      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/ …

          Many thanks for the piece. But on reflection today, do you really think he “eked out a win”?

          I’m afraid Biden may have split the left a little more though... he went low. Those who have no faith in the system were not reassured.

          Interesting how shocked people are at the proud boys comment. it's not as if he's been hiding his white supremacist views all this time.

          he didn't achieve either goal last night because Democrats had already succeeded quite well on their own in suppressing enthusiasm and dividing themselves.

          Except Biden had a record amount of donations in the first hour of the debate and raised almost $10m during the 3 hours. Republican groups like the Lincoln Group are actively campaigning against Trump. There is no shortage of enthusiasm to remove Trump.

          I think what he accomplished was once again controlling the news cycle. While his failure to renounce white nationalism is breathlessly reported today, the bigger story of his criminal tax evasion gets forgotten by most.
