Vice President Kamala Harris, in the biggest political event of the year, grimaced, squinted, sneered, twitched, pursed her lips, and made faces at Donald Trump during their first debate meet-up, hosted by ABC News on Tuesday evening.
Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of copying his plans because she had none of her own during the Tuesday night debate. He called her a Marxist and said she will destroy the United States if elected president.
“She has no policy. Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She’s going to my philosophy now, in fact, I was gonna send her a MAGA hat,” Trump said, trolling her. “She’s gone to my philosophy, but if she ever got elected, she’d change it. It will be the end of our country. She’s a Marxist. Everybody knows she’s a Marxist. Her father’s a Marxist professor in economics, and he taught her well.”
Harris said she had the support of all the major economists of the world, including those from Goldman Sachs and professors from Wharton School of Business. She said the Biden-Harris Administration had “cleaned up” the mess that Trump had left.
Neither candidate scored points enough to persuade detractors to change their minds, however. Trump was polite to the nervous and twitchy Harris, who made exaggerated facial expressions at Trump, not unlike a teenager.
She was not able to bait him into some of his more legendary interruptive behaviors, however. Trump remained stoic and disciplined to his message, but repeatedly called out Harris on every lie that she told about him — and there were dozens.
Trump criticized the Biden-Harris border policies that have ravaged cities and towns across America.
“They’re criminals. Many of these people are criminals, and that’s bad for our economy too. Well, bad immigration is the worst thing that can happen to our economy. They have, and she has, destroyed our country with policy that’s insane. Almost policy that you say ‘they have to hate our country,” Trump said.
On social media, several commentators said that Harris was wearing earrings that doubled as high-end hearing devices, and that she may have been getting help.
Topics of immigration, the economy, and abortion all came up, but there was no solid talk about energy policy for the United States or security in the Arctic.
The Lincoln Project, which is an anti-Republican organization, immediately published a statement that said, “Harris lit him up and melted his orange face paint like the Nazis in Indiana Jones.”
But an ABC poll done during the debate shows that 92% of viewers thought Trump won the debate, while just 4% thought Harris won. A CNN poll conducted after the debate showed Trump inching up from 53% to 55% and Harris inched down from 37% to 35% with poll participants.
As expected.
There is a significant difference between the two candidates that can be corrected at the ballot box, considering that one provided ill-intended amoral drivel, and the other gave well-reasoned and cogent responses in this national performance.
No matter how anyone views what happened, at more than two decades younger than the ‘old goat’ Ms Harris has at least twice as much experience in responsible public policy decision-making.
And, here’s a question for all those with male sex organs, how do you feel about strangers telling you what to do them, and when they can be used and not? Especially in the role of procreation?
Mrs N.
Nobody is telling you what to do with your organs. What is being fought against is the mutilation of your offspring’s organs, and that is IF you don’t slay your offspring in the womb first. By mass abortion, you feed a beast with the sacrifice of your offspring, all so you don’t have to claim responsibility for the misuse of your life creating energies.
You live in an illusion that is soon going to break wide open. Be prepared for a very rude awakening, as Earth is raising on vibration. Those who work for chaos and darkness will have to face a reckoning. If you don’t change your ways while you still have a chance, there will be nothing but pain for you, and will all be your own doing. You have been warned. This is your last chance. Pray.
Strangers telling someone what to do with sex organs?
I have heard stories about weirdos mutilating themselves but only by choice…not forced by strangers.
What are you smoking???
Andy, it is you who mentioned strangers. I did not.
What I am referring to are the troubled parents who project their identity problems on their children and drive them to transition and have surgeries. The PARENTS, not strangers.
But since you did mention strangers, I can refer to the identity cultists who call themselves school teachers.
Work on your reading comprehension or at least ease off the gaslighting.
Mrs N,
“All ‘those’ with male sex organs”?….that sounds very woke.” You could just say “males” or “men”.
Also, laws against drinking and driving tell people how/what to do and not do with their bodies. So telling a man to practice abstinence or use a condom to help prevent the needless murder of a defenseless infant is fine with me. Sex is for the procreation of children and has consequence. Sex is not just some essential activity for men and women to engage in recklessly and irresponsibly. BOTH men and women need to do responsible and not just cop out with a “reset button” abortion which actually in some ways helps the man more than the woman.
It is true; people do eat Dogs, ‘https://sentientmedia.org/korean-dog-meat/#:~:text=Most%20people%20are%20aware%20of,dog%20meat%20in%20the%20world.
Trump scored big when asked about Jan 6, he put it right back on them! What about the people who destroyed cities?, he asked. When are THEY going to go to jail? And he was right, of course.
Who was the POTUS at that time? Inquiring minds want to know, oh wait it was DJT!
And, that POTUS at the time offered to mobilize the National Guard to help those cities and was rejected.
