I believe after that debate in 1984, were when you heard the first rumblings of people thinking that Reagan had something wrong with his memory. I don’t think at that time, there was anything wrong with him, but the Democrats jumped on it.
They say Reagan lost 7-10 points of his lead after that debate, although he was still ahead. But another debate like that, and who knows.
I hope Melania had a nice talk with him last night about what he could do better next time.
I’m sure tonight’s rally will be fun, as he’ll talk about what really happened. It will be Must See TV. Maybe that’s Trump’s idea, get more people interested in watching his rallies. While Joe stays in the basement.
I heard that Chris Christie played Biden in his debate prep. Did Trump give the same answers in the debate prep as last night? I tend to doubt it. But Christie or someone needs to "go over the film" with him, as they say in sports. Christie is actually a pretty effective debater. He had a memorable takedown of Rubio in 2016.
