Even Christie, Who Helped With Debate Prep, Thought Trump Did Not Do Well | Talking Points Memo

Thanks for your input, Chris.

As well as your spectacular debate prep for Hair Furor. It was inspired.

At least the Lincoln Project thought so…

I saw him on ABC this morning and he looked ashen, and I thought to myself, well, it IS Chris Christie.

the President has to clarify that answer because folks like you and others are confused by it

No, Outlaw Jersey Whale, nobody was confused by it. You see, we heard what he fucking said. But thanks for playing “Shitgibbon Shit Clean-up.”

Can you imagine standing on the wrong side of Christie and Trump when the buffet line opens.

Seriously, why do we even have to hear about a fat, slimy, has-been like Christie?

Hey, Chrispie Creme, there weren’t numerous times where Biden drifted off, but there were innumerable times where Biden was interrupted by the shit-flinging Orange Shitgibbon.

“Union households in Ohio now favor Biden by eight points, 52 to 44 percent. In 2016, Trump carried that same constituency by 13 points, 54 to 41 percent, according to exit polling. That’s a whopping 21-point turnaround.”

Christie is going to join one of the select few sycophants who got thrown under the bus by Fat Don not once but twice.

Melania didn’t think he did well either, I really like the music, anyone know what it is?

I really pray that number holds and grows. Those people just had Hillary hatred and voted for a monster to change their lot. If they flip now it’s all over.

I’m guessing that poll happened before the “debate” last night, so…

Well, I guess Christie is saying we should all just put this down in the “If you were confused, then maybe he should say he’s sorry” category. (please ignore the bullhorn in the center of the room)

What’s that phrase about “if you’re explaining” again?

Trump didn’t start the right wing project to delegitimize the press and to ignore facts. He’s just the most obvious purveyor of it. It’s a good part of the reason his polling doesn’t change. His deplorable base won’t recognize facts. All they listen to is Trump’s lies and the nonstop disinformation and outright lies of regime sycophants on Fox “News”. The debates are a rare opportunity to see the candidates upfront with no filter.

We’ve seen on “debate” — if that is what can call the hot mess last night. It seems obvious Trump was trying to shout out facts and bully Biden. Does this work? It may excite some of Trump’s deplorable cult, but did it move any voters in his direction?

No.

Trump better get fitted for an orange jumpsuit. He’ll be wearing in in 2021.

Trump will clarify his remarks— but only after his entire team falls on their swords to deny his racist intent
