Thank Elliot for your thoughtful view of the Harris-Trump debate. From the start, Harris extended her hand to Trump and reflexively he did not want to engage. She proposed positive programs for all Americans whereas Trump had no plans. She smiled and looked directly at the camera when she answered questions whereas Trump scowled and shouted angrily at Harris. She bested Trump like no opponent has done on the debate stage by baiting him with brief lines and he reacted in an unhinged way. Taylor Swift’s carefully worded endorsement of Harris and Walz came shortly after the debate with a picture of her and her cat. Priceless!!!
It has been documented that 90% of what you communicate is not words but body language. Biden lost the last debate because he looked old, tired, and confused. In this debate, Trump played that role and Kamala displayed confidence, enthusiasm and energy. She simply looked 'Presidential'. Trump looked like a foolish has-been with no serious plan for governing the nation.
I will be interested in how many Americans still vote for him after seeing the emperor without any clothes (I will leave Obama to articulate the "size matters" jokes). For the Republican Party to have such a ignorant, angry old man to be their candidate should have consequences in the down ballot elections and probably bodes well for the Democrats to win majorities in both the House and Senate. Hopefully this spell of insanity is finally coming to an end and Trump can spend the rest of his days in constant litigation for his "crime spree" of a Presidency and his pathetic life in general.
Unfortunately there are people who don’t care about the debate minds are already made up which is the man I work for. Said he would catch the parts on tv on Wednesday.this said by person who had fox on.being from California I just said let’s agree not to talk politics.ifi had been in a swing state I would have had conversations
Another good moment, when Kamala baited Trump with comments about his rallies. He couldn’t resist, went right for it.
Kamala killed it by speaking to voters through the camera and humanizing women’s health care. She killed it again by turning to Trump and saying “you are a disgrace.” Devastating. His face grew more red than orange throughout the debate!
This "Kamala removes orange stains" tee is more alive than ever 👇🤣
She had to chase him behind his podium to shake hands. He discourteously NEVER looked at her, never used her name or her title. He is a weak disrespectful small narcissistic thing, deserving of no one's attention or vote.
I tried watching the debate but I just couldn’t stand looking at that rage-filled face with its dour expression glaring at Harris. What came out of his mouth was an endless stream of lies, from the size of his crowds to the accusation that she paid people to come to her rallies. Pitiful that a supposedly grown man would act like such a petulant child. I just can’t comprehend why anyone would vote for that man-baby.
Well stated! It was hard to watch really because he is so off base on everything. It was a great performance by VP Harris and I’m sending my thoughts and prayers to those people who will try to tell/sell America that what he meant to say was…..they really have their work cut out for them.🤦♀️🙋♀️🙆♀️
Hear, hear! I thought she was masterful. The Gaza question she answered as thoroughly and balanced as we could hope—and he took the bait everytime, as you said, crowd sizes, etc. It was so interesting, how he wouldn't look at her, as if he were afraid to do so.
I was listening on the radio. It would have been great to see their facial expressions and body language
I thought Kamala sounded hesitant the first words but she definitely gained momentum. Yes, she strategized so well. And, maneuvered the debate with an upper hand. Using Trump's weaknesses against him. Showing him for who he really is.
We saw Donald in his element splayed out, effectively disemboweled slowly as he tried to get away but Kamala Harris ( that black woman) would not let him up. He ranted and raved like he always does but nobody was there to help him. He tried to punch back but his words were incomprehensible. He was unable to summon the smallest of thoughts to help his arguments but there was nothing to say - just the word salad nobody understands. In the end, she backed off after she was finished with him and walked away.
One person appeared Presidential: Kamala Harris poked in all the right places, making sure to remind viewers that Trump is a convicted felon, due for a sentencing hearing just days after the election.
Below all the bluster, lies and rising anger, the stark reminder was on view: He's a pathetic human being unfit for all but jail.
MAGA Republicans would back him no matter what happened during the debate. That’s a given.
But there are many Americans that don’t pay attention to politics, They’re too busy and just want a little escape before their next workday, or they’re disillusioned with politics, are tired of the back and forth of he said she said. Those are the people who would potentially vote for Harris. I think she did an excellent job reaching out to those people.
On trumps side, the pet animal eaters was classic. He’s so used to talking to his cult he had no idea of how ridiculous he’d look to the rest of the world.
And Yes! Putin did say he was for Harris right after Russia got caught messing with our election again. They are two of a kind.
Attempting to control others with threats or aggression.
Using intelligence, charm, or charisma to manipulate others.
Not learning from mistakes or punishment.
Lying for personal gain.
Showing a tendency toward physical violence and fights.
Generally superficial relationships
Sometimes, stealing or committing other crimes
Abusing drugs (adderall) and
Trouble with responsibilities
These are the characteristics of a sociopath.
VP Kamala Harris exhibited the opposite of each of these characteristics and gave a vision of strong leadership, patriotism, optimism, hope , and not going back. We can expect more outlandish lies from,Trump like saying that immigrants are eating peoples pets, but I hope the American people will see through his manipulatiive fear mongering, Calling Trump/Vance weird seems to have helped , but he isn’t just weird, he is extremely dangerous.
Thanks Elliot, it was good to return to thoughtful, thinking peeps who follow your thoughts after having dived into the right-wing media in Australia (dual US/Aussie citizen here). The overwhelming response from Sky News (right-wing rag) followers was that Kamala was I liar! Really, blinded by the Trump aura I guess! Lol. I do have to laugh at those who can call a thoughtful, personable, clear candidate a liar, but the haters all over the world hate. I think Kamala slayed Trump. She was on point, careful and precise in her dissection of Trump rhetoric. I am hoping all fence-sitters were paying close attention and will see their way to vote the Harris/Walz ticket. She's a winner!
I want to believe reality will penetrate the delusions of some MAGA folks and blossom for undecideds. It was as if a child and adult occupied the stage at the same time 🤷🏼♀️

After that debacle, even Trump is "blue". See you in court Donald...
Viktor Obrán, Is that the best he can do to come up with an reference? I’d be embarrassed.

Hope there is a second debate!
Yes! When he said that, I wanted David Muir to respond, “You do realize he’s a dictator?”
OMG that would have been epic! LOL

I’m going to sleep soundly tonight 🥱💙

Watch a replay - it worth seeing their expressions

My one complaint is that the moderators allowed Trump to bloviate ad nauseum using overtime.
Yes, that was irritating, but it also allowed Trump to dig his own grave. Bloviators gotta bloviate...
I agree but they did the best at pushing back… stock up David Muir… stock down Jake Tapper

We again saw Trump’s character on display,
Lack of empathy for others.
Impulsive behavior.
Attempting to control others with threats or aggression.
Using intelligence, charm, or charisma to manipulate others.
Not learning from mistakes or punishment.
Lying for personal gain.
Showing a tendency toward physical violence and fights.