And, the POTUS at the time said the rioters should see the inside of a jail cell, and was ridiculed and called a racist.
The POTUS in office when those riots happened did not have the legal authority to take police action in a State or City. In fact NO POTUS has that legal authority.
Thank you, President Trump for showing respect and class to the Kamala’s foolishness. And Praise The Lord for the jump in Trump’s polling.
Yup, respect and class, that was Trump alright… Did you watch the same debate I did?
Trump proved, once again, he’s a child. He rose to the bait nearly every time. He proved, once again, he doesn’t have the temperament to be a president (again).
The bit about his buddy Viktor Orban being one of his cheerleaders was particularly funny. Orban is not the guy you want championing your cause – unless you are an autocrat.
It’s called debate prep. The questions to all presidential debates are the same, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Immigration, foreign policy, economy, healthcare. Are Trumps advisors that dumb. Attacking the moderators for pointing out that it’s illegal to kill babies and that people are not eating pets in Springfield is a losing position.
The moderators are not supposed to participate in the debate. They deserve to be attacked for interjecting themselves into the candidates answers like they did. It was absolutely unacceptable for them to say anything about those subjects, end of story.
.
And, yes, apparently Trump’s advisers are that dumb. He appeared to be completely unprepared for the debate.
As much as it hurts to say it, you are not off base on Trump’s responses during that debate. He was nearly yelling at times.
.
However, that smirking bobble head who presented no content of any significance, and mainly just grinned and repeated the same old platitudes is not Presidential quality either. Unfortunately we are stuck with these two.
.
Finally, when Orban says Trump would have prevented war in Ukraine, listen to him.
CB. Basing your analysis on facial expressions and trusting a dictator to defend felon Trump. Embarrassing.
Why are you assuming the only thing I based my analysis on are the items I wrote? Do you want me to waste a ton of time and bandwidth listing everything I noted during the debate, and providing my opinion on them?
.
Is the full width and breadth of your analysis contained in your comment?
More cheating by Democrats. Stolen elections. Stolen valor. Stolen debates. They can’t do it without cheating. Affirmative Action debate by Harris.
She walked him like a poodle.
His performance was terrible. She lied multiple times and never once got called out by the moderators. She’s an ingenuous Poodle owner, agreed on that.
All the n all, the political aura of this country has brought forth 2 candidates where the witch accuses the devil of being evil …And vice versa
Furthermore this current political culture that we are experiencing is saturated in obfuscation and it makes synthetic sophism look like organic tofu. In addition, it depresses me to think that this is the best we can do with hiring these leaders that represents vacuous trajectory
.
….
While I will agree with anyone who criticizes Trump’s performance in that debate, she did nothing of the sort. All she did was toss out meaningless platitudes, and repeat already debunked falsehoods about her opponent.
.
Oh, and the moderators helped her along.
Oh Whidbey, forever full of the indoctrination that was inculcated into your noodle back when you were still going through adolescence. Never a curious moment or any introspection with you dawg.
But at least you are consistent!
Hahaha. What debate did you watch? Harris wiped the fing floor w the felon. He’s going to lose. You Magats are imploding. It’s a beautiful thing to watch.
I see. So you must think it’s beautiful watching your own country continue to implode from the current administration’s wokism agenda, letting men pass as women (ruining women’s sports and spitting in the face of true feminism), reckless spending, money printing (dollar devaluing) inflation causing, over regulating, law-abiding gun owner despising, terrorist emboldening, economy destroying, and open border supporting policies. Ok, well if Harris is elected, then enjoy more to come of the last 4 years of destruction with your new cackling leader’s fake ear-to-ear grin as she “turns the page” with vibes of joy and hope….oh and a Tabasco flavored greens recipe that Americans totally asked for.
In your dreams, mutt. The debate didn’t change anybody’s mind. However, Harris did move the bullsh*t meter by a substantial margin.
Sadly, she could LITERALLY s**t on the stage and Libtards would blame Trump.
She even had people talking to her and supporting her answers behind the scenes (aka: CHEATING) and still only could act like a little kid getting lectured by Dad. All the facial gestures are sad, can you imagine her at the UN taking a verbal lashing for US policy and other world leaders seeing that kind of display.
She is not fit to wipe Biden’s drool much less run this country.
How about a proper debate without moderators engaging in so-called “fact checking.” Every fact is only an opinion at it’s core. Even gravity is is an arguable phenomena.
And you would step off the bridge at Hurricane Gulch?
Whatever suits ya….
Facts are backed up by evidence, which is what confuses you so much as you’ve drank the orange kool-aide. Alternative facts are lies!
I agree totally.
When the moderator said “we called the city manager for Springfield OH…” the fix was in. That no one on the left side of the aisle is upset is clear proof they are willing to cheat to win.
