Dan Balz: “Trump is often judged by his curveballs in debates. He is credited with dominating the debate stage, especially in the 2016 debates with his Republican opponents. His mistakes, distortions, lies, and rudeness are often ignored, as expected.”
“His performance against Biden in Atlanta was anything but impressive. He spewed out misstatements and outright lies that exhausted fact-checkers. He deflected harsher criticism because Biden’s performance was so astonishingly weak. Now that Biden is gone, the spotlight will be on Trump in a way it never was before, and more attention will be focused on his consistency, or lack thereof, as a candidate.”
“Ahead of Tuesday’s event, Trump faces a series of tests of self-discipline, knowledge, age and acuity, general temperament, and the way he handles issues of race and gender. Over the past six weeks, he has repeatedly failed these tests.”
