I feel [Trump] would do fantastic in a second debate. I feel it’s attention-grabbing [Harris] desires one. Normally in the event you’re successful a marketing campaign, you don’t need any extra debates. You’re successful, why do you need to expose your self to one thing going unsuitable onstage? The truth that she desires a second debate tells me—as somebody who has run for workplace—that they have to be seeing one thing internally. I feel what they’re seeing is the concept of Kamala Harris at the start now these blanks are being stuffed in by all of the issues she stood for 4 years in the past.

I don’t suppose [Harris] gained. However did she exceed the low expectations set for her? Maybe she did. I feel President Trump did a fantastic job, significantly on the difficulty within the latter a part of that alternate on abortion. He was capable of make clear his place in a approach that the media has tried to confound at each step of the way in which. I believed he did a fantastic job the place he put Kamala Harris on her again toes with out [her] answering the query of what she would favor. I feel he succeeded in making his place clear.

That is the Joe Biden basement technique on steroids—not answering any questions. The ABC moderators have been a shame within the sense that it was a three-on-one debate [with them] making an attempt to fact-check, and so they didn’t even do it accurately. [Harris] doesn’t need to speak to the the media, that is why that is her one and solely time. The American individuals care deeply in regards to the economic system, they care deeply about their kids’s future, they care deeply about what the rates of interest are and what the grocery retailer costs are. These are the essential issues to the American individuals, and what they’re not getting is any solutions from Kamala Harris. Tonight’s debate didn’t change something in regards to the final 4 years.
Former Trump marketing campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh
I feel in the event you take the talk as an entire, the truth that [Harris] someway managed to get by 90 minutes with out expressing a single concept in regards to the inflation going through this nation, a single concept about how she may repair the issue on the border that she and Joe Biden brought about, a single second of reflection about what occurred in Afghanistan. She didn’t say a single phrase to deal with any of these issues, clarify her culpability in inflicting them and what she may do if she have been someway capable of grow to be president to repair it. Had she accomplished that, the query routinely can be: Why don’t you do this proper now? You’re within the White Home now—repair it.
