People will point to today as the day Donald Trump lost the election. Any independent or battleground state voters who are not racist will find it impossible to vote for Trump following today's debacle. Vance's crazy comments the other day insulting women without children had already hurt Trump's chances and today made things much worse. 

The election was Trump's to lose following Biden's horrible debate performance. His decision to step down would have not been enough for the Democrats to win since Harris was an unpopular V.P. who was rarely given the spotlight. All he had to do was select a decent V.P. and refrain from making stupid comments which insult the majority of voters. He failed on both counts! The Republican ticket has lost thousands of previously undecided women and people of color and there is nothing they can do win them back. 

All the Republicans had to do to take back the White House was get rid of Trump and nominate someone with solid conservative values that this party is proud of. Instead, the cowards on Capital Hill (Graham, Cruz, McConnell,Johnson,  etc.) got behind the man they had previously expressed contempt for. They just didn't have it in them to do what Liz Cheney, Adam Kensinger and very few others did which was to basically give up the power and perks they had grown accustomed to. These sycophants will come to regret their total lack of integrity and will be treated very unkindly by historians in the future.

I'm curious what was a debacle about today. The debacle you speak of feels pretty one sided on social media. What exactly did Trump do to hurt himself in swing states?

Trump could not hide his contempt for Black people. Watch it and tell me that this is not true. I have enough faith in the American people that they do not want to re-elect a person with his views. As I said before, the Republicans had an opportunity to nominate a candidate without Trump's personal flaws. Glenn Youngkin and Nikki Haley are 2 examples of Republicans who would have likely easily defeated Biden or Harris.
