I wish it mattered. I wish facts and functional debate mattered more than racism, bigotry, and fear of others. People who vote for him do so not because of his ability in discourse.
The people who vote for him don't read, they barely understand segments on TV - they understand the big picture from sound bites and short videos. The debates just broke Trump into the worst possible clips imaginable and will definitely trickle into the feeds of some ardent followers who will question why their man looked stupid when usually he looks so smart. It will show the deplorables their leader IS that dumb.
Until last night, I thought sometimes Trump was being maybe 1% strategic by behaving like one of these goofballs that votes for him. After watching him debate with the moderators using "I SAW IT ON TV" as an argument, I think he is one of them.
Trump famously watched a lot of Fox News while in the white house. I think in the logs it was called “private time” or something.
