CNN contributor and former Republican Senator Rick Santorum shot President Donald Trump directly after the first presidential debate, saying he « went wild » with a chaotic and erratic performance that would make more difficult the victory of the republicans downstream
As a CNN panel discussed the fallout from the debate, which, according to two snap polls, was won by Democratic candidate Joe Biden, Santorum acknowledged that Trump’s show could have negative spillover effects on the rest of his party
Trump needed to change the dynamics tonight and I think he just stepped up the momentum, ”CNN analyst David Axelrod observed « I have a feeling Donald Trump knows he’s losing on some level and I think he’s angry about it and I think he’s been angry »
« If I were an elected Republican candidate for the election I would be pretty mad at him, » Santorum said, calling Trump « He allowed himself – he let himself go, to the detriment – of the woman quoted in Ohio « I liked a lot of things he said » I don’t think it’s a center-left country I think it’s a center-right country We can win with a campaign right-wing center, but you can’t when you have someone as caustic as what the president was in this debate A lot of Republicans will be upset We have a winning message, a contrast and we had a candidate who didn’t did not do well in Biden, but Donald Trump went mad «
In response, CNN presenter Anderson Cooper blurted out a comment with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek: « This is unusual because he is known to be so restrained to satisfy his appetites »
