Detroit News: Trump in debate failed to recover from disaster

Destroyed. Dead. Done.

That’s the status of Donald Trump’s campaign following the worst weekend for a presidential candidate ever.

He walked onto the stage of Washington University in St. Louis Sunday night needing to erase his words captured on an 11-year-old videotape, strategically released to coincide with the debate, that served as a primer of sorts for molesting women.

He didn’t deliver.

are just as absurd as his stupid birther comments. If a special prosecutor from a Repug congress can't find any criminal activity, WTF does he think he's talking about? Also, he finally pandered to the dumb side of the repuglican party by saying he'll cut taxes, social programs, and every other stupid useless talking point they have been using since Ronnie Raygun. Yawn

I believe that they tend to favor conservative candidates so this is a significant slam on Trump.

"Trump’s troubles now are too large for even a sterling debate performance to solve."

The piece isn't saying that he had a great performance. Just that it didn't matter. Something to remember when seeing stories that suggest Trump won last night's debate with his unhinged approach.
