The political maxim that if you’re explaining, you’re losing was lit up incandescently by former President Donald Trump’s debate implosion. 

He should have spent all 90 minutes debunking Vice President Kamala Harris’s ludicrous claim to represent change from the dire governance for which she’s been jointly responsible since 2021. She pretends she dropped freshly out of a coconut tree and has nothing to do with 3 in 4 voters thinking the country is on the wrong track.
