Steve Schmidt masterful takedown of Trump's entire debate performance

[UCmeNdc]

"This debate was a debacle for Donald Trump," Steve Schmidt said. "And I think it is the beginning of the end presidency. What you will see in the next couple days is movement by at least a couple of points, probably outside the margin of error. You will really see the gravel start to slip and all this start to go down."

Schmidt said you won't see any Senators coming out to defend Trump's abysmal performance.

"What this was tonight was a disgrace," Steve continued. "It was a national humiliation. You saw a president who was unhinged, lying, sweaty, disheveled, angry, petulant, and most important of all, completely incapable of making any type of argument about why he should have four more years. He appeared to be crazy most of the debate."

Steve pointed out that Biden had some great moments on COVID, the economy, & the military. He then deconstructed how 2016 differs from 2020. He made an important observation. Biden's lead and strength are tempered, and Trump's lead magnified because of the media's fear of being wrong.

1. We're well past the beginning of the end of Trump.

He's been undoing his Presidency with incompetence, fear mongering and ignorance for ages. It's more like we're at the beginning of the ugly final throes. It's going to get messier and worse. And more dangerous. But very necessary. Let's see this through.

17. I agree, he only put an exclamation point on it last night.

[George II]

2. Senators may not defend trump's performance, but they won't condemn it, either.

[Kitchari]

3. THAT is what's the most telling

It is wholly and completely Putin's party

[not_the_one]

18. The old GOP is the NEW GOPOP (Grand Old Party of Putin)

[TheRealNorth]

5. They will defend Donald Trump by attacking Joe Biden

That's how Republicans always defend the indefensible, by whataboutism and attacking.

6. deleted

double post

8. It's true. Radio silence until they are pinned by a question.

There will be a tap dance to immediately pivot away from the subject, and not much more than that.

12. +1. And history will record that Senate Republicans refused to remove him.

And that Republicans knew who he was, but nominated him to be president

[CaptYossarian]

24. As they trot past the cameras and microphones, they'll say the usual BS

whenever he embarrasses the party: "I cannot comment because I didn't see it."

Every. Single. Time.

4. No one destroys Trump more effectively than Schmidt!!

Bravo!

[ProfessorGAC]

15. I'd Counter That

Schmidt is the 2nd best.
PINO does a better job of taking down PINO than anybody!

9. Get thee to the greatest page!

Schmidt's take on the state of the race is important for everyone to hear!

10. Thanks! K&R

11. Ari Melber ruined that segment for me.

I used to like him, but he's gotten so annoying lately.

He interrupted Schmidt for a question that didn't make sense, and then later cut him off.

I turned off the TV.

[Mickju]

13. Ari has always done that.

I never deliberately watch his show. He drives me nuts.

[Kahuna]

16. Ari used to be must see TV for me. They way he has acted towards..

Biden during this cycle has turned me completely off. He doesn't appear to be over Bernie's loss.

19. I can't get anything but the headline at

the Daily Kos link. Can't even open the comments.

[yuiyoshida]

20. Send this to the greatest page!

[LiberalFighter]

22. I hope the media try to get responses from Republican members of Congress.

See if they say "I didn't get a chance to watch it."

[Sloumeau]

23. It is hard to imagine Donald Trump doing any worse at the debate

than he actually did. In a debate he desperately needed to score points with American viewers, in a debate that some estimated that 74% of American voters would watch, Donald Trump failed to add a single vote to his totals.

Earlier in the evening I watched most of the 2019 movie "Midway", and while watching Trump at the debate, he appeared like one of those flaming Japanese Zeros from world war two before it crashed into the sea. The words "EPIC FAIL" don't come close to described hat a complete and total disaster that was for Trump.
