Senate Republicans are feeling frustrated and disappointed by former President Trump’s debate performance and his inability to resist taking the bait from Vice President Harris on side issues such as people leaving his rallies early.
GOP lawmakers fear Trump’s irate rants onstage will be the main takeaway for many undecided voters who tuned into the 90-minute debate, and some senators are hesitating over whether Trump should even agree to another one.
GOP senators are also distancing themselves from Trump’s false claim that he won the 2020 election, which he repeated Tuesday evening.
And they feel bewildered by his wild claim that immigrants are eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio, which came in response to a question about why he opposed a bipartisan Senate bill to secure the border.
“She was well-prepared and she didn’t have to keep repeating the same thing,” said one Republican senator, who requested anonymity to vent frustration about Harris’s solid performance and Trump’s lack of discipline.
“Everybody says: Be more disciplined. It’s just not him,” the lawmaker sighed.

If so, and that’s a big if, said anonymous senators didn’t pay attention to the debate.
Senators have no idea what the people want. That’s why not one of them is willing to shut down the government for even 2 hrs. Trump is angry because he loves the country. In short, Kamala is what the politicians and pundits want to see and Trump is what the people want to see. I’m sure this anonymous Senator thought going with Haley, Desantis or Pence was the way to go and they lost by 40-80 pts. Jusy more proof they are not inline with the voters.
He’s going to win and the whole Swamp will have to deal with it, starting with GOPe, because he’s going to deal with them.
Revenge has a lot of flavors. The flavor that is the most devastating is the event that happens to you that no one takes credit for and is a magnitude 10X more than anything you did to them.
It’s coming. Quietly.
I’m so disappointed that I’m going to eat a cat!
Trump is close to breaking both the Republican Party and the Democrat Party and for that I am forever grateful. After he wins his 3rd presidential election on 11/5, his lasting legacy will be to create a Third political way comprised of MAGA and all those disgusted with today’s politics.
No I don’t agree with them. I have to ask, how immature is anyone to think it should affect your vote, just because in a debate he answered the question.
It’s meaningless.
What they’re really saying is doesn’t he know that he was supposed to evade the question and give a different answer.
As much as I would like to see a sharper debate performance, isn’t this really because Trump is honest and just answers what he’s confronted with?
Another way of looking at it, if the question was stupid, why doesn’t that expose her?
So he answered about his rallies. She’s the one who brought it up. Wasn’t she wasting everyone’s time?
I am frustrated by the abominable performance of RINOcrat senators.
Put out a story in breaking news that anonymous Democratic senators are disgusted the Kamala got her position by being a whore. One unnamed senator remarked that she was just disgusted when she imagines to things Kamala was doing for Willie Brown.
Trump is not a politician and his supporters don’t want him to be. Mr. Annonymitt needs to retire and let a reap person take his place.
Sounds like Linda again.
Face it GOP senators for the most part are of the establishment (swamp). Their support of Trump has been tepid at best.
Note: it is GOP. Not conservative. Just those hiding behind a label.
I'm looking at you, Mitch.
I heard that the obamas are voting for Trump thru annoymous democrats
Which GOP senators?
I remember that weeks before and even the last few hours before the debate, that all republican pundits and advisors, recommended that he avoid taking the bait and to be calm and listen and respond, without interrupting or making faces or looking angry Trump did as recommended. Now, post-debate, those ‘advisors’ are forgetting their own advise to Trump and faulting him for actually doing as they recommended.
Trump can’t win with the wishy-washy republican pundits. Trump needs to go back to being the Trump that won the White House and the one we all know as a fighter. Fight, fight, fight. None of that be kind sort of stuff. Get mean, even if he gets called out on it. He makes more points and sense when he fights back.
Well, at least the democommies are cohesive. Kamelanin could have stood there and proclaimed the moon was made of cream cheese right above the cloud storage today because yesterday wasn’t today and they would have supported her. Even if she said nothing subsiti.........oh. She DIDN’T say anything of substance.
Just what is wrong with these “anonymous” nitwits? Their performance in their jobs has been abysmal. Likely they voted FOR the various bills that gave the DIM losers trillions of taxpayer dollars money to thrown around to friends and family. identify yourselves so that you can be retired ASAP. What anti-civilization dregs... All I wish you, family and friends is bad outcomes.
Those blow hard GOPee Senators haven’t done a damn thing to help Trump. They are a gigantic waste of time and as far as I’m concerned they’re all POS.
