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 won’t change my mind before November, I’d just be less worried if she were to win.

Less worried… About Harris…

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.

I’m not sure what that makes Trump.

I’ll be interested to see the next polls, but if I understand well what has been said in here, it won’t matter much, because facts or actual political problems don’t interest people anymore that much. All they are looking for is to ā€˜get a vibe’ of the candidate, whatever that means, and above all, to confirm their already existing prejudices.

So, Trump’s MAGA base will continue to support him even if he mumbles ineptitudes all day, and those who think that he’s an idiot will be confirmed once again. Those who pretend to be undecided, because for instance they don’t like Trump, but also don’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 he’d met his match and couldn’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 ; "They’re eating the cats and dogs ! "

Have only seen a few clips so far. But yeah, I mean…
I guess Trump team hopes that just saying the words ā€˜immigrants’ and ā€˜inflation’ 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 ok’.
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€ … 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 I’m biased to wanting to think that so i switched over to Fox News (the only time I’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 morning…he was spinning so much I thought he would take off…

And now it’s 3 on 1. It was unfair the moderators fact checked trump only.

But Kamala didn’t make outlandish claims like trump did so there wasn’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 don’t think he resisted once. No wonder a Putin leads him around by the nose

I saw a comment, on X I think…

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