DAVID AXELROD: I think that this, as a production, you know, I think they're doing pretty well to be honest with you. President Trump is a television man. This is a reality show. He's used all the techniques of reality shows. There was hunks of high-cholesterol red meat stuffed within image-softening buns. There will be plenty for fact checkers to be working on for days to come based on both what they said about Trump’s record and Biden’s record.
