Blames Mike Pence.
In reality, Mike Pence was the best thing to happen to the Trump campaign.
And in fairness to Trump, he did have a faulty mic for the first debate, undoubtedly engineered by
the biased, corrupt debate officials.
I don't think Trump will blame Mike Pence. I agree with your second sentence wholeheartedly; he's the best thing to ever happen to the Trump campaign.
Trump's not a strong Christian; he may not be saved at all. But Trump, I firmly believe, has respect for Evangelicals. They're unfamiliar to him, and they don't inspire the contempt in him that the familiar tends to bring out in people. In Mike Pence, a low-key but sincere Christian, I believe Trump has actually found someone in the political world that he actually has respect for. That's because Pence has respect for Trump without sucking up or being dependent on Trump. Pence, like Trump, risked something of value to be on the ticket, and I think Trump realizes this.
I find Pence to be the most admirable of the six (6) folks running on the 3 top tickets. I find Weld and Kaine to be admirable, far more than their ticket leaders. About the best thing I can say about this election is that if Trump loses, Pence will be the frontrunner for the 2020 GOP nomination.
