He lost on performance but absolutely smoked her on substance which is what really counts
He did.
But he could have ended the election that night if he stayed controlled and on point. Like this:
When Kamala said "Very fine". Trump: "Look, this has been being said for 8 years. Everyone knows it's false if you use the whole quote. Even snopes.com disproved it. It needs to end here. Michael, since you're apparently fact checking everything, do you want to take a shot here?" Repeat after Jan 6 cops, bloodbath, Project 2025.....
When asked about the border bill "What Kamala fails to mention is that this bill normalizes 1.5M illegal entrants per year, and has 80 Billion to Ukraine. I can't have that. Extra agents are good, but she doesn't need this bill to do that. If they didn't reverse my Stay in Mexico policy day one for political gain, we wouldn't be in this mess.
Simple shit like that.
