An NBC News analyst declared President Donald Trump the winner of the first Democrat presidential debate of the 2020 election season.
Jonathan Allen, who is also an author and reporter, said he was surprised to hear that Trump was “unscathed” while the crowded field of candidates avoided taking direct pot-shots at him.
Allen added most Democrats in the debate wanted to win over far-left primary voters instead of people in the general election pool who could swing the election later in the season.
In his analysis on NBC News, Allen wrote:
For long stretches, it seemed, they completely forgot about the man who has been at the center of pretty much every discussion among Democrats for the last two-plus years — the man they’re competing to take on next year. The obvious reason: The motivation to beat each other was, on this night, more urgent than defeating Trump.
He also said that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) intentionally ignored Trump because “he’s an old show that people are getting tired of.”
His analysis seemed to strike a chord with others on social media, with some on Twitter mentioning that it was a missed opportunity to attack Trump.
Allen later responded with a Thursday afternoon tweet saying that Americans should be “shocked” if the focus of the debate shifts to Trump Thursday evening:

Hang on. I gotta look out the window. I think a pig just flew by.
Eventually Trump will make sure they can’t ignore him, it will be glorious
Jockeying for who is the most Stalinist in this phase. It’s a real vote-getter.
Almost Time For The Dumbo-Crats to Bring On Their "A Team"!
Trump is the elephant in the room. lol!
We’ll see how tired of Trump folks really are in November of 2020.
I suspect the media and the Democrats are about to be gobsmacked once again.
We are (not quite) silently biding our time.
I don’t disagree and...
Didn’t say we were.
Very nice assessment. Getting all these and last nights clowns in one clown car is no mean feat. The uniting of weirdos and perverts are us is a huge undertaking. Just realizing the Clintoons and Olshama got it going is truly amazing.
No, Jonathan Allen is directing the next batch to smear Trump so nobody will notice how lame they are, rather than highlighting their ineptness during the circular firing squad infighting.
Makes sense
A lot of people here last night thought Tooloosi won the debate. Can’t wait to see the general consensus winner tonight. I’m pulling for Heels Up Harris personally, she sounds like a very useful person.
I cracked up when I read about this headline in the New York Times.
Earlier, I was trying to think of some reason that Pelosi finally gave in and did the right thing with the senate’s bill on the border. I think she was under the impression that the three witches in her caucus were more popular than they really are. Their ideas and policies are far left dribble, but she thought they were catching on.
Comes the morning after the dims debate and, behold, NYT and WaPo are both, not only blasting the debate, but also ridiculing it.
I think, at that moment, Nancy decided she had the power to ignore the leftards, and decided to get her troops to vote the proper way. President Trump’s Way.
I won’t watch but maybe Biden can grope his way through the questions.....
I hope FDR goes on TV after the Stock Market Crash of 1929. As Biden said. J-O-B-S - a three-letter word, as Biden said.
If they attack Trump, they unintentionally remind the public why they like him. It’s a high-risk strategy. :)
but I'd be shocked if youdon't hear a lot more...
Sounds contradictory... shocked if Trump is mentioned, shocked if Trump not mentioned
Clown boxing.....round 2
I hope they have another technical glitch.