America always likes an underdog. I would like to thank ABC for handing Trump a victory in the debate. Anyone watching could see how unfair the moderators were in the treatment of Trump. This played perfectly into one of Trump’s classic lines “ the corrupt media “.
Unfair? All I saw was a moderator correct Trump’s vile and obviously fake claim about post birth abortion.
Of COURSE she cheated. She’s a liar and a cheater, among other things.
Fox News poll says Trump won the debate? Gee MRAK, this is breaking news on the level of the earth orbits the sun.
No, Harris rattled Trump and he came off like a blithering old man like Biden in the last debate. That being said, it’s still his election to lose.
I think you misread the article. ABC’s own poll said Trump won the debate.
Manda–although the article claimed that ABC’s poll indicated Trump won, that claim is belied by the facts. Look again at the screenshot: note that the poll was posted on FOX. ABC did not conduct a poll. But plenty of other outlets did, all indicating Harris was the winner.
I saw plenty of polls on X that would refute that, but I suppose that is the nature of polls and pollsters nowadays.
Leah Thomas kicked Riley Gaines a** in a swim meet.
Does that make HIM a winner?
Even the Harris campaign is acting like Trump won.
If they really though Harris won, they would not be asking for a second debate. Why would they?
CB. It’s obvious to everyone but you. She wants to humiliate him again.
Why?
Why waste the time? If she won the debate, and is going to walk away with the election in a landslide, why should she waste her time?
Just take the L.
The only thing which surprised me is someone in Kamala’s camp thought making faces at an opponent is a good strategy.
IT was really funny. It said what everyone was thinking……”This lying bozo again? Is he still alive?”
Classy. And you’re critical of Orange Man?
Can anyone tell me when the moderators started becoming active participants in the debate? At what point is it OK for a moderator to tell a candidate they are wrong?
Their job is to ask questions, and time the answers, not fact check.
No their job is to moderate a debate. Look up what that means and come back, being ignorant isn’t an excuse to run your mouth.
So why didn’t that rule apply to Harris too? Or is she considered untouchable and already moderated perhaps?…Maybe you should go get reacquainted with the word “moderate” too, oh and add looking into the rules of debate onto your task list. A debate (typically) only has 2 or even perhaps 3 participants and a moderator or moderators. It was obvious they(the moderators) were pandering to Kamala. She did seem nervous and dry mouthed at the onset but once they lobbed some softballs at her with perfect setup, she calmed down significantly. While simultaneously actively fact checking(wrongly too on several occasions) Donald. Yeap, that was a real fair, balanced and well “moderated” “debate”…LOL and like you said (I’m paraphrasing here ) “ignorance is NO excuse”.
And they did that poorly.
Yet, here we are. With moderators actively taking part in the discussion.
.
Or what would you call it when a moderator finishes off a topic by saying they called the City Manager for Springfield OH and the reports of immigrants eating pets were not substantiated. Would you call that moderating a debate?
CB. Truth’s a drag for you. Isn’t a debate meant to inform?
Presidential debates have not informed in any way since before radio became common. How, exactly, does a candidate state their position and provide sufficient background to support it in two/three minutes? And, giving their opponent 30 seconds to a minute to rebut is not reasonable. There is no debate, there are two people campaigning on the same stage.
.
And, did you miss the part where the moderators told the debaters that their statements were false? A real debate moderator would not do that. They would let the candidates lies stand. It is the role of the other person in the debate to rebut claims, not the moderators.
Could it be the moderators were “defending democracy”?
Nancy Pelosi has taken on a new role of defending democracy through the use of communist tactics.
Defending democracy? Is that the new term for installing a one party state?
Bill Lacey,
The debate went something like this:
Trump, The sky was blue the day I was Shot…
David Muir, Mr. Trump our “Fact Checkers” have consulted Climate Scientist who say that the sky is actually black. Colors are merely artifacts of light bending through the atmosphere… you’re not telling the truth.
Linsey Davis, FBI Director Wray says that they are unable to confirm if you were struck by a bullet, meaning that you are lying again…
David Muir, “You know that it was all faked”
Kamala Harris , sticks out her tongue and cackles like an insane Hen.
That is your idea of moderation? Did they grill your cackling Hen on any point?
They weren’t moderating. They were tag-teaming.
Also asking a paragraph-long question intimating that opinions were facts was not what I’d call unbiased.
Goes back to Bush Dukacus(sp). At least.
Cope lmao
They will have to Cope with 4 years of Kamala Harris, and Trump selling ‘virtual trading cards’ of AI images of himself, a fat, balding 70 years old man, holding weapons. We all know who is going to be buying those/complaining about money.
We will have to cope with four years of Claus Schwab and the WEF calling the shots in the USA.
Unless you can actually name a single thing the democrats have done in the last several decades that was not directly in support of the globalist agenda.
.
