Why even Republicans think Clinton won the first debate
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2016/09/27/daily-202-why-even-republicans-think-clinton-won-the-first-debate/57e9b033e9b69b3019a1e037/
The consensus that Donald Trump badly lost the first debate gelled overnight.
Trump’s surrogates in the spin room were downbeat, and the candidate himself has already begun making excuses
Trump was supposed to stop by the Nassau County Republican Committee’s watch party on his way home. He skipped it.
Rudy Giuliani, a top Trump surrogate, even suggested that Trump should skip the next two debates unless he gets concessions.
It was a debate about Trump. Like the whole 2016 cycle, the GOP nominee sucked up all the oxygen.
Trump’s lack of preparation showed
Trump got worse with each passing exchange
Trump played to his base. He did nothing to win over fresh converts or reassure recalcitrant Republicans
“Hillary was well-informed and unflappable; Trump got across his major themes but was probably too Trump to widen support,”
“It is hard to imagine that there was a single moment in the debate that would have convinced a wavering college-educated woman in the Philadelphia or Cincinnati suburbs to vote for Trump,”
Clinton’s performance, in contrast, will excite her base and put a pause to some of the recent bedwetting about a tightening race.
“The contrast between an obviously and eminently qualified public servant and a ranting bully was as stark as any presidential debate in American history,”
Trump’s failure to offer an improved explanation for his years challenging Barack Obama’s legitimacy could also help galvanize African American voters.
Trump also gave ad-makers tons of fodder for fresh attack ads. Clinton, on the other hand, made no gaffes that could be used in a negative ad.
“Trump repeatedly relied on troublesome and false facts that have been debunked throughout the campaign,”
On “Fox and Friends” this morning, he doubled down on his attacks of Alicia Machado, the Miss Universe candidate he once allegedly dubbed “Miss Piggy,” calling her “the worst” contestant they ever had.
