One thing Trump is not given credit for is that the debate ended most discussion about his taxes.

Trump threw up in the cake, and you kept thinking that you could serve up the clean sides of the cake. But nobody eats a cake that has been vomited into, even a part of the cake that is some distance away from the not-so-nice part of the cake. That’s just human nature.

Yes, Chris Wallace, who could possibly have thought Donald Trump would try to hijack and blow up the debate. Totally unforeseeable.

“Trump” and “a serious exchange of views”. Right. Where has this guy been for 4 years? There are none so blind …

If we were talking about anyone else, I would say that was the plan. The Donald is just not capable of planning.

“The Donald is just not capable of planning.” While that might be true at some level, the Groper is thoroughly capable of planning when it comes to maximizing his share of what he wants at the expense of others.

Decent interview. Good for them.

Though i did, if it’s still a go, that town hall will likely bring that issue back up.

Trump decided long ago that he would just wing it, and if winging it didn’t work, he didn’t really care. He has a death wish and an apathy toward life. It’s not clear to me why anyone would want to continue to live with that mindset. More likely he’s just out of his mind.

Yeah, I think that’s pretty obvious. When the President of the United States is a toddler, there’s only so much anyone can do to try to get him to behave. What was Wallace supposed to do? Punch him?

A trump supporter at the Duluth rally had some advice for Trump concerning the debate:
“The lord gave you two ears and only one mouth for a reason”.

I appreciate his statements here, but how could he not have foreseen such a thing? Did he watch any of the debates with Clinton last year? He did nothing but try to intimidate and throw her off her message.
To be fair, I’m not sure what he could have done. As it stands, the GOP is pushing back on changes right now. I think Biden could be ready for it this time, but I’m not sure what he could do besides say “There you go again. Are you really so afraid?” and then laugh. He could then say “I understand that every time you interrupt me my donations go up.”

Chris Wallace’s competence and credibility are in the toilet. He is working hard to rescue a turd from the nasty port-a-potty. I can’t believe it took him two days to figure it out. May be he needed approval from dirty grandaddy Murdoch before saying anything.
