The scariest part is that some people will see this and genuinely believe it.

Vanessa Pierce, Wisconsin:

I do not want to vote for Trump, but I do not like this current administration. I wonā€™t change my mind before November, Iā€™d just be less worried if she were to win.

Less worriedā€¦ About Harrisā€¦

How to say Closet Republican without saying Closet Republican.

I just saw one comment describing the debate as looking like an episode of the Muppets where Harris is the lone, bemused human.

Iā€™m not sure what that makes Trump.

Iā€™ll be interested to see the next polls, but if I understand well what has been said in here, it wonā€™t matter much, because facts or actual political problems donā€™t interest people anymore that much. All they are looking for is to ā€˜get a vibeā€™ of the candidate, whatever that means, and above all, to confirm their already existing prejudices.

So, Trumpā€™s MAGA base will continue to support him even if he mumbles ineptitudes all day, and those who think that heā€™s an idiot will be confirmed once again. Those who pretend to be undecided, because for instance they donā€™t like Trump, but also donā€™t like the idea of a woman becoming president, will continue to be undecided.

The fools.

I just got through watching the thing in its entirety and score it a hands down win for Harris. I thought she was knowledgeable and convincing throughout , self-possessed , calm, refusing to be intimidated and landing blow after blow.

Trump on the other hand gave us a portrait of a disturbed and anxious man who knew heā€™d met his match and couldnā€™t help but spiral into a vortex of ever increasing inanities and hopeless repetition.

It was really no contest by the end , and above all should be remembered for the immortal line ; "Theyā€™re eating the cats and dogs ! "

Have only seen a few clips so far. But yeah, I meanā€¦
I guess Trump team hopes that just saying the words ā€˜immigrantsā€™ and ā€˜inflationā€™ often enough will do it, regardless of the insane ramblings.

Nobby, our resident Trumpist, went to bed half way through the debate claiming that Trump was ā€˜doing okā€™.
He had previously claimed that Trump was a good debater.
I wonder he made of the news when he woke up.

When I got up at 6am , the first headline I saw was the NYT which went with ; ā€œTrump Puts Harris on Defensive in Fierce Debateā€ ā€¦ and I (naturally) thought oh fuck.

I just looked at the NYT again and now their headline is ;
ā€œHarris Puts Trump on Defensive in Fierce Debate.ā€

wtf :woman_shrugging:

Doesnt matter. Those people are gone down the rabbit hole. This is for the remainder of the populace that still have a functioning frontal cortex.

Watched the entire thing, thought Kamala crushed it. I know Iā€™m biased to wanting to think that so i switched over to Fox News (the only time Iā€™ll ever put that garbage on) immediately after to see what the other side were saying before they figured out how they are going to spin out a Trump victory and they were all fairly despondent and in agreement Kamala did better. Then i switched back quick lol. Harris had a great night.

Listened to some RNC talking-head on LBC London in the car this morningā€¦he was spinning so much I thought he would take offā€¦

And now itā€™s 3 on 1. It was unfair the moderators fact checked trump only.

But Kamala didnā€™t make outlandish claims like trump did so there wasnā€™t a need for the moderator to say things like: no state kills babies, or no one is eating pets. Guys a raving looney.

she seemed to have a real flourish for making a clear point, then hanging some bait that Trump could not resist. I donā€™t think he resisted once. No wonder a Putin leads him around by the nose

I saw a comment, on X I thinkā€¦

If you say you can deal with Putin, Putin has already dealt with you.
