While this should be obvious to anyone who watched the debate, Trump is out trying to spin it that “all the polls” show he won, when that is clearly not the case.

    This is like watching a couple race cars compete; one goes 100% from the first milisecond and wows the crowd with its speed and accuracy; and the other car stalls out a few feet into the race, catches on fire, and spends the rest of the event just spewing out noxious plumes.

    …and then we start getting polls about which one people think did better…

    If you rewatch it with the sound off, it is pretty incredible. From the moment Kamala walks over and shakes his hand (which he obviously didn’t intend to do), his body language is pure defensiveness. He scowls and hunkers down throughout the entire thing. His anger is apparent.

    Trump could not have looked less presidential, and that is saying a lot for someone who was literally President before.

      Can someone make a Timelapse split screen of the whole thing? Might be interesting to watch his face change, but only if it takes 1-2 minutes max, nobody needs to look at him any longer.

    I can’t imagine watching it and thinking he won. It’s almost like any democrat who thought Biden won the first one. You can try to find glimmers to grasp on to, but the reality is the oldest guy in each debate was made to look like a fool.

    Trump won all the polls. The question was, “Which candidate was batshit crazy?”

      He thinks it’s like golf. The few points he makes, the better.

      Except he’s terrible at golf.
