Before the debate mischance and the president's hospitalization, I even argued for more campaigning on behalf of senators and congressmen believing that the president was well on his way. I now hope that his hospitalization will drive home to people in a very visceral way what it will be like without this man is president.
As for the debate, he has two more chances to understand that tone often wins over substance.
My confusion was the size of the rat preference given the dreadful behavior of the Democrats. If Trump cannot pivot the focus back on to the economy and security and away from COVID hes toast. From what I can see the attempt to use his apparent quick and full recovery to his advantage is failing and in fact is backfiring on him because of the MSM. He was going for a Churchill moment but with a hostile and hate filled media it looks like its blowing up on him.
