GOP lawmakers and analysts virtually unanimous that Trump was second best to Harris in first presidential debate
Donald Trumpās campaign was in damage control mode on Wednesday amid widespread dismay among supporters over aĀ presidential debate performanceĀ that sawĀ Kamala Harris, his Democratic opponent, repeatedly goad him into going wildly off-message and missing apparent opportunities to tackle her on policy.
Even with TrumpĀ insistingĀ to have won the debate āby a lotā, 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 ā who took the unusual step afterwards of visiting the media spin room, a venue normally frequented only by candidatesā surrogates ā was non-committal on Wednesday to the Harris campaignās proposal for a second debate. Despite widespread opinion to the contrary, Trump suggested she needed it because she had lost. āIād be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate,ā he told Fox & Friends.
And your ad hominem of saying Kamala was making stupid faces that pissed you off and sounded like a whiney bitch confirms you have nothing intelligent/important to add either.
Sometimes itās not an echo chamber, and youāre just wrong. Not about the spin put on the headline, just in general.

I see youāre not ready to admit or able to recognize this place is an echo chamber, and thatās fine. It can take time.
Hah, I guess I canāt argue the first part too much. Although, I believe itās still relevant because who wants want a president making stupid faces and being whinny. Putin would own her. Sheās good at staying on script, but Iād like to see her have a conversation about things that she hasnāt been able to rehears.
