Trump tamed is Trump triumphant

Michael Reagan on Oct 23, 2020

Everyone agrees the second debate was pretty good in terms of informing voters.

Everyone agrees that despite Trump’s tweeted concerns, NBC journalist Kristen Welker did an excellent and fair job as moderator – and put Fox’s Chris Wallace to shame.

But Trump clearly benefited the most from the debate.

His campaign will be able to pull half a dozen damning Biden soundbites for its TV ads.

And I hear that the president’s staff has finally found a way to keep Trump from hurting himself.For the next ten days they’re going to install a mute button at his press conferences.
