Trump is incapable of separating his really valuable points and insights from his confrontational/territorial instincts. He has accomplished a great deal in his presidency, but hasn't been able to summon the restraint to take advantage of TV's "cool" medium aspects to display his true worth . (Reagan was the master in this regard.) This, coupled with the leftist bias rotting the core of American media, has DJT fighting an uphill battle.

Trump's common sense, outstanding business instincts, patriotism, and respect for law and order and might still be enough to win a second term. However, as much as I admire Trump's fighting spirit, it's the suburban moderate who has to come through on Nov. 3rd., not conservatives like me.

Unfortunate our humanity has reached such a low point of acceptance where we can’t intelligently discuss the best plan...

Amen...IMO, cultures are cyclical, and we are now at a low point where the creative is giving way to the bizarre (Gibbon?).

“...TV’s “cool” medium aspects to display his true worth...”

You mentioned Reagan, he was an actor. Trump, he’s a businessman. Reagan was capable of telling the story. Trump is capable, in this instance, of telling the truth....but he didn’t because he wasn’t given the opportunity and he fell into what Biden wanted, nothing accomplished and Biden is still in the ring with no less fires to put out than he had. And if the format had been adhered to, Biden would have come out of that bruised up at the least. But Wallace blew it. Now the second and third can get completely out of hand.