Enjoy your SMART city.
He pummeled her! 👍 She looked like a teenager that was being told things she didn’t like!
Just like the Marxist Left she is part of, childish and pretty dumb for the most part!
TRUMP 2024!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Save this country!
Did we watch the same debate? His closing words were just his saying how much he hates Joe Biden, who isn’t running. Do you have dementia perhaps,?
Because everyone who was better off 4 years ago just absolutely adores Biden and Harris for all the havoc they have wreaked on our country. Trump didn’t need an eloquent closing statement. The last 4 years speak for themselves. (“Did we watch the same debate?”) Are you and I living in the same United States? Are your groceries not much higher than they were 4 years ago? Are our enemies overseas not emboldened by, empowered by, and taking advantage of leadership of Biden and Harris? Is Iran not building a nuclear weapon that was funded and enabled by the current administration? The impact of Trump Derangement Syndrome on some people just baffles me.
Well Greg, are most of Trump’s top advisors and cabinet members in prison? Do none of members of his former administration disavow him? This is tedious grammar.
The undeniable facts are that Trump is a con, a professional liar, a felon, a crook, a nascent authoritarian, and a weak poorly educated loser.
But sure, if those traits reflect your world view, vote for him.
Jim, the fact that our nation was energy independent under Trump and had a thriving economy with more of our own money in our pockets, makes your rebuttal to my comment irrelevant. People that worked with and under Trump that disavow or just don’t like him is because they don’t understand economics, and/or they hate that he successfully circumvents their secret agenda to be an accomplice in radicalizing our nation into Marxist utopia that hates freedom. More voters and Republicans (that did not previously support him) have come to support Trump in the past 4 years than ever. As far as the “felonies”, no one ever would have come after him to try and convict him of anything had he not run for president. It was all to try and prevent him from being President again, not about the rule of law. It is and continues to be purely politics. They prosecuted him because they are threatened by his track record and ability to make the US a thriving nation again. Yes, he goes against the grain to get things done, but in the end, it has worked for our country.
The Biden-Trump debate confirmed that Biden was too old. The Harris-Trump debate confirmed that Trump is too crazy. Having Taylor Swift and Caitlin Clark endorse Harris might be the knockout punch. But then again Trump can counter with Roseanne and Kid Rock.
Child….
Go get your crayons.
Kamala was boasting of having Dick Cheney’s endorsement! Who do you think loses more voters for Kamala, Dick Cheney or Kid Rock?
Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris, let that sink in…
Indeed Steve, how awful does Trump have to be that even the archbishop of lies, death and graft can’t vote for him?
Pretty awful, but apparently not awful enough since he’s chosen Kamala. Democrats, liberals, and leftists of not even 2 years ago let alone 10 years ago would be losing their collective mind over the fact that Dick Cheney is endorsing the Democratic Party candidate for President…now you all meekly fall in line and celebrate it.
Your candidate is backed by Dick Cheney.
Dick Cheney
Boy, I remember when the folks on the left abhorred Dick Cheney. He was equivalent to Satan.
But, he endorses a Democrat, and suddenly he is a fantastic guy, everyone wants to be around.
Maybe Dick “Yosemite Sam” Cheney will take Kamala bird hunting?
Dick or Willy, it’s all good.
Don’t forget about Hulk Hogan!
It never ends with you lying Trumpers. Amazing the delusions you tell yourself to be part of the loser cult.
Whatever they can say to convince themselves they are right and the best it seems. All these Boomers with dementia just screaming and wailing, it does make it easier to leave them in the retirement home, let me tell you. Did not see my father in the last two years of his life, but I sent his caretakers coffee cards as a thank you.
RINO, what is amazing is how someone like yourself is willing to back Krazy Kommie Kamala because you have an unhealthy hatred for Trump? Trump was never my first choice but in juxtaposition to Kamala, Trumpy is a hill to die on.
But maybe you want the U.S. to become Venezuela? Biden got us half way there, Krazy Kamala will seal the deal. You go Girl!!!!
Yawn, same old Trumptard lies. You morons really are just a broken record of stupidity. Basically just a South Park episode. Hide your Kittens.
RINO, what is a broken record of stupidity is being so blinded by an irrational hated for Trump that you would willingly vote for the destruction of your country.
Please tell me about this destruction you see. Please provide me where the Democrats have advocated for the taking of all private property, the nationalizing of all businesses. You know Communism, this thing you Cult members all yell about. Just provide me this evidence of your accusations of the destruction of our country. And no a Telegram, X post isn’t evidence. I will be waiting. But I dont expect it.
The Unrealized Capital Gains Tax. Is effectively a way to confiscate businesses and investments. Sorry, but WE have decided you owe more money than you gave.. So you must sell in order to pay. The proceeds will immediately be taken before you even receive them
Rino.
