    I think it could have been worse. It’s still early.

    Yeah but he took a real beating in that debate. And I don’t just mean in the polling numbers but his own party’s trust in him as a good candidate. It was a disaster. Recovery is certainly possible but man what a kick to the nuts the debate was to the campaign.

    trump vs biden polling numbers after debate

    He could be playing coy too. Rope a dope. Build Trump up with confidence to light him up closer to the end. I don’t think that is necessarily the case, but it’s a possible strategy

    I think that’s just pure hopium, tbh. Now more than ever after the debate and with the calls for him to step down he should act strong and show he is a good candidate. Not just for fence sitters but for his own party.

    Trump did not look better in my eyes. Biden did not look bad. He did say something whacky. But his composure is much more impressive than Trump’s. Trump couldn’t even answer a question he was asked 4 times.

    I’m talking in a general voter sense. I’m sure some viewed it as a good showing and that he came off as the better out of the two in it.

          No. I meant your responses are specifically boring. I don’t care about how he polls. I don’t care what Trump has to say because he has proven himself to be a massive liar and delusional in his own grandeur. There is nothing you can say you to change my mind. I watched the debate and deciphered what I needed to from the material given.
