Donald Trump’s bad week: Speculation of waning star abounds after debate

Is Donald Trump fatigue setting in?

After fighting off attacks from all sides during Wednesday night’s debate, Trump stepped into his latest controversy at a campaign event in New Hampshire, and it appeared as if the GOP frontrunner’s week was as kind to him as he is to his adversaries.

Liberal and conservative pundits alike agreed that Trump’s performance took a back seat to his GOP rival, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who dominated the evening at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also made strong cases for themselves.

Trump’s glib insults, though warmly received at kickoff, did not fare as well later on as Fiorina and others addressed legitimate issues with poise and conviction. The standout moment when Fiorina got Trump to uncharacteristically back down from his comment about her face was just the feather in her cap.

For once, despite speaking the most, Trump was not the star of the show. Political commentators started questioning whether Trump-mania was fizzling out.

The media seem to have stopped pushing Bush now and are pushing old iron face after her last so called win for them.

Mark Levin will be on Hannity tonight. He did a great job at the beginning of his show going off on Hillary attacking Trump over the Muslim questioner at the townhall meeting.

This is just part of the preagreed story line. The first part was Fiorina cleaning up in the debate.

The media spent days after the first debate saying he’d lost.
At least that time they had the decency to hide the poll numbers while they did it.

At work today, everybody in my office said that they were no longer for Donald Trump. They are now all-in for Jebbie Bush. Looks like everybody just did a total 180 degree turn literally overnight.

I went to the liquor store after work and asked them to get me the bottle that would get me the most loaded. It was Bushmills Irish Whiskey. Then I ran over some bushes in my driveway on the way home.I just can't get away from the bushes.

Resurge would require a slide. He’s up in the polls.
