I think they'll conclude that more damage was done to Trump's chances of winning by Vance's debate performance than by his own failure. If you look at the kind of reaction he got from independents and "undecided" voters, one thing that was very clear is that he didn't add a single vote to the base. Even some of the more clueless responses were put off by his twisting of facts and insertion of lies, and if you caught it, the attempt to associate her name with everything he thinks is a negative on the Democratic side, even some things that are obvious benefits to her.

There seems to be a general conclusion that he hinted, not always so subtly, that it's going to be handed over to him and he might do things a little differently. Handed over as in the not too distant future.
