I've been pretty critical of Trump's strategy lately but I think the debate was him at his recent best. Funny moments, high energy, successfully avoided a lot of landmines. Seems like people wanted him to be washed out and "reserved" or something but he actually went off script. I personally prefer this version of Trump. He wasn't overly nasty or anything but didn't make it boring either. You could tell his words were his own and not written by a focus group.

40,000 ft view. Harris did just good enough not to be swapped out for big Mike. The strategy was obviously to get Trump to respond to lies. This was a good thing, believe it or not. Lots of people tuning in for the first time. He debunked most of the lies. Canceling out much of their future attacks. This also gave more fodder for the Kamala now and then campaign ads.
I noticed what scared the moderators was the pet eating and the late term abortion. Giving good items to go forward on.
It’s always easier to come up with Trump should have said when you are not on the stage. But I wish at during the closing remarks that he would have said: I am the peace and prosperity president and the prosperity will be way greater in my next term.
your first sentence made me laugh out loud.
