Trump and his fanboiz all believe he's the smartest person in any room. How could he be so undone by such inferior human beings and their little questions?

How putting the FAKE "reality" star who loves tv on tv an ambush?

What's so frightening about questions from your average American voter?

Makes you wonder if FOX will ask Chris Wallace to 'take it easy' on ole Donny during the actual debates...?

Yeah, Trump through his arrogance and basic ignorance ambushed himself. Thought he could bullshit his way through a townhall without any preparation, just the same old schtick.

Not working anymore.

Don't know who convinced Trump this format was a good idea. My God, he was awful. I imagine he thought he'd be brilliant in Philly, thereby dissing Biden's official HQ city. Instead he blew himself up. I read the transcript. The man is delusional and frankly makes no sense. These were not hard questions.

The incompetence of a grifter was center stage tonight. No way to spin it or pretend it didn't happen.

Now he is bullshitting his way through the presidency, and the GOP is OK with that.

He is all about attitude.

String a lot of words together, any order, and get that attitude out there!

The words don't matter.

Why weren't the plebs impressed? It works on his base!

But yes, ambush it was! /sarcasm
