Nicole Wallace says Trump's Debate Performace is what they Planned to do , that was his Debate Prep

Watch the short 2 minute clip below. She talks about Trump being abusive and then says his performance was what they planned to do. That's what his debate prep was about and she says it doesn't win new voters so WHY would they do this ?

I think a lot of it was about avoiding certain things from being brought up. Particularly his taxes but even more that he is a FAILED business person .

Trump is not one for taking advice, and hey, his behavior kills at his rallies right? Trump has been in a MAGA-bubble with few forays into reality for four years thus his thinking that "Pocahontas" would play in Peoria, and the majority of Americans are as deplorable as his most rabid supporters.

since that was the strategy and it's not a vote-winning strategy what is this temperamental psychopathic racist wannabe dictator, who says he plans to ignore the election results anyway, actually trying to do?

the answer to that question is what we're about to discover over the next 5 weeks. Nicolle Wallace picked up on that real quick.

8. His debate strategy is the same strategy he uses to govern: chaos

I watched for 30 minutes and went to bed. It was apparent that Trump was throwing spaghetti on the wall hoping something would stick. He kept interrupting because he didn't want Joe to be able to criticize him. He has governed this way for 4 years. My guess is he has done business this way his whole life. But if you keep interrupting and you keep changing the subject and you throw out a bunch of non-sequators, you don't actually have to have any substance.

That Trump was trying to get VP Biden to stutter...

This was supposed to be Chris Christie's idea...
