    Loses and declares victory anyway citing cherry picked information and ignoring everything else. I think I’ve seen this before. His reality distortion field is weakening though. Only the truly deranged are buying it now.

    Oh and “I did amazing and they cheated so I lost.” Can’t even keep the lie up for a full tweet.

        “Seeing the results among independents and evangelicals” = “I won the debate if you ask people who already support me.”

        Just more proof he thinks only the people who agree with him count as people.

        He just decided to stop the count. Directly after the debate, like so quickly that no human could have pushed the buttons in that amount of time, several informal polls showed him winning by a lot.

        I wonder how that happened (he said sarcastically).

        Edit: a letter

    lightweight “anchors”

    Why do I feel like he’s been clutching at straws ever since Biden withdrew from the election?

      He was bitching about not being able to run against Biden so much at the debate that Harris eventually had to tell him she isn’t Joe Biden.

        She should have complimented him for not seeing race and gender by thinking she was an old white guy.

    Okay, so surely you’re eager to do two more debates since you were the best debater ever, everyone is saying it?

    I think he generally has a problem with live debates because everyone involved is in the same room and can respond directly and on equal footing. For this one needs at least some arguments that actually correspond to reality.

    On Musk’s Twitter, he doesn’t need to worry about having to answer the unpleasant question why the moderators (and Harris) have repeatedly corrected his statements. He just talks about people, not to them. This is cowardly, childish and unworthy of any politician, especially a presidential candidate.

    It’s sad that a considerable proportion of citizens no longer seem to recognize that politics is about more than unfounded accusation and entertainment.