It is a pity that you have allowed the fake news establishment to brainwash you into hating your fellow countrymen when it is not us that is destroying our country from within. The way you speak is a reflection of your character. You reveal that your heart is full of hate and you take it out on the innocent. I do hope you do not have children of which you would breed generational trauma.
I advise you take a good hard look in the mirror and reassess your life and ask yourself why you are so motivated to hate your own country and its people. Perhaps you have some serious unresolved trauma of your own that you need to address. If you need someone to talk to, just ask. Calling everyone else a trumptard is not going to unite our country.
Beware though, the time for the great reveal is upon us. You will be shocked when the truth makes its way into your consciousness. You will wish you never said such things as it will be very difficult to take it all back. Be mindful of your thoughts, they betray you.
Is calling everyone who doesn’t agree with your ideology a Communist gonna help? Save me the lecture. Your cult leader and you are the actual problem with this country and my children will be cleaning it up for the next generation or so.
I did no such thing to call anyone a Communist, but go off I guess.
Rino, you seem to be divided within yourself. So full of hate for your own country because who have not resolved your own inadequacies. You are willing to vote for those who wish to enslave our country to corrupted ideologies just so you can have purpose in ‘cleaning it up”.
Besides coming to this forum and trolling, what exactly are you doing in your life to connect with humanity and to uplift your own soul?
Probably nothing, for you have nothing to offer other than projection.
It is a pity for you. You could be happy if you only tried. There is more to life than pointing the finger at everyone else, blaming them for your own problems.
One day you will learn, but the later you postpone the lesson, the harder the knocks will come.
So powerless you are that you have no agency over how accomplished your life is, that you depend on your VOTE to do all the work for you.
Sad.
Dont forget to mention the other wannabe president Hillary’s favorite line about being a “basket of deplorables” while you are on a name calling rant.
Trump missed so many opportunities- she failed to answer many questions and just talked about herself instead. Of course the moderators never hit her for this. But Trump should have. He appeared unprepared. And he could have elaborated on them i.e. Are you better off… he should have blasted her and Muir on this- point out the cost of food, fuel, mortgages. In detail. And they “fact-checked” him but not her- I gave up and switched the channel.
Trump’s problem is like Sarah Palins’. They are always the rich person in a room of people who WORK FOR THEM so they think they are adored and don’t have to prepare or try. That is what happens to silver spoon children, they grow into silver spoon adults. Trump is a perfect exampl.e
Last time Donold got spanked that hard he had to pay Hush money
Ask yourself this, with the moral and sexual depravity expressed by the democrat party, why would Trump need to pay hush money at all. The leftists are overly explicit in their sexual content through their support of all things LGBT.
If what Trump did with Stormy was true, what are you so upset about exactly?
The state/corporate media whores fulfilled their masters wishes. It was unwatchable.
Let’s have debates with no moderators.
The Moderators didn’t do much. They let Trump ramble on while the brainworms were driving, worst thing they could have done. He’s such a bozo he has to be controlled at all times! You’d have to be sitting in a hole in the ground to look up to him.
Moderators did not do much? Did you actually watch the debate?
Is Davis interjecting that “there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after birth.” not doing much? Anyone with half a functioning brain will see that as participating in the debate on behalf of one candiate.
What about when Muir said he called the city manager in Springfield, OH to verify if immigrants are eating pets? Is that moderating?
.
And, it was not all one sided either. When Muir told Harris that the Charolettesville comments were debunked… Oh… wait, that did not happen. Or when Davis told Harris that Trump never refused to rent to blacks… oh… wait, that did not happen either. I know, calling for the execution of the Central Park Five… nope, no correction on that one either.
.
You are right. The moderators did not do much. They certainly did not do much moderating. And, the did not demonstrate any ability to avoid bias.
.
Their job is to ask the question, let the candidate speak for their allotted time, and keep their mouth shut. They failed at the last two responsibilities.
It was all an attempt to provide truth C B. Focus on the content, not the messenger.
“Provide truth” must mean to you to lie willingly and openly.
Moderators are not there to provide truth.
They are there to ask questions, and time the responses. Nothing more. I do not care if one of the debaters said the Earth is flat, their job is to remain silent and let the other debater rebut.
Unfortunately, too many Americans would take “the earth is flat” coming from Trump as fact and go and quickly start a campaign to remove all globes from classrooms. Seriously, how is a voter supposed to make a decision when a serious candidate for POTUS tells the American people that Democrats kill babies after they are born 9 months after conception–when that is clearly not true. Hear me out here, if it was true, it would be a valid opinion forming point. How are so many Americans who don’t pay attention to politics but watch the debate and then hear that Haitians in Ohio are eating peoples pets going to know this is a made up story by people who just don’t like having a bunch of legal immigrants in their town, for whatever reason?
