GOP lawmakers and analysts virtually unanimous that Trump was second best to Harris in first presidential debate

Donald Trump’s campaign was in damage control mode on Wednesday amid widespread dismay among supporters over a presidential debate performance that saw Kamala Harris, his Democratic opponent, repeatedly goad him into going wildly off-message and missing apparent opportunities to tackle her on policy.

Even with Trump insisting to have won the debate “by a lot”, Republicans were virtually unanimous that Trump had come off second best in a series of exchanges that saw the vice-president deliberately bait him on his weak points while he responded with visible anger.

The Republican nominee – who took the unusual step afterwards of visiting the media spin room, a venue normally frequented only by candidates’ surrogates – was non-committal on Wednesday to the Harris campaign’s proposal for a second debate. Despite widespread opinion to the contrary, Trump suggested she needed it because she had lost. “I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate,” he told Fox & Friends.

Ah it's a comprehension issue, that explains so much.

IT IS A COMPREHENSION ISSUE BECAUSE WHAT YOU WROTE IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE.

I'm just about done... yall are wearing me out.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Luckily for you I worked in special education in a former life so I have some experience with this:

Donald Trump should’ve just said the plan (that he claims to have) then. (Stop me if you need clarification)

He could've shown us some plan in 2016 (still waiting on that healthcare plan) (Stop me if you need clarification)

He could've shown us some plan in 2020 before he lost the election and attempted to overthrow the legitimately elected government of the U.S. (Stop me if you need clarification)

The reality is that he doesn't have a plan. (Stop me if you need clarification)

He understands what a plan is so he can say "I have a concept of a plan" and think he's being clever, but again, he doesn't actually have a plan. (Stop me if you need clarification)

His cult of followers will do an incredible amount of mental somersaults to hear whatever meaning they want to hear in his words, because it's a cult of personality. (Stop me if you need clarification)

Let me stop you for clarification. Is your attitude this reprehensible and insufferable in real life? Or just online?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Weren't you complaining and ad hominem earlier?

[–] Letsdothis@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pointing them out is one thing. Complaining about them is another. And no, I wasn't complaining about them.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cool. Now how about you comment on the rest of the post that was very gently laying things out so that it would not be "incomprehensible"?

[–] Letsdothis@lemmy.world -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's for the invite, but no thanks. Don't even know what comment you're referring to.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Of course not, that would require you actually having a coherent point to try to defend.

I was referring to this comment by the way if you want to take a stab at actually trying to say something worthwhile: https://lemmy.ca/comment/11599323

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is me being nice to you.

[–] Letsdothis@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't comment about you being nice or not. I commented about how utterly insufferable you seem to be. The reading comprehension is very low here...

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I'M GOING TO EAT YOUR PETS.

edit: I love how you've used "comprehension" twice after I used it, did you learn a new word today?

[–] Letsdothis@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

... I used comprehension in direct response to your use of comprehension.

I'm about to just stop responding to everyone. I feel this is a losing battle...

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I’m about to just stop responding to everyone.

Yes.
