Debates, Wires, and Perceptions

We see the same thing every time Donald Trump is engaged in a debate, whether against Republicans in the 2015-16 primary, against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 general election, or last night.

Sure enough, while comments from people watching the debate between Trump, Joe Biden, and Chris Wallace-the supposed moderator who became Trump's second debate opponent-the consensus was that Trump got aggressive, that he missed opportunities to "Make his case" to the undecided, and most of all to take out Biden decisively.

Let's see who counts the "Votes." In fact, in post-debate online polls, Trump was the winner.

Trump's Team knows from its early experience that it's who counts the votes that matter.

Mickey Kaus, who favors Trump's immigration policies but is hardly enamored of the man himself, noted on his Twitter feed that the overwhelming number of his followers thought Trump did famously.

Most conservatives, though agreeing that Trump often talked too fast and too much, agreed that Biden lost, especially when he couldn't answer the question about calling the mayor of Portland to stop the violence or having a rejoinder to Trump's correct statement that he didn't have one law enforcement group backing him.

Have you ever watched two black women go at it? Hispanic males would be anything but repelled by Trump's macho deconstruction of the infantile Biden.
