He\u2019s on a mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump campaign insiders and Republican observers said they believe he won on several issues, notably taxes, inflation and immigration. But they also agreed that it\u2019s Biden\u2019s performance that will be remembered by voters more than Trump\u2019s controlled demeanor and answers.<\/p>\n<p>Former Republican Party spokesman Doug Heye, for example, told Secrets that the smell of failure came early when Biden campaign officials started leaking the excuse that the president had a cold and was tested for COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo things early on tell you this was a terrible night for Biden: Trump saying \u2018I didn\u2019t understand a word of that last sentence and he probably didn\u2019t either\u2019 (and viewers agreeing) and the Biden staff saying he has a cold. Making excuses for your candidate during the debate is a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pollster Jeremy Zogby said that Trump started off well but took the bait when Biden stumbled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump started off the debate testing the waters. His opening was a toned-down version of the Trump we know. But then Trump the barracuda smelled blood, and unleashed a barrage of policy and character attacks hoping to stupefy Biden,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Biden was already stupefied. Trump returned to his familiar self. And the debate devolved. Neither really had a vision for the country. Biden was nearly incomprehensible. Trump looked better because he was intelligible,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>McLaughlin said Trump will continue to run like an underdog, hitting as many states as possible in the five months left until Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got 130 days to go. We\u2019re running like we\u2019re behind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The pollster confirmed that Trump said two years ago that he didn\u2019t want to run again, but felt compelled to after watching Biden dismantle much of his agenda. When McLaughin presented Trump polling showing that most Republicans wanted him to return, he advised that Trump focus on Biden and not the other GOP candidates.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump did and won the nomination and still has that focus.<\/p>\n<p>McLaughin said, \u201cI said, if you can, if you want to win the nomination, and all these people are running against you, what you have to do is beat Joe Biden and if you\u2019re beating Joe Biden you win the nomination.
