First the pundits reacted to the debate. Then the people weighed in

Following Tuesday night’s presidential debate, pollster Frank Luntz told talk show host Piers Morgan he thinks former President Donald Trump’s performance will cost him the election. Harsh as Luntz’s assessment of the event was, he wasn’t alone. Wall Street Journal columnist Karl Rove called the debate “catastrophic” for Trump. In fact, it “was a train wreck for him, far worse than anything Team Trump could have imagined,” Rove insisted.

To be sure, it wasn’t a great night for the former president — or for those of us hoping he would deliver a humiliating Tulsi Gabbard-esque takedown of Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump repeatedly allowed himself to take Harris’s bait, something he should have expected and been prepared for. Rather than pivoting and going on offense, he became rattled and defensive.

Even Republican lawmakers, who spoke to Fox News on the condition of anonymity, were alarmed by Trump’s performance. One said, “It was terrible. The thing that’s terrible is he had so many opportunities to come after her and he didn’t. He got bogged down on the hook she was dragging through the water.”

Again, I think he was counseled HARD not to annihilate her in the debate.  He was told to NOT destroy the bimbo.

Through the whole debate, you could see he was seething under the cover of proper decorum.  Harris being a female, a black female, he would be perceived as a racist if he went on the attack.  So, he was reserved most of the night, and as all of you know, passed on opportunities to shred her into confetti repeatedly.

No one gives him credit for his reserve, but I know what he is capable of.  He could have made mincemeat out of that total fool.  As was mentioned further up the thread, she did not answer a single question.  He could have pointed that out every step of the way.  Imagine when he would start out answering every question he responded to by saying, Muir, you think you got an answer to your last question, shake his head, and answer his own.

To put it plainly, he was gentle on the mindless fool.  And yet, the bimbo still went on a rant of his being a racist, just as they planned.  Pathetic!!!!!!!