If they had fact checked every claim from Trump, they wouldn’t have gotten through two complete questions in 90 minutes–they actually gave Trump a pass on the majority of his “alternative facts”. Had Harris said MAGA republicans are roving Georgia with vasectomy records and locking up men who had them, I would hope any moderator would call her out for lying. The only reason there’s all this screaming about the moderators is because Trump did so poorly! Much like a Gallagher show, I would highly recommend not sitting in the front row at a Trump debate unless you wear your poncho because you are going to get soaked by all of the spittle flying from his angry rants!
Her worst affectation was when she pretended to rest her chin on the back of her hand while listening to Trump. How many times did she have to practice this before her puppeteers gave her the OK to use it? There must have been a large mirror somewhere in her empty head, because she was far too conscious of how she appeared.
Excited to have a woman president, and more excited to see all the Trumpers lose their minds in a few weeks, oh boy hahaha
Right. The most unqualified, divisive, Marxist, woman that democrats themselves did not even vote for in their own primary. And now she is the nominee which is the most non democratic thing our country has seen (not a vote of the people, but an installment to further the agenda of government elitists who are really running the show and don’t care about women). A woman president would be great, however, the right woman candidate has yet to show up and ultimately get elected which is the correct way to have and get a woman president (not installing one as a nominee and using her as a token to). And running on joy and vibes with an unauthentic, ear-to-ear grin to cover for her awful track record and trying to rewrite her own history is a disgrace and insult to women? Harris is far from the ideal woman to lead this nation. She has had almost 4 years to do it and has nothing to show for it.
So, what the candidate is (female) is more important to you than what the candidate does?
Got it.
Speaks volumes about your intellect and character.
Re-read my comment. That’s not what I said. My point is that it would be great to have a woman president, but Harris is far from qualified because of her record and lack of leadership. We have yet to see a woman make her way to the top (nominee) that does not have an awful track record.
Response was not to you Greg. It was to Lacey.
Bill. Sounds a bit sexist on your part to state that being a woman is a qualification for leadership.
My take: Her expressions were arrogant, condescending and exaggerated. A reminder of why most don’t like Kamala’s personality and remember– why she bombed in the 2020 Pres. race. She is not likable. Overly rehearsed. No real plan other than throwing free $ at everything.
Trump was too sour. He needed to smile more. He looked tired. He found himself on the defensive more than he should have. No mention of the tax on unrealized capital gains proposed by comrade Kamala. And no mention of the thousands of human trafficking victims the open borders has created. Went down too many rabbit holes.
None scored points. The media continues to re invent a not likable Kamala.
Her expressions were dismissive and passively mocking, which is a completely appropriate response to a ranting, undignified old man who is twisted enough to think he can gain influence and garner votes making up stories of executing newborn babies, eating cats & dogs, being idolized by a dictator, and paying people to attend his opponent’s rallies.
Real men like Dwight Eisenhauer, Ronald Regan, or George HW Bush would’ve eaten her lunch. But in this case, she showed who was boss, and now woe to us.
I rather enjoyed when Trump said, “Excuse me, I’m talking.”
The look on Kamala’s face was worth a million…It brought back memories of her past failure.
Interesting how folks see things differently, regardless upon which side of the aisle they may (even obviously) sit. I was disappointed with what I saw as DJT’s inability to get of his own way. Snarky-B baited him relentlessly and he wouldn’t just shine it on, a more statesman-like response that might have won some moderates.
On the other side, I did not observe the ‘depth of partisanship’ by Muir/Davis that others commented upon; partisan, yes, but not unexpected and not beyond his ability to contend with, absent the animus with which he often expostulated. Frankly, I thought he lost this debate and I’m happy to see that Snarky-B slipped a couple of digits at CNN.
My first read this morning was this article from Epoch Times; this is where I picked up on the perspective of other viewers. Interesting fodder:
‘https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/4-takeaways-from-the-trump-harris-presidential-debate-5722030
Here’s praying Trump wins another term. We need him and can ill-afford the continued onslaught of Marxism marching through our society.
Thanks for this article & forum Suzanne!
You want jobs and decent employment in Alaska?! Trump will open the oil reserves that Alaska is sitting on the Biden closed – those oil reserves investers lost their money in because Biden closed it – and you Alaskans should know this over all Americans! Alaskans need be promulgating this but we hear nothing coming from Alaska. The State of Maine is the least populated State. There are no shipping lanes in the North Atlantic, for those who look down on the mainland. We cannot fish as Alaskans do. So don’t poopoo mainlanders and their thoughts and ideals. The United States needs our own independent oil and not to import from the Middle East.
You own this oil, the United States owns this oil. President Trump will get this oil pumping – that means jobs, money, investments for the prosperity of Alaska!
Do not bring socialism and the New World Order into our country!!! Keep Alaska open and free, at all costs!!!
