I think trump screwed himself

He needed to win the debate more than Biden just to stop the bleeding, but instead came off looking like the quirky narcissist bully with no ideas.

Many will likely forego the following debates and the impression of trump people have will be based solely on his shit show this evening.

In short, the debates will do him no good and Biden will maintain his lead, or probably increase it.

But i'm not a Trump cult member. But there may be 2% of his votes open to sanity.

As much as it pains me to say it, a good way to measure is through the professional gambling odds makers. Biden has went up three percent already after the debate and trump down 2.5.

That stung.

Joe should point out that’s all about him (Trump) more. He did get on the “he doesn’t care about you” thing quite a lot.

Trump hurt himself with women in the burbs tonight.
