Trump is very careful to keep his rhetoric within the range of an average viewing audience, not specialists. He had a LOT of ammunition that he could have used for the well informed. However, he does labor to keep things at the Everyman level.
Problem is, when he is up against the adamant liars and Intel demons, it does put him at a bit of a disadvantage. To see that people still think he 'won' the debate, whatever that was, is nice.
Biggest waste of my time in a while.
Women leaders don't want men around. Soak that in and really think about what I said. It's not a claim.
Here’s a 100% accurate recreation of how the debate pretty much went:
TRUMP: “…and on the day they shot me, the sky was blue.”
DAVID MUIR: “Mr. Trump, excuse me, ABC contacted climate scientists who said the sky is black. Colors are just artifacts of light bending through the atmosphere.”
LINSEY DAVIS: “Plus clouds are white. And the Sun is yellow.”
MUIR: “And, FBI Director Wray said investigators were unable to determine whether it was a bullet, so it is inaccurate to conclude you were shot.”
DAVIS: “You know you faked it.”
And so it went, around and around, President Trump verbally sparring with ABC’s frenetic, over-caffeinated fact-checkers. Meanwhile, candidate and face actress Kamala Harris practiced looking like a mime being tortured to death with a dull potato peeler.
Kamala also said some totally forgettable stuff, not one sentence making a headline or going viral, for two reasons. First, the patently partisan moderators failed to ask Harris anything that anybody would want to know, like why she flip-flopped about some of the race’s most important issues. Even the New York Times was forced to admit the laughing candidate got lame questions and zero fact-checking that produced a boring slog:
There were almost no moments of tension between the moderators
and the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, and
the ABC anchors skipped several opportunities to follow up with
her on tough topics like the Biden administration's chaotic
withdrawal from Afghanistan and Ms. Harris's shifting positions on
fracking and the southern border.
Second, despite getting nothing but squishy softballs, rambling Kamala still could not answer the questions. It went kind of like this:
MUIR: “Vice President Harris, this year you took bold action that resulted in significant reductions in border crossings. Why didn’t you act on the border sooner?”
HARRIS: “You should ask Trump! He said the Ku Klux Klan were very fine people. And he said he would call for a bloodbath if he loses the election. That’s a fact. I’m not joking.”
MUIR: “Thank you, Vice President Harris, that cleared things up. President Trump, to Ms. Harris’s point, when did you start loving Adolph Hitler?”
Trump got the ‘best zinger’ award when the first time Kamala interrupted him, he snipped, “Wait a minute. I’m talking now, if you don’t mind, please. Does that sound familiar?” In the debate’s second-best moment, Trump flat called Harris a marxist — one of the few things he said last night that David and Linsey did not fact-check.
Finally, according to reports, President Trump stayed after the debate answering reporters’ questions for an hour. Cowardly Kamala fled, refusing to answer any question she hadn’t rehearsed. Fake faces, fake answers, fake performance.

Unless there is a man who backs up the women consistently.
I think the winner of the debate was anyone fortunate enough not to see it. It was essentially not just painful but predictable and basically inconsequential.
Would you fight war with a women? My answer is no. They're not leaders.