Well said. Alaska stands the most to gain from an adult in the White House.
The debate was a train wreck. How the United States can have such bad candidates leading their respective parties is appalling. JD Vance would have won the debate if he was the nominee instead of Trump.
Trump could have won the debate had he focused on how badly Harris and Biden have screwed up the US economy, and allowed millions of un- vetted people to cross our border- imperiling national security, driving up rents, and allowing criminal acts to occur against US citizens. Instead Trump dithered on about the size of his rallies.
Trump’s claim about migrants eating our pets was cringeworthy. Had Trump done his homework he could have focused on the illegal immigrants that killed a bald eagle, to eat. And then focused on why its important to have a system where those who wish to immigrate share our values, and respect the rule of law.
If I was advising Trump I’d never allow him to do another debate. He doesn’t need to dig the hole he is in any deeper.
Here’s backup for the claim about illegals killing a bald eagle to eat:

it was amazing that two candidates offered nothing of substance. i actually was hoping to hear Trump’s solution to deporting 11 million people. Seemed like an easy question for him and a time to talk policy. Instead he offered nothing other than to repeat his blaming of the Biden administration.
I gotta agree about JD Vance’s responses during the after debate coverage. If Trump had that level of self awareness, ability to stick to the question, and poise when confronted, no one would think Harris had a chance.
You have to be a special blend of Trump stupid to actually believe this nonsense. Kamala assassinated the orange clown. She had him so rattled he likely soiled himself by the end, just listen to how angry he was as he wasted his final few minutes going off the handle. He’s such a pathetic loser.
It’s still a toss up race. Last night had about as much real effect as the Taylor Swift endorsement.
Meaning, none.
To defend Kamala is pathetic. To vote for her is suicidal.
NOTHING they do surprises me. The only way we can make them stop is to call them out, spread the word far and wide on social media, emails, letters to the editors and hopefully shame them into better behavior. But, honestly, I hold out not much hope for change because they have gotten away with cheating for so very long that probably change is a very far off idea.
This wasn’t a debate it was an ambush. ABC clearly gave Kamala the answers to the questions as it was obviously scripted and you could tell the whole thing had been planned out prior. I think a lot of people saw the typical Democrat cheat to win at all costs which is why the polls are showing it backfiring for Kamala. If anything this ” debate ” only proves what Trump has been saying about the mainstream media all along. Everyone watching already knows where Trump stands because he does interviews, talks to reporters, and huge rallies however nobody really knows where Kamala stands because she’s to scared to do interviews or talk to reporters. This was kamala’s opportunity to tell Americans where she stands and what her policies are and she completely blew it. The simple fact is you don’t win when you cheat and Kamala clearly lost this ” debate ” with a lot of help from ABC.
The commentary by the trolls tells me things didn’t go as well as the left wanted it to.
The fact the Harris campaign wants a second debate say so as well. If she “crushed it!” like the pundits are saying, they would not bother with another debate.
Time for humanity to wake up before the globalist destroy us. Time for everyone to stop listening to corrupt media who controls the narrative in the globalist Matrix.
Listen carefully to Laura Aboli “Transhumanism: The End Game” Full Speech (10 minutes) ‘https://t.me/LauraAbolichannel
The singular best part of the debate was the closing remarks, while she continued to dodge the culpability for her (in)actions during her time as VP in her closing remarks and continued the senseless personal attacks levied at DJT about disproven and fact checked “to the nines” false accusations. The actual presidential acting DJT in his closing remarks, asked the American public one question, levied at her and the record of her past 3 years as VP. If she promises to do all these things as president, then why haven’t you done it yet? You can see via polls and post debate performance reviews, that question has planted a seed in everyone’s mind that has grown overnight into a very important ask simmering on the edges of our collective consciousness and that is “Yes, WHY haven’t you done it yet?”
This wasn’t much of a debate. Kamala can’t state her positions because it would be a landslide against her, the only thing she offered as policy was to give people money to vote for her. The talking points she repeated were predictable, same for Trump but at least he showed her record as part of the current incumbent administration. I just got back from the grocery store and had four bags in hand that weren’t very full, one only had 1.5 pounds of pork chops, and the bill was over $100. I recently changed and downgraded my auto and homeowners insurance because they wanted to raise my rates 25-35% after having been raise 15-20% last year. Facts are facts and Bidenomics sucks for everyone, Kamala is Bidenomics and would make things worse.
Trump didn’t win this debate, Kamala didn’t win this debate, the American people lost again because we are left with the option of voting for Trump or voting for a woman who hasn’t recieved a single vote since 2016.
Today while cleaning the venue from last nights debate the custodian found a chalk outline behind Trumps lectern.
