Debate reaction thread

Media tomorrow will suck.

Yeah. The MSM will be having orgasms about how well she did.

She didn't implode the way I'd hoped. Of course every word out of her filthy mouth was a lie, but those who want to believe them will.

Ah, excellent Trump... "All these plans..."
"Why didn't she already do it."

That was his high point. At least it closed with that lingering thought.

Hannity: "The biggest loser in this debate is ABC." Basically that ABC gave Harris a pass on most issues.

Loved his earlier words about her switching policies... "I was going to send her a MAGA hat" LOLOL

Trump threw a little of that in early on, but he (IMO) wasn't prepped enough for this debate. First, he simply threw out 21% as the figure for inflation without explaining that's cumulative since Jan 2020. So Camala was able to scoff at it. And in fact, the total cumulative inflation rate is 23%.

Trump is too scattered, which has led him to be reactive, not proactive. I believe he didn't think he needed to do any serious preparation for this debate...and it will likely be the only debate the two have. I think he made a mistake. He's been swimming against the current--from Camala and the "moderators"--all night.

Closing statements are up now. Trump gets the last word. Let's hope he has something well rehearsed and doesn't try to just wing it.

Hate to say it, but for those small numbers of truly undecided voters, I don't think the Donald did himself any great favors tonight.

Yes he lost at some of the issue but I think what he lost on wasn’t that big of a deal. If he lost the last election and abortion aren’t what most Americans care about and won’t change their mind. Did she win? Yes I think so.

I was really hoping Trump would nail her on hiding Joe's decline. She's pretty well gotten a pass.

ABC is the biggest loser due to their failure to obey their own rules regarding mic control and "fact-checking."

Trump's getting stuck in the past and scattershot approach to many situations means he lost by a hair.

Depressing as all hell, every bit of it. I regret promising my sister I'd watch it with her.

The fix is in, IMO. Kinda feel like it being a female candidate has Trump a little thrown off because if he attacks her, it's perceived more negatively.

And Trump had a perfect opening for that when Harris said, "You aren't running against Joe Biden. You're running against me."

Let’s be honest. In this debate, she kicked his ass.

I’d prefer to watch politicos face off at 10 yards with shotguns, clearly more relevant than this drivel.

 

[skfullgun]

We all know she was lying, but her “performance” appealed to the low IQ voter.

I wouldn't characterize it that way. More like he didn't bring an effective game.

^^^ This.

Anyone with half a brain knows she lied through her teeth on guns, for instance, but Trump, for all his talk, isn't very tough towards Harris when it comes to specifics.

 

[orbitup]

He never focused on the us vs them angle. I think that's what this whole election is about. DC, swap, corruption, vs the outsider they all hate. Even the moderators.

Big missed opportunity

 

[MountainGirl]

Verbally, yes.
But he's got the higher ground where it counts. Hungry people might remember that when it counts.

 

[alternative]

Trump was Trump and not very effective. But let's be honest, are there still stupid people out there that needed this debate to decide their vote?
