This was a big win for Trump. Biden came across as weak and mentally frail.
It was so bad that his campaign is claiming he had a cold. Even Never Trumpers are seeing this as a disaster for Biden. The drum beat for Biden to drop out or be replaced is going to grow. Democrats are besides themselves.
Trump was on his game. This format worked out for him. The lack of talk-over worked to Trump’s advantage. Substantively he was on message of how the open border is destroying the country. Again and again Trump went right after Biden.

The debate will begin at 9 p.m. Eastern and will take place at a CNN studio in Atlanta.
I’m covering it for Mary, who refused a direct order. She says she is sick. Sure.
Anyway, I’m not going to try to keep up with the back and forth, but will post some highlights below as they happen.
There really is only one thing you need to know: CNN. Actually, another thing: CNN. The deck is stacked. Prediction: The Debate will be Trump v. CNN.
Even Never Trumper Tom sees what’s happening