Trump has exposed all these loony democrats for 0ver 8’years now, the Dems are so
Entrenched with Media. Hollywood, the DEEP state and all the establishment swamp dwellers, any one who can’t see these Liars and frauds for what they all are is either Severly Mentally Ill. Or totally on the dole from the government , working and public sector job that’s sucks the life out of the REAL Tax Payers , or they’re just flat out DUMB! Any and All who would vote for any Democrat at this time of our Country’s history are the lowest of the lowest . It’s pretty amazing how these people all fit the same mold, and none of them could provide for themselves with a honest and honorable living because they have lived off the taxpayer their entire pathetic lives in one way or another. Go to the State Capital you will see whats going on, and anyone who does go there with good intentions and who questions their all out robbery of the citizens who Pay all the bills is either shunned or stonewalled . They have created a environment in which you will either go along to get along and join in their games of lunacy and theft , or they will use their political clout to either discourage you, or destroy you. That’s exactly what they have been doing to Trump in Washington DC for nearly a decade now. This Country, including Alaska needs to be totally dismantled in nearly all these Political Cesspools . We have several people in Government who are trying to do what’s right, but Democrats have basicly sabotaged and over run any constitutional and common sense efforts for decades, these people are all part of a globalist cult who truly beleive in no borders, no consequences, and no common sense. Their very very sick and morally disgusting people. You would be amazed how many are double dippers who have used government and other public sector jobs in order to fill their own bank accounts.. examples. The Clintons. The Obama’s, the Biden’s , and now we have Kamala. Who has never made a dam dime that she didn’t squander off those who
Work in the private sector, then they all double down by extorting money from big corporations that are producing the life blood of our entire economies, all why accusing others of exactly what they themselves do on a daily basis!! Hell just look into the state Level in Alaska, numerous democrats and even some RINO republicans like the MKowskies, they all are fleecing the working people at every angle , if you work in the private sector and vote for these Dems and a few RINO s, your a total idiot!!! And if you work in the public sector and vote for democrats, your just a total drain on society who needs to be forced out into a real job that actually produces something other all these Government Waste Programs and endless entitlement projects !!! Juneau is full of double dippers and Tax Theives, Just to start ,
start
looking At the Departmet of Education and the teachers unions, and then follow the money, and they all look out for one another, all while fleecing the working people in The United States , then just multiply that by about 10,000!!
PstPstPst PstPst PstPstPst here Donnie Donnie Psst Psst
Harris is the new Trump whisperer, she knew exactly how to get under his skin, and she did. The man has no self-control, but that’s what you get when you’re dealing with a malignant narcissist.
I’m all in for the new generation, out with the Cult of MAGA and in with a new day in America.
Goodbye MAGA, good riddance.
PST PST pst.. Isn’t that the sound of the paint cans you’ve been huffing from?? Hey.. You’ve got the overspray all around your face
No new days for America.
The same old puppetmaster will be pulling her strings as Obama makes her dance across the stage.
Fairly simple: Harris was very well prepared. I saw a report where the Lefties looked at vast footage of Trump in action in debate and elsewhere and identified the EXACT buttons to push to drive him crazy. And it worked. Rarely did the Donald present a coherent, positive view of where he wants to lead the nation. He seems to be fighting the last war, not this one. Based on the preparation, Harris didn’t have to offer much; Trump was angry and ranting. Trump’s failure to prepare or failure to contain his emotional reactions (pick one) produced one of the worst debate performances in memory.
The Donald might still pull this one out; Harris has many faults, deficiencies and bad policies. If Harris is elected, the debate performance by the Donald will be a main cause. Those that currently hold power in Washington, D.C. are fundamentally bad people and will destroy the country for their own benefit. Trump might be able to stop this from happening. Shame on the Trump team for making this more likely. Perhaps Trump State Chair Tshibaka could respond.
pst, must be one of these Public school teachers who don’t produce and teach anything other then a bunch of loony new DEI curriculum that poisons and indoctrinates little kids at their most vulnerable ages. Like I said these people in many( not all) Public sector jobs are severly mentally lunatics and compulsive liars!! Very Very Sick and diabolical people!!
We are being destroyed from within, all these cackling liberals won’t be cackling for much longer. Democrats have a way of getting us in world wars. Then and only then will we separate the the men from the boys.
World war 3 will be fought with huge bombs & world war 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
All in all, Trump held his own in the debate. The fact that the moderators were clearly biased and “fact checked” Trump repeatedly, but failed to do the same to Harris, was not lost on independent voters and only solidified support by the MAGA crowd. It won’t help that an ABC whistleblower has allegedly claimed that Cackling Kamala was wearing an earpiece and being “coached” in real time. Trump should do his next debate with an independent podcaster and drive the final nail in the coffin of the Legacy Media. Even FOX cannot be trusted to give him a fair venue.
She was smirking because she knew the fix was in.. Its a Tell !one her cackle when she’s caught unprepared
