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.
'I have Concepts of a plan, I'm not president'
That's a weak, dog ate my homework, BS non-answer that any intelligent listener heard and understood as such.
'eating pets'
You gonna defend the ex president repeating easily disproven twitter misinfo on the debate stage too?
We both know it would've bothered you if Kamala did.
Any major gaffes or mistakes made by Kamala you care to mention? Or was it just her face that you, a paragon of impartiality, object to?
I'm not going to argue every point with you. Waste of my time/energy.

... No, it demonstrates that those who share your perspective probably failed English in high school. Your claim of intelligence is fallacious. I'm sorry... fallacious means it was wrong or deceptive. I'll use smaller words for you.
'I have concepts of a plan, I'm not president'
This could be clearer. But it conveys that one has ideas or concepts of a plan but not in a position of authority to implement it.
I hope many read this so I don't have to keep "ELI5" to everyone.
So your brilliant analysis that I overlooked in my assessment is that:
"concepts of a plan conveys that one has ideas or concepts of a plan"
Lol, yes! Are you ok? Yes, It means what it means. It doesn't have to be explained any different. I honestly don't understand why you and so many others cant comprehend this simple phrase.
He should've just said he plan then, or done that in 2016, or in 2020. Reality is he doesn't have one but understands what a plan is. Hence he "has a concept" of a plan but doesn't actually have a plan. Luckily he has MAGAts to explain what be REALLY meant.
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)
That barely holds up if you consider this argument in a vacuum. Brought into the context that Trump said he had better plan than Obamacare since 2016, your argument is utter bullshit.
I'm not going to argue every point with you. Waste of my time/energy.
Translation: I can't defend the clearly batshit crazy thing so I'm going to try to ignore it.
You've been wasting a lot of time/energy replying here, but for some reason responding to the fact that Trump said immigrants were eating pets, post birth abortions are happening, and children are coming home from school having had gender changing surgery forced upon them, well that's just minor quibbles not worth arguing about...
You've been wasting a lot of time/energy replying here
Hah you're not wrong about that. I'm nearly worn out now.
I haven't answered those topics for a few reasons. Some are more nuanced/complicated and require more effort, and like you said, I've "been wasting a lot of time/energy replaying" already. But no, they aren't "minor quibbles" and totally worth arguing, but I have enough on my plate already.
Translation: it's indefensible and should disqualify him, so I'm going to try to keep the conversation on other topics as much as possible and hopefully people will forget the completely bat shit insane things Trump claimed.
