I also wonder what the evidently sky-high expectations of the harshest critics were, because Trump has participated in dozens of "debates" since 2015 and as best I can recall, no one, Republican or Democrat has effectively demolished him because the truth means nothing to him and he has zero shame.

It's almost impossible for anyone to deal with a Gish Gallop, which is what Trump was doing. The tactic was named back in the 1990s. when creationists were using it. I've been thinking about writing a post about it, because many people weren't around for that.

I didn't have "ski-high" expectations. I was just hoping my candidate wouldn't freeze up or segue from an answer on abortion to a comment about undocumented migrants.

Biden was widely viewed as having won the first 2020 debate with shouty, covidy Trump.
