Statement on the debate last night:

I haven't changed my mind in the slightest. Donald Trump won the debate. There is no question.

Before anybody calls me delusional or desperate, know a few things...

I have been openly critical the past few years about my opinions about the Trump Campaign's missteps and missed opportunities in this election cycle. I am in no way a Trump cultist. I've even said many times that his performance in the last debate with Biden was not stellar, and it's only the fact that Biden was a total disaster that distracted from the fact that Trump could and should have been more potent at that debate.

Reading and watching commentary from conservatives about last night makes one thing perfectly clear: the majority of conservatives foolishly believed that Kamala wouldn't prepare for the debate. Why? Sorry to be so blunt- but if you honestly believed she was going to show up last night and just cackle and make no sense, shame on you for being so gullible.

Everybody has been asking for months, "why isn't she doing any media?", "why isn't she answering questions?". It seems crystal clear- she's been spending weeks and weeks being coached and prepped for her moment last night.

Is she qualified to become president? No.
Is she smart enough for the job? No.
Is she prepared & knowledgable enough to do this? No.

But the woman is not a shiftless moron. She went to law school, she passed the bar, she became a lawyer.

We know for a fact that she's coachable and capable of memorizing lines. That's what she's spent the last 2 months doing.

But what astonishes me most is that conservatives are acting like she came out last night like Winston Churchill and brought the house down with a policy recitation that will live in infamy.

No such thing happened.

She dodged questions. When asked about one of the most important issue to most voters: border security, she deflected entirely- her entire answer was about Trump's bogus indictments and innuendos about sexual assaults- and of course... Charlottesville and January 6th.

She had no substance, no depth. Her finest moments were in fact... weak. Thin. Flimsy. Well memorized, but absolutely vacuous tropes that did absolutely nothing to illuminate how exactly Kamala Harris is going to make our lives and our country better in 4 years than they are today.

On to Trump.

I never worry about Trump's reactions. I know this is a great source of anxiety for many conservatives- but I don't understand why. This belief that he's going to come unglued because somebody gets under his skin seems to be based on nothing at all that I can see. This isn't to say that I always believe he says the right thing or reacts the way I wish he would. But I can honestly say I have never once in 8 years been watching through my fingers as he's coming unhinged before my eyes. That simply has never happened, and I don't worry that it ever will.

What I worry about with Trump in debate scenarios is his energy- which has been inconsistent in the past. Sometimes we've gotten the quick paced, lightning fast guy who sets the room on fire. Other times we've gotten the soft spoken Trump whose relaxed demeanor lacks the power and punch that's needed in the moment.

He's not up against a walking corpse anymore. Last night I needed him to bring his best energy and his most solid focus... and he DID.

All I'm reading today are comments about how she won because she got under his skin. Preposterous. It was literally the opposite. Last night I watched a guy who took on three opponents at the same time, and handled it with sharp precision and skillful messaging and wit.

On the other hand, it was Kamala who I watched repeatedly become emotional, unnerved, defensive, insecure, and reactionary. Her face oscillated between looking pained and tense to looking lost, helpless, and confused.

So many conservatives were rolling over in defeat starting last night that I began to wonder if I had missed something. So I watched the debate again.

No. I didn't miss anything.

Last night two candidates took the stage to make their case to the American people about why they should be our next Commander in Chief.

Donald Trump identified the problems and the existential threats facing our nation today, and spoke from a place of wisdom and experience, laying out clear and comprehensive plans for what needs to be done to right the ship of America that has been steered so far off course. He was strong, confident, and poised.

Kamala Harris spent the night deflecting, hypocritically telling us again and again that it was time to "turn the page" and "move on" while she spent the entire night referencing thoroughly debunked lies about Charlottesville, J6, bloodbaths, and even the Central Park 5- taking us back 5 to 40+ years all night long, avoiding accountability for her failed vice presidency by reiterating leftist hoax after leftist hoax.

Kamala Harris did not win this debate. Apparently, she surprised a significant number of people by proving that she's capable of memorizing enough superficial talking points to ride out an hour of television programming.

This election will ultimately be decided by convincing enough undecided people which of the two choices they had last night was better for the country.

It will not be decided by MAGA loyalists or post-debate panicked conservatives, and it won't be decided by Trump hating leftists or the crowds of people being bussed in to Kamala's rallies. It will be decided by the people who know that their lives are fundamentally worse today than they were 5 years ago, and who know that last night they were shown a picture of two candidates: one strong, experienced, and ready to give them back the life they had 5 years ago; and one who divides, lies, fear mongers, and deceives.

Again, if you tuned in last night expecting to see Kamala Harris show up as a bumbling unprepared idiot, that's on you. Clearly you haven't been paying attention to the fact that the Democrats will do anything necessary to keep power. That includes coaching and practicing with Harris until she comes across as passable.

And that's all she was last night: passable. Not great. Not exceptional. Not even newsworthy. She was just adequate and nothing more.

So I maintain: Donald Trump won the debate. Hands down.

🚨 BREAKING:
SPRINGFIELD, OHIO UPDATE

During the Presidential debate, fact-checkers at ABC News stated that Donald Trump's claims of the Haitian immigrants "eating dogs and cats" had no credible reports according to the town's city manager.

Over the last 2 days, I've investigated the situation myself interviewing locals. Many claim they've seen what ABC News hasn't. Here's what they said...

Watch this entire video to understand the impact of 20,000+ Haitian immigrants flooding into this tiny Ohio town of 60,000 working-class Americans.

This could be YOUR town very soon.
