Jim alluded to Trump’s over-night tweet-storm:

This guarantees that — barring events — Trump’s flailing reaction to the debate will be the story through Sunday morning. It’s not that he doesn’t have a point about Machado — he does — but prosecuting this gains him nothing, and in fact hurts him. He might have lost the debate on points, but he’s losing the post-debate in a rout. I’m assuming that for everyone on the Trump campaign besides the candidate himself, Tuesday night’s conversation-changing vice-presidential debate can’t get here soon enough.
