Harris should bait him again:

"If Trump is too scared to show up to debate me, then I'll just use that time for a town hall with a crowd that doesn't get bored and leave half way through".

Duh she chewed him up and spit him out. He feels defeated and doesn't want to be beaten even worse.

Funny how he claims he somehow won this debate, and yet for some strange reason will be replacing his campaign staff. That's not the actions of a winner. Maybe he should be taking a closer look at the real loser.

He's replacing his campaign staff? Lol

There's been some discussion already. Also the fact that any time things go wrong for Trump, he starts firing people and blaming them for his own failures. I'm just sitting here watching with the popcorn.

I just realized what Trump means when he says “horrible people” — those are people who don’t protect him from himself.

Some of his “horrible people” will therefore be truly incompetent, and some will be people who are unwilling to put him above all else, or who were in the wrong place when he messed up so badly that it couldn’t be salvaged.

Nice, I'll have to remember that.

Maybe if he had bigger shoulder pads in his jacket he'd have more confidence.

There’s no need. We got plenty of jokes and meme material the first time. Just “I have the concept of a plan” is priceless.

Watching that made me so hungry, had to order delivery of some Kentucky fried kitten.

Trump corncobbed lmfao

"THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" Trump said... ..."When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, 'I WANT A REMATCH,'" Trump wrote in his post, explaining his decision and insisting unnamed polls showed he won.

Some drubs you never recover from

I'm not surprised but honestly it's really in his interest more than hers to have another debate. I mean that was nearly perfect from her. Why would you want to have another one and potentially mess it up? I mean hell even Obama had a bad debate. It happens. That's why we used to have at least three so one good performance couldn't take the whole thing.

Fine, have her debate Stein and West

It would be in his interest to debate again and recoup the loss. With a bit of coaching he can probably bridge the gap a bit (but Harris would likely still come on top). Harris only looked good in comparison, but she was overall still pretty awful.

Yeah I was really frustrated that she wouldn't answer the damn questions
