Trump’s debate performance was so disastrous, the media should spend the next month questioning his advanced age and ability to do the job while party leaders meet privately with Trump to pressure him to exit the race — for the good of his party, the country and his legacy.

All. Of. This!

She won the debate the moment they both walked out on stage and SHE walked over to HIS podium, reached out her hand and said, "have a good debate." That knocked him off guard.

And, of course, "conservatives" are saying all kinds of crazy things this morning. ABC News gave her the questions ahead of time. Muir and Davis only fact checked him. She never explained her policies. (Like he explained policies 😂) Etc. Its the same old story. If he didn't win, then the Democrats must have cheated.

As always, Jamie, thank you for all you do. Without you, I would have never seen that Cuomo story.

Yes! That Cuomo story was not on my radar without Jamie.

When people tell me they like Trump’s policies I always say “What policies?” Now I can respond with “You mean ‘concepts of a plan’”

Explain to me again how a “law abiding citizen “ was a victim after entering the Capital by going through a police barricade, trying to go through a locked door by breaking the glass , and when the police instructed her to stop and had their weapons drawn?

45's "Concepts of a plan" healthcare plan is nine years in the making. I find it interesting that the MAGA can write a 900 page manifesto on how to "save democracy" in a few short years but have NOTHING to "fix" healthcare. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness indeed!

I still remember that interview where they had a binder in 2020 with their "plan" and the reporter opened it and found blank pages. Like...how is that not being played on repeat now?

“Last week, Trump admitted he lost in 2020. Last night, he walked that back and again claimed the election was stolen.”

Come on, be fair. He said he was being sarcastic, much the same as when he asked about injecting bleach and lightbulbs up… well, an orafice. And not just sarcastic… but funny!

What’s funnier than hundreds of thousands dying of COVID? That was a real laugh riot.

Or the ruination of thousands of cultists, not to mention the hundreds of cops who were injured as the Constitution itself was being defecated on… well, the jokes just write themselves.

The thing is, as stupid as that sounds, is there anyone here who doubts his magats will believe every word?

You didn’t have to write a single word about the debate, just take a look at the ticker… this loser’s cultists are sprinting away from his garbage stock as fast as their racist little feet can take them, down 16% right now:

I've been looking forward to this newsletter today for a month. I go to sleep too early to watch the debate, so you were my first read.

I hope that Arlington request goes through.

This is my first read too! Keep doing good work Jamie!

He really gets to the facts and perspectives without sensationalism. I enjoy having that be my first read to keep me grounded. I assume that's a similar reason for you.

At least his hair looked better than usual.

Republicans can now and forever thank Mitch McConnell for having a worthless leader. They all deserve their fate.
