Tuesday’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris was “devastating” for former president Donald Trump, argues Mike Madrid, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican group.
“I don’t think there’s any question. I think this was a devastating debate for Donald Trump,” Madrid told CNN’s Anna Coren. Trump rarely delivers on policy, Madrid said; instead, he usually scores points with his style of rhetoric.
Not tonight. “This was an old, tired performance from a feeble old man who’s suffering from mental decline,” Madrid said, adding that Harris overwhelmingly won the debate.
Harris, on the other hand, had a tall task to master, and she did it, he said. “She needed to be not only presidential, she needed to be somewhat endearing,” he said.
“It was a remarkable political performance.”
