“He is like one of those big balloons when you stick a pin in and it swirls around the room until it comes down to nothing.”
— Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), talking about Donald Trump on CNN.
…
Charlie Sykes: “At his rallies, Trump can get away with his signature lies and tantrums of grievance—and with not saying much at all about actual policy plans. In his softball interviews with fawning right-wing hosts, he can ramble and lie without fear of being challenged. At the presidential debate, though, it didn’t work. So he has decided to blame everybody but himself…”
“But it wasn’t the moderators or the network, or even Harris, who forced Trump to begin ranting that ‘they’re eating the dogs!’ That was all Trump.”
…
“Can someone give this guy a cognitive test? It’s not clear to me that he’s actually mentally fit to do the job.”
— House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), quoted by CNN, on Donald Trump’s performance in this week’s debate.
…
Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales endorsed Kamala Harris in Politico, warning that Donald Trump is “perhaps the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation.”
…
Matt Labash: “At least it was if you’re the sort of person who is into watching Donald Trump get humiliated — a club of which I am a proud member.”
“And why not be? If you weren’t enamored with either candidate in the first place (though Momala is growing on me as a capable knife-fighter, who is at least temporarily doing a passable impression of a moderate Democrat), but you regard Trump as a metastatic case of ass cancer in the body politic, well then watching him get poleaxed on a debate stage might be one of your few remaining political pleasures.”
…
“This is not the worst debate performance I’ve seen in my career, but it’s very close to it. The conversations about people eating dogs and cats, calling the leader of Hungary one of the greatest world leaders, repeatedly missing the opportunity to focus on inflation and affordability, and the complete inability to present his point of view without completely tearing into her, into Joe Biden, into whomever was in his sights. It was a pretty negative performance, pretty pessimistic, cynical, contemptuous. And I think that this will cost him, yes. I’m trying to decide if I wanna go on record, and the answer’s yes. I think that he loses because of this debate performance.”
— GOP pollster Frank Luntz, talking about Donald Trump on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
