Vice President Kamala Harris WON the first and probably only debate against ex-president Donald Trump by miles….
It wasn’t close….
The Donald Trump that showed up was old, tired, lost and angry….
He was carrying a bag full of yesterday’s negatives….
And when he opened it time and again?
The same Bull Shit kept coming out…..
Top thing out of the bag?
Migrants….
Migrants destroying America
Migrants eating pets….
And THAT was his main story line….
Donald Trump tried his ole sidewalk act and it fell flat….
The moderator’s didn’t entertain it…
Cutting him off repeatedly when he tried to use his ‘weave’ to go off on a tangent….
Harris also showed a cool calm against Trump’s rants…..
Showcasing her actions and making points in showcasing Trump’s legal problems, association’s and failures in his time in office and lack of feeling for women’s issues….
In the end?
It would seem that the tables where turned and Trump did his best Joe Biden imitation during the debate…
He crashed and burned…..
CNN snap poll had Harris with the Win 63% to Trump 37%…..
No amount of blaming ABC and the moderators are gonna erase the stunning lack of knowledge, history, empathy and reality Donald Trump displayed on the stage.
Harris said she had ‘Fun’ and is open for a second debate….
Trump says that is unlikely…..
It appears pretty unanimous that Kamala Harris absolutely crushed Donald Trump in last night’s presidential debate. I’ve pulled together a summary of reactions from across the punditry:
- “It may very well be the best televised debate performance ever.” — Lawrence O’Donnell, MSNBC.
- “Donald Trump got destroyed in this debate because he can’t control his mind. And you don’t want a president of the United States that is not in full control of his mind.” — Joy Reid, MSNBC.
- “Harris won — and it wasn’t close. She showed up as her prosecutorial self, effectively putting Trump in the witness stand throughout much of the debate. Democrats have to be downright giddy.” — Adam Wren, Politico.
- “Vice President Kamala Harris demonstrated in Tuesday night’s presidential debate, in case any rational person had doubts, that she is the only decent, prepared and fit candidate in the presidential race. In both her answers and demeanor, she demonstrated the unmistakable contrast between a mature, responsible adult and someone who resembles the mean, crazy relative no one wants to sit next to at the holiday table.” — Jennifer Rubin, Washington Post.
- “Donald Trump made a raving, rambling fool of himself in that debate.” — Frank Bruni, The New York Times.
- “Vice President Harris’ supporters have got to be pleased with her performance this evening,…Over and over, baiting Donald Trump into talking about crowd sizes and court cases and Nancy Pelosi and Russiagate and grievances. And he took the bait almost every time!” — Jake Tapper, CNN.
- “You had one candidate that was completely unhinged, just completely off his rocker. He looked badly, he looked old. he looked disconnected from reality, he looked enraged.” — Joe Scarborough, Morning Joe.
- “Kamala Harris: Winner by knock out,” – Mike Madrid, The Lincoln Project.
- “This has to be thought of as a collapse for Donald Trump. The two common things said were ‘trainwreck’ and ‘he needs this to end.’ He didn’t seem like he was ready.” — Fox pundit Harold Ford Jr.
- “Trump lost the debate and whining about the moderators doesn’t change it. He didn’t lose because of their behavior. He lost because of his own performance while his lips were moving, not theirs.” — Wingnut Erick Erickson…..

Trump’s Trainwreck
National Review: “If you’re obsessing over how bad, how in the tank for Kamala Harris, the two ABC news moderators were, it’s because you don’t want to come to grips with the brute fact that Donald Trump was a disaster last night. He was unhinged, often incoherent, incapable of completing thoughts and sentences when he had points to make, and led into self-absorbed rabbit-holes — claims that he won the 2020 election, the size of his rallies, whether ‘migrants’ are eating stolen pets — that diverted him from opportunity after opportunity to expose Harris as a radical leftist now pretending to be a pragmatic centrist who suddenly loves her some guns.”
“Trump had one job: stay on message about Harris’s dizzying renunciations of her positions — so inexplicable that Harris has dribbled them out through nameless campaign sources rather than addressed them in her own voice…”
“Trump couldn’t do it. And yes, that’s largely because he is an undisciplined solipsist so effortlessly drawn into railing about rally attendance when the subject at hand is Harris’s indefensible border record — and if you think last night’s target audience cares whether the interlocutor steering Trump off course was Harris or the moderators, then you’re missing the point.”
“But there’s more to it than that. Trump also couldn’t stick to deconstructing Harris’s ‘values’ bunk because his own values are always negotiable.”

Interesting…..
Harris does GOOD and no Jack, eh?

Why can’t ask for his views?

Ghost of SE says
He might be getting out and helping to flip his district. Actually made that candidate, who is the grandson of Civil Rights icon Robert Smalls, my third donation in 12 hours.
jamesb says
I keep getting hit with Democratic solicitations….
I WILL give to the Harris camapign shortly…..
Ghost of SE says
I don’t donate to Presidential or marquee Senate races. Lots of donor cash flowing there. My $50 won’t be noticed.
Your district, I think repped by D’Esposito, would be a better option. Or LaLota’s seat.
jamesb says
Yep…..

A Catastrophic Debate for Trump
Karl Rove: “Will this debate have an effect? Yes, though perhaps not as much as Team Harris hopes or as much as Team Trump might fear. But there’s no putting lipstick on this pig. Mr. Trump was crushed by a woman he previously dismissed as ‘dumb as a rock.’ Which raises the question: What does that make him
