"The problems the president had tonight can potentially be fixed" - Chris Christie on ABC



Jennifer Epstein
@jeneps
"The problems the president had tonight can potentially be fixed," says Chris Christie, who is part of the Trump debate prep team, on ABC.


A resounding vote of confidence there from Christie.

Maybe substitute Trump's Adderall stash with ketamine?

Yeah - if it was another candidate with a clean slate and no baggage. Otherwise, he’s fucked.

When Biden is elected, recognizing and dealing with sociopaths narcissists and authoritarians should be on TV as public service announcement, lessons in how to recognize and cope and escape the abusive asshole...the more you know..🌠

tape of the debate like a football coach would show his team after a game. tRump’s problems go all the way to his core. He is rotten and cannot be fixed. He is unable to control himself and act like a civilized human being because he is not. He has to be the overlord in every situation so will never want to look what he considers “weak”. (Calm and rational.) The biggest problem is he will not listen to anyone because he believes deep inside that he knows everything and is the smartest man in the room. And that is why he won’t change because he simply cannot change to save his life. To save the presidency. He might as well get fitted for his orange jumpsuit because he is toast. He is finished. Stick a fork in him. He is done.

Many of us thought at the time of the 2016 debates that he came across as a Gish galloper of lies, unhinged and overbearing, to put it mildly.

Tonight that came across in vivid spades. That's after four years, and he's gone backwards, not improved.

And it doesn't seem to have played out well for him:




Jessica Taylor
@JessicaTaylor

Words undecided voters in @FrankLuntz's focus group had for Trump: "arrogant," "crackhead" and "un-American"

Biden: "better than expected," "more professional," "restraint and compassion," "Predictable" "coherent" "leader"


If this polling's to be believed, it didn't even play out well with his base:




Nate Cohn
@Nate_Cohn
What a mess. There was no winner, certainly not the United States. And that makes Biden the winner. He's the frontrunner. It's Trump who needed the win, and I think most anyone would agree, as Chris Wallace said, that the president was largely responsible for the debate.


doug rivers
@doug_rivers
Agree that it was awful, but Trump did badly with his base. 15% of his supporters thought it was a tie, compared to only 4% of Biden supporters. Only 49% of Trump supporters thought it made them think better of Trump

This is what Mary Trump said as well, when asked by Stephen Colbert if her uncle's issues could be fixed. She said Trump's pathologies are so many and so ingrained, there's really nothing to be done to help him now.
