MSNBC panel amazed as Trump's team does 'Trumpiest things I've ever heard' ahead of debate
In the pre-game of Tuesday's debate, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace and analyst John Heilemann noticed former President Donald Trump's campaign made odd excuses for him before he even stepped on stage.
Wallace noted in an earlier segment it was surprising to see Trump's advisers in the pages of The New York Times acknowledging they fear Trump can't control himself.
Heilemann called it one of the "Trumpiest things I've ever heard." The campaign trashed Vice President Kamala Harris while trashing its own candidate.

"Any of the candidates that we've covered, every one of them has tried to spin expectation before a debate," he explained. "How do you do that? How they always do it. My rival, my opponent, is so good as a debater, is so brilliant, is so strong I will be lucky if I survive this debate, right? Lowering expectations for yourself."
Trump's team has said that Harris is "so stupid that Donald Trump won't be able to contain his contempt for her."
Heilemann said that only Trump would try to explain away his bad behavior by blaming it on someone else "while they take a crap on her."
"I mean, really, I've never seen anything like that before, but it is so Trumpy. It just blows my mind," said Heilemann.
Wallace said she had another take when she saw the comment.
"I think some of it might be in the eye of the beholder because I saw it when they were talking about him like he was an untrained male puppy who couldn't help but pee on the fire hydrant," said Wallace.
They also plan to explain away his bad behavior; if he behaves badly, it's because she's so dumb that he can't control himself. It's an amazing way they really are trying to have it both ways on that, right?" Heilemann closed.
