I’m going to fix this for you…First debate I've watched in a long long time. Kamala has a pretty mouth but what came outta it sure wasn't flattering for her.
No such thing any more. The country’s completely tribal now. The debate was pointless, thus I didn’t watch.If swing voters look at the facts he won
Trump is not a trained attorney, he’s a successfully negotiator. The difference between a trained presenter and a talented negotiator was clearly evident in the debate. She won, if your judging on slick, he won if your judging on content. Most people judge on slick.Trump is such a poor, ineffective debater. Policies and politics aside, he really isn’t any good at this debate stuff.
Harris refused to answer the basic questions. Of course, had she done that in some instances it would have been really bad. Her closing was strong. (Not on policy, just on delivery.)
Trump really sucked tonight. He needs a major bounce back if anyone agrees to do another one of these.
The Democrats set it up, along with the moderators/hosts to attack Trump as if he were the incumbent, not her. The entire debate was fixed to make Trump defend his administration rather than the last 3.5 years of Harris/Biden’s Presidency. It was well orchestrated and well delivered too that objective, by Harris. Trump….. too some degree had no alternative to push back against the scheme. That would have been hard for anyone to have looked good based on the fixed agenda, based on the orchestration that took place. Still, having said that he looked defensive and petty……….. which was the goal. Based on the gaol, she played her roll well, him, as usual, he wasn’t roll playing….. he was reaction as only he does. Trump is a one man knife fighter……… that’s what he is and is exactly what we need, in my opinion.Oh, I wouldn't characterize my opinion as thinking Harris "won" anything. I just thought her closing was well done and will appeal to people that don't know better. Besides that, she pretty much dodged every question, so I'm not ready to crown her victor on the debate just yet.
Trump just sucks at this stuff. I wish he was humble enough to surround himself with smart people and then listen to those people. He also refused to answer the questions but appeared pretty desperate and not in control for most of the evening. A debate is about confidence and control, not whining and bickering. He is pretty good at whining and bickering, he sucks at confidence and control (on the debate stage, at least).
Well said Lumpy! Interesting poll coming from CNN after the debate saying Trump was up 20% on able to handle the economy and up in regards to handling the job as commander in chief, along with immigration.The Democrats set it up, along with the moderators/hosts to attack Trump as if he were the incumbent, not her.

Interesting. She showed herself as the slick politician she is....no substance but buttery speech. It reminded me of a movie performance, scripted and practiced...And the Oscar goes to camel-a.
All early and absentee voting needs to go away. Day of, paper ballots. That’s how it’s supposed to work and the only way to combat fraud. If you don’t care enough to get off your ass and vote that’s your problem. And cry be a river about people it’s hard for. Go vote or don’tEarly voting is designed for people to make a decision at that moment. That helps the Democrats. If a person has to wait until 11\05 they will vote on the full election picture. That helps the Republicans.
All the stations that had real time monitoring showed Trump crushed it with undecided voters.
In another debate Trump will crush both. Much like 2020.
Trump is his worst enemy, but 3on1 was pretty sad.
Exactly!All early and absentee voting needs to go away. Day of, paper ballots. That’s how it’s supposed to work and the only way to combat fraud. If you don’t care enough to get off your ass and vote that’s your problem. And cry be a river about people it’s hard for. Go vote or don’t
Lol.... I think it should be more than 1 day to vote to accommodate for weather and other disruptions.I’m 100% all in on mail in ballots.
Give me mail in ballots or give me death!!!!
It should be a national holiday, give people the day off to vote. No excuses, get your ass to the polls and vote.Lol.... I think it should be more than 1 day to vote to accommodate for weather and other disruptions.
But weeks/months is a joke
So employers foot the bill?It should be a national holiday, give people the day off to vote.

