Think Trump will claim the debate was "rigged"

1. He is already claiming he had a defective microphone

He was shouting so much, I don't even know why he needed one.

8. Something else that can be easily fact checked

Just play the tape back. All I heard was a bunch of chaotic noise...

2. That'll be part of the morning spin.

Somehow the "lying" media will get the blame, even though it was Trump's own words. They'll claim it was a complete conspiracy to make him look bad.

6. I am looking forward to tomorrows news.

3. Claiming bad/misfunctioning mic. Questioning if that was intentional.

Per reports on MSNBC.

4. per msnbc just now--Trump is crying that his mic was not working. (did not hear him tell Lester

that during the debate).

What a loser!

5. He needed a few minutes to think up his excuse

He was too busy trying to cover up from Clinton's pummeling while the debate was going on. Now that he's had a chance to take an antihistamine, clear his head, and think up an excuse, he's decided it was the mic, not what the mic was picking up, that was defective.

7. The mic made him stupid

He was really brilliant & the mic turned into gibberish
