some plan in 2020 before he lost the election and attempted to overthrow the legitimately elected government of the U.S. (Stop me if you need clarification)

                The reality is that he doesn’t have a plan. (Stop me if you need clarification)

                He understands what a plan is so he can say “I have a concept of a plan” and think he’s being clever, but again, he doesn’t actually have a plan. (Stop me if you need clarification)

                His cult of followers will do an incredible amount of mental somersaults to hear whatever meaning they want to hear in his words, because it’s a cult of personality. (Stop me if you need clarification)
