Donald Trump told Thursday night’s debate audience that his Secret Service code name would be “Humble,” and he’s since proceeded to at least try to imitate someone who’s capable of humility. In his comparatively low-key victory laps Thursday night and Friday morning, he claimed that polls showed he won the debate, but he also praised CNN’s moderators and most of his rivals, telling MSNBC’s “Morning Joe:” “I thought there was nobody that did poorly.”Of course he got in some digs. “I thought [Jeb Bush] did very well,” Trump allowed, but then he lowered a passive aggressive (for Trump) boom: “I thought he was going to push me harder to apologize to his wife.” So did everyone, Donald, so did everyone. That was a classy, almost humble way to insult Bush’s manhood.
