The conventional wisdom about the Tuesday debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is that the latter was driven to a state of anger, agitation, and general incoherence. And the left is loving it.
In fairness, Trump's middling performance can be blamed in part on the change in his co-star: to continue with the showbiz analogies, Trump had been rehearsing with (or, well, against) Biden for years, and in his absence, the former president was like a veteran thespian suddenly saddled with an understudy.
Indeed, Trump's best lines on Tuesday were not directed against Harris but his absent former co-star Biden, about whom Trump has developed such a finely honed routine that he can rattle it off extemporaneously and intuitively.
Trump's best lines were funny and targeted Biden, yet much of his debate performance came off as unruly and unfocused, reflecting a chaotic but revealing demeanor.
