Trump tells Fox and Friends that Hillary earned a "C," and Cruz and Rubio were "tougher" in debates

Trump called into his favorite morning "news" show, Fox and Friends, to criticize the beauty pageant contestant he ridiculed, who "gained a tremendous amount of weight" (like 25-30 pounds apparently -- that qualifies her for endless pit-downs by Trump about her looking like "Miss Piggy," and calling her "Housekeeping" (she is latina), and to bitch about how he was mistreated by Lester Holt, and to complain that he is being evaluated unfairly by the press today. He did a much better job in the debate than Hillary -- he claims. Oh yeah, and his microphone was sabotaged -- he is saying today that his microphone was sabotaged because the audience was laughing appropriately at his comments and for other, much more vague reasons. On CNN one of the journalists who was in the hall last night said that Trump's microphone was working just fine.

So despite all of Trump's obvious failings last night, he gives Hillary a grade of "C" for the debate. Lmfao.

I love how The Chump bombed the debate, knows he bombed it hence the flurry of defensive tweets and phone calls this morning (and no doubt blathering from his paid surrogates tonight), yet calls up Fox and Friends offering up a mediocre grade for his opponent. Of course he mentioned several times that Cruz and Rubio were tougher opponents (Cruz by the way did NOT praise Trump's performance but thanked him and said voters need to remember that big bad Hillary will make SCOTUS appointments if she is elected. More non-praise "praise" from Cruz). I think we all know why Trump says that those two men were "much tougher" than Clinton, despite the fact she cleaned his clock.

The guy is not prone to humility. The fact he did not try to claim total and absolute victory is a sign in itself.

He judges women on their appearance, tenants by their race, etc.

Self-judgment? NO.
