...I bet she wins...

That's a pretty safe bet.

There have been way too many people somewhere close to the middle, let's call them the undecided and the "undecided-adjacent", who have said, for way too long, "If given the opportunity, I'd vote for anybody other than Biden or Trump! I can't believe those two chumps are our only choices!"

They've been given another choice and they're going to take it, no matter how bad a choice it actually is. They're going to swing those locations that must be swung and Harris will win.

Well, I'm pretty sure. I won't give odds but I wouldn't hesitate to bet even money on it.

In this race, it's not who you feel will do a good job, it's who sucks less.
I can't stand Trump or Harris, but Trump sucks less so he gets my vote.

These alphabet networks is format needs to be abandoned.

FIFY

I used to think that CNN was the absolute worst, but now it's like the others are competitng to see who can be truly abysmal.

I'm talking about all voters.

The only change last night was a few leftists heard her support Israel, support private health insurance, support fracking and say she isn't taking guns away. They won't like that.

I seriously doubt she gained a single Trump vote with those lies.

Again, the target audience for these things isn’t all voters; the target audience is only those voters in a swing state that are undecided.

Performance art.

Computer models have provided the data the political machines need to target their local machines. They know exactly what districts are in-play, how many votes are needed to swing them, and which, when won, will impact results.

Expect a strong ground game from Dems in those areas. Efforts to register emotionally motivated college students and blue neighborhoods are pulling in massive numbers of new voters. Taylor just blew the dog whistle to get them in the polling lines.

Repubs rely on an angry base getting themselves to the polls. Dems canvass, harvest, transport, and deliver votes.

Everyone is acting like it will be a fair, honest selection, not an election by any means.
The communist has taken over and we are screwed.

Moderators Play Outsized Role In Testy Trump-Harris Presidential Debate

The presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris was defined by tough and tense interactions — and an avalanche of complaints of bias by ABC moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis. These themes were immediately present in early exchanges over immigration...

I'm pretty sure Harris will be the next POTUS too... but not because of the debate.

In 2020, when the election fraud enabled Biden to prevail, circumstances were such that their lie could fly. Now - if Biden was still the nominee - there is no way, given his mental/physical decline & ratings, that they could have pulled off another vote fraud. It just would not be believed.

With Harris - a similarly obtained 'election win' would be believable, whether it was legit or not. Oh... she will win.

This actually gives me some comfort. There is no way in hell that Trump will be allowed to prevail, period. Having the voter fraud tool again available to them reduces the need for his assassination or incarceration.

He's done enough. Let him live out his life in peace.

If she's as effective as POTUS as she was Vice president, she won't accomplish anything.
I fear her handlers will hit the cookie jar with both hands however.

 

[Brains]

So Obama might get a fourth term, crazy.

Agree. Might be the best we can do is make sure our personal ducks are in a row. As Yoda says, On our own, we will be.

 

[wakosama]

good liar as usual.... figure the win will be cheated as before regardless. sad.

I agree. Do you PA voters believe her fracking comments?

 

[Lead Belly]

I haven't seen anyone mention this.

Heels up Harris was almost a conservative in many of her "policy" statements last night.

Bingo. Is why I call her Chamelea. She morphs to fit the optics: She is: black, white, Indian, liberal, conservative, rich, poor traditional, progressive... all depends on audience. She is a blank page that they create for each opportunity.

 

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

She's quite the 'evil marxist', who'll morph into whatever sells...

 

[MountainGirl]

That was really good. Glad I finally clicked on it.

Kind of like 98% of the politicians.

 

[oldag]

I do not have a good feeling about Trump's chances of being elected. Sure hope I am wrong.

We can't take four more years of the leftists.

 

[toddnjoyce]

I believe the PA voters Harris is trying to win won’t base their vote on fed fracking policy.

Trump winning PA in 2016 was an aberration.
