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.
Second best?! Really? Now we think participation trophies are fine? Ok whatever.
As for the aftermath of the debate. I like it. I enjoy that orange fuck getting made fun of and the memes are superb. But as expected, he could have yanked his pickle out and jerked off live on TV and his cultists would still defend him. I am 100% sure that this would have been the case. And there still would be people who are undecided!
I think it’s more of a mushroom, but point taken.

Undecideds are fake by and large this time around. Just media bullshit or liars getting airtime.
I listened to a podcast that interviewed “undecideds” in swing states.
It’s was just absurd. They seem to be conservatives trying to make themselves feel more logical and intelligent.
One of them said that he was disappointed Harris didn’t seem to have a week developed plan for the economy, because he had doubts about her financial outcomes, but didn’t about trump.
It’s just absurd to me that anyone could spend more than a few seconds considering Trumps economic plans and conclude that he’s a sensible economic manager.
2nd best is a turn of phrase, an old one. It’s an insult. You must not be very well read.
I read your comment very well, and I find it to be second best.
Only 2nd, not 3rd?