True, I didn’t think of that.So employers foot the bill?
See above, I shouldn’t have said national holiday but if people need time to vote they should have it.We are going to close all hospitals, jails, prisons, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, etc., etc., etc. (This would be come a really long list!)
Things seem easy, until they aren’t.
We should trade Labor Day, Presidents Day, and MLK Day for Election Day. Then people get to vote and employers get to pay less holiday pay.So employers foot the bill?
I think most places give time off to go vote? I may be wrong. Where I work, they and all contractors get time off to vote.True, I didn’t think of that.
How about a few hours during the day to vote? Clock out, they go vote, come back to work?
It only sounds like a win, win for th employers.We should trade Labor Day, Presidents Day, and MLK Day for Election Day. Then people get to vote and employers get to pay less holiday pay.
Win Win
The problem with mail-in ballot, there seems to be a few cold dead hands that are voting.We are going to close all hospitals, jails, prisons, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, etc., etc., etc. (This would become a really long list!)
Things seem easy, until they aren’t. You can take my mail-in ballot out of my cold, dead hands!
Yup……. and those are all good reason to vote for Trump.The poor old orange guy has nothing but hate and fear to sell and it's still in the same package with the same tired sales pitch as 8 years ago.
Polymarket was dropping his odds during the debate and ended up down 4.7 by the end. a hilarious disaster that was trump's best rally so far.
When you're so far out in space VP Cheney endorses someone like Harris there's your sign, you're not in the GOP, you're in a cult.
Go after work. My God guys it’s worked like that for literal decades! It’s not hard. Doesn’t even require problem solving skills. Hit the middle school on the way home.True, I didn’t think of that.

The best endorsement I could possibly image for trump is Cheney endorsing camel toe. If you can’t figure out that whatever that war monger son if a bish is for you should be against then you are hopelessWhen a RINO campaigns against him, you know he’s working toward the right solutions
People are saying one of the reasons we have to have mail-in voting is because they don’t have time to do it. I was trying to find a way to make it easier but secure.Go after work.

This. This is why we’re doomed
Again. Cry me a river. If it matters make time. The nail in thing is straight fraud, nothing else. Do a little looking into the country’s that eliminated mail in voting and why around the world. We’re one of the few “democracy’s “ left that allow it.People are saying one of the reasons we have to have mail-in voting is because they don’t have time to do it.

Wow. That might be the most racist thing I’ve ever read. You do know black people cant get ID in this country right?What’s wrong with showing up to vote and pretending proof of Citizenship!!!!
Passport
Legal photo real ID from the state you live in
Should also be required to get welfare benefits
Rino, I love that cult excuse for losing real republicans. Cheney is a RINO, yeah, and Keith Richards has never done drugs.
A RINO is a republican who refuses to drink the orange Kool aid and live for the next idiotic conspiracy story from dear leader.
On the bright side, dear leader does have a " concept for a plan " to replace Obamacare. he's been thinking on it for 9 years so no doubt it's close. HA !
The term your looking for is neo con and it doesn’t matter the letter they choose to put behind their name. Both parties are full of them. They love war and worship death. Keep voting for those guys your virtue will be intact that wayCheney is a RINO
You are the only one that called Cheney a RINO.Rino, I love that cult excuse for losing real republicans. Cheney is a RINO, yeah, and Keith Richards has never done drugs.

