I agree with you 1000%. But those debates assumed him to be a joke in the beginning. Mr Trump was nothing more than a ratings draw. All barrels will be trained on him now.
“But those debates assumed him to be a joke in the beginning. Mr Trump was nothing more than a ratings draw. All barrels will be trained on him now.”
I remember the primary debates a little differently. I distinctly recall that Megyn Kelly and the other Fox moderators came right out of the gate trying to destroy Trump in the very first debate. They weren’t joking even a little bit.
The attacks didn’t cease over the next eleven debates. Trump was Target One, and the whole country knew it. The mods were out to get him. The other candidates were out to get him. The media was out to get him.
The establishment never considered Trump to be a joke. They’ve considered him to be a deadly threat from the moment he stepped into the race.
