Serious Question Isn't Meant to Start None..

There’s no spinning it. It was hands down the worst performance by any candidate in a televised presidential debate in history.

This isn’t a formal debate where a qualified judge evaluates arguments won and points dropped. Where style might influence “speaker points” but not the win/loss of the round.

Rather than achieving the goal of alleviating the candidate’s greatest perceived weakness… it cemented that weakness.

Does that mean that we lose? Maybe not. It might not even hurt too badly in the polls… but there’s no spinning this one as a tie. Does it mean that Trump did well in some objective sense? Nope - not that either. But it’s what it is.
