    1. I think that was, knowingly or unknowingly, part of Trump's goal last night-- not so much to win new voters but create such a squalid spectacle that voting itself seems like a hopeless gesure.https://twitter.com/lionel_trolling/status/1311314023640641537 …

        2. The other thing Trump was trying to do was splinter the Democratic coalition. His understanding of politics is that you win by uniting your party & dividing your rivals, which he did in 2016. He thinks (wrongly I suspect) he did that last night. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1311297684540620801 …

        3. I don't think Trump achieved either goal (of discouraging Dems & splintering them) because his own need to keep his base united gave his opponents plenty of reason to vote & stay united. The Proud Boys moment was crucial. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/cnn-debate-chris-wallace/ …

        1. I don't think he succeeded and it's more likely that Trump leaners are discouraged

        Knowingly. Winning the pop vote or the electoral college fairly is not even part of the game plan anymore.

        No. I think he tried, and failed, to rattle Biden into a gaffe. Trump does not seem to think ahead.

        There's really not any more to it than this. Trump got agitated because Biden was criticizing him and his strategy wasn't working.
