Official Trump/Harris debate commentary thread

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Mercy. I’ve probably been a part of 500 contentious hearings? More? He’d be in the top 5 percent of the worst

Can you imagine the party they are having at Harris HQ right now?

 

[WhyisIUBBcursed]

Halftime. I can't possibly imagine what Coach could say in the locker room to turn this around.

This is the 28-0 deficit where coach says “let’s play for pride, boys”

His polling must say to hell with moderates and independents.

Fck. Tears of joy

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

I don't think he listens to polling. I think it's voices in his head at this point.

 

[DANC]

No debate moderator has ever been praised for his or her objectivity, no matter what. You can't win that one.

But however bad ABC is, Trump is doing this to himself tonight.

CNN and Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were very good and Trump had no complaints.

But Trump is playing defense when he should be on offense.

He's literally crapped all over himself. No more geezers pls

 

[Stuffshot]

Basically, they're letting Harris ramble on with the usual talking points. Trump's problem is he's playing defense, when he should be attacking the Biden/Harris record.

ABC never cuts off Harris, but they've cut off Trump several times.

As long as the 'debate' is a litany of Democrat complaints about Trump, it's pretty obvious Trump doesn't have a chance, and he's not helping himself much.

Just exactly how can Trump "help himself"?

He's actually said so many stupid things that he can't possibly start sounding as smart as William F. Buckley all of a sudden.

Kier Starmer took over in the UK at 61, and he was the oldest new Prime Minister in almost 50 years.

 

[snarlcakes]

Harris in the Oval and a split Congress is probably the best outcome for our nation. Keeps us on life support for at least another four years.

You’re a liberal. Why would you not want to win all 3?

 

[mcmurtry66]

I mean I’m shocked how bad he’s been. And she’s playing it perfectly. And I cannot stand her but her demeanor etc is perfect

 

[Marvin the Martian]

I don't think he listens to polling. I think it's voices in his head at this point.

Notice how quickly his vote in Florida changed once he saw his polling among conservatives. He pays very close attention to how much people love him

 

[Aloha Hoosier]

Trump will end Ukraine war even before he's inaugurated

That one always kills me. It would be illegal for him to negotiate it. Is he promising to commit a crime?

 

[BCCHoosier]

Dude speaks in platitudes only.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

You’re a liberal. Why would you not want to win all 3?

Because I'm a lot of things, and a liberal is only one of them.

 

[UncleMark]

He's gone nuts right in front of the world.

he could bring up his golf prowess

maybe talk about her ball handling?

How can you tell what Trump is doing?

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Oh snap. Harris: "I do believe Trump would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, because he'd just give it up."

 

[Marvin the Martian]

Senate and president.

 

[hoosboot]

Oh snap. Harris: "I do believe Trump would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, because he'd just give it up."

That one was harsh.

 

[IU_Hickory]

She didn’t answer the questions and they didn’t try a second time to get an answer.

They also didn't repeat the fact checks when Trump doubled down on lying

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Not to belabor a point everyone has already made or is planning on making soon, but it's really another sign of how smart the Dems were to kick their old fart to the curb. Harris is mediocre at best, but she's still better than anyone 25 years her senior.

 

[UncleMark]

"(Putin would) eat you for lunch."

 

[kurt cloverdales]

Muir , gives into trump, lets him off without answering the question.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Senate and president.

Ideally, yes. Keep the Senate, let the GOP have the House. I'm not sure we can keep the Senate, though, so that will be tough.

 

[BCCHoosier]

Only Trump thinks about nuclear weapons. No one else.

 

[Noodle]

This is the 28-0 deficit where coach says “let’s play for pride, boys”

Can they shorten the second half or go to a running clock?

For sure. Im waiting for him to scream YOU FCKING BITCH!!!!

 

[UncleMark]

She's killing him on Ukraine and Putin.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Oh, he is saying that in his head, you know he is.

 

[hoosboot]

Forward progress was definitely stopped...keep that clock running!

 

[UncleMark]

She's killing him on Ukraine and Putin.

And he pivots to NATO paying up.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Afghanistan now. A chance for Trump to actually score.

right Trump is so damn stupid you just have to be able to respond and call out his lies and ignorance, she's capable of that, Biden was not

 

[Noodle]

CNN and Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were very good and Trump had no complaints.

But Trump is playing defense when he should be on offense.

Maybe he should start with being lucid and sane.

"(Putin would) eat you for lunch."

this beatdown is worse than what we did to Western Illinois Saturday

 

[BCCHoosier]

Afghanistan now. A chance for Trump to actually score.

Don't think he's capable.

 

[DANC]

Afghanistan now. A chance for Trump to actually score.

Not when they let her ramble on

 

[dr.jb]

For sure. Im waiting for him to scream YOU FCKING BITCH!!!!

he's gonna go full BK and run over and choke her