Definitely not the person you want backing you up. Especially if he is holding a shotgun.You are the only one that called Cheney a RINO.
I read someone called him a "war monger son of a bish"
Nothing like everyone paying a different cost. What's more fare than the rich subsidies the poor for the same product.F-Obama Care!
Bingohave a feeling the hatred of Trump is rooted in all their war machine gravy train going the way of the Dodo if he's elected again?
His X feed is pretty funnyHow's about ol' lunatic Antonio Brown, former NFL wide receiver. Apparently, he live Tweeted the and posted a few zingers.
Yeah. Lots of wars during his administration. No I didn’t watch the linkThink we have a representative government of, by and for the people? Former cyber expert at the State Dept. shows otherwise.
Worth watching if you want to know why we're involved in a war in Ukraine and why Trump must never take office again.
Opened my eyes with receipts & the corrupt mechanics what exactly transpired... that continues today & is only accelerating.Yeah. Lots if wars during his administration. No I didn’t watch the link
Easy there snoop……..What a bunch of lumps. Lamestream media--what a joke
Is it the mean tweets?Republicans could play a lot less defense if we'd pick our best candidates.
Love or hate Trump's policies, he's divisive and easily hatable. Which is fine for the dyed in the wool loyal followers of the GOP, or what the GOP is becoming. It doesn't work for those that we need to win elections. There simply are not enough of those dyed in the wool folks I mentioned above to win national elections anymore.
Pick a conservative (something I'd still argue DJT is not...) that is strong, but not a total A hole that middle America could stomach voting for when the other option is as horrid as Kamala Harris.
Or not...and we suffer the consequences.
Mean tweets and him preventing wars.Is it the mean tweets?
The Republican’t have never held enough seats in the Senate or the House since Eisenhower, due to far too many RINO’s holding Republican’t seats.The Communists said, back in the 50's I believe, that we would be taken over without firing a shot. We would implode from within.
Well, here we are. It's happening right before our eyes.
I just wish the Republicans would quit playing Defense.
Apologies, kind sir. I don't lump you in with those lumps.Easy there snoop……..
Just messing with ya snoop.Apologies, kind sir. I don't lump you in with those lumps.
Is it the mean tweets?
What's funny is that Oprah among others wanted him to run with them. Snoopdog and most of Hollywood loved him. Take a look at his comedy central roast. They hate him now for not falling inline and promote the liberal agenda.DJT was easily hatable long before he was ever a presidential candidate or twitter existed.
He certainly was dislikable before he was ever a candidate. I dislikable him as much as anyone, I’m sure. I still do and I still will, after he’s out of politics. I’m not a discriminating disliker. I dislike a lot of people……….. Big deal.DJT was easily hatable long before he was ever a presidential candidate or twitter existed.
You can keep saying "mean tweets" like it's some kind of badge of honor, and republicans can keep losing elections. At least you'll have your mean tweets, I guess.
I'd prefer not having Kamala Harris be president, personally. But people can choose what they want. It's America!
I still have his back! C'mon, I've never wavered.What's funny is that Oprah among others wanted him to run with them. Snoopdog and most of Hollywood loved him. Take a look at his comedy central roast. They hate him now for not falling inline and promote the liberal agenda.
Loved as a Democrat
Hated as a Republican
How is he hated more than Biden or Kamala? Because the mainstream media says so?
Take a look at shanksville in the fire station?
Biden/Kamala walk in and nobody even looks up?
Trump walks in and the crowd erupts.
He certainly was dislikable before he ever a candidate. I dislikable him as much as anyone, I’m sure. I still do and I still will, after he’s out of politics. I’m not a discriminating disliker. I dislike a lot of people……….. Big deal.
Even though I don’t like him, I respect him because he wants what I want………. for our Country and that outweighs all of my likes and dislikes. And he’s a tough, and a relentless powerful knife fighter in a fight that’s here, whether we like, recognize, or deny it. We’re in a fight. I support him because he’s our knife fighter.
Call me irrational and extreme all you want folks………. Two guys tried to kill him, possible more that weren’t as successful as these to that got catch before they could hold a rifle on him. So you tell me who’s irrational or extreme…….. Trump or the left?
Have a great day V. I get what you’re saying but I can’t help responding, from my view of the situation.
Snoopdog the rapper.I still have his back! C'mon, I've never wavered.
P.S. You spelled my name wrong-- two G's.
When you’re in a blood fight, and we’re in one, don’t you agree that it’s high time to get upset?You are absolutely entitled to whatever opinion you want to have on this stuff. I stopped being upset about people's politics or judging them harshly for their stances many, many years ago. Just too much grey involved to get upset if someone simply just sees it differently than I do.
The opinions that will matter the most ultimately will be those that elect our next president. Those will not be determined by the dyed in the wool on either the right or the left. I'm not suggesting that your vote and my vote don't matter because we live in a place where the republican candidate is going to win in this election regardless, because I don't think any vote cast is a wasted vote. I'm just suggesting that if "we" were smart we would pick candidates that could pull enough in the middle to win. After all, a candidate we love (I know neither of us love the current one, just speaking in general) that loses doesn't do much good.
Heck, I'd even compromise on a couple of my own values to get someone that mostly agrees with me elected instead of someone I don't agree with hardly anything. Hell, the GOP is becoming pro-choice before our eyes because of what Trump is telling them to do. There are way less important issues than that I'd be willing to bend on in the middle to get a candidate that was going to beat Kamala in a landslide. But here we are, staring down the real possibility that we can't win in November. And we only have ourselves to blame.
