I have been disappointed by that as well but this has been astoundingly good as far as debates have gone. The immediate fact checking is long overdue. And frankly I look forward to pointing at Trump's extra speaking time as a bulwark against the "iT wAs BiAsEd By ThE lIbErAL mOdErAtOrS" complaints.
I’ve been genuinely impressed by their real-time fact checking. They’re swatting away every wild thing he says calmly and with specific examples of the truth. These moderators are incredibly well-prepared.
Hopefully that's the standard from now on. Unless Donny finally kicks the bucket we're probably gonna be seeing more of him even if he loses in November
As much as I want to agree I still don't think it's likely he'll ever see the inside of a cell. Not when the highest court in the land is almost entirely made up of his servants
To me, if trump loses, the charges will start piling up. Sure it may be years until he's actually punished but I wouldn't rule it out. Not with everything he is up against (so far). I'd bet money trump is committing more crimes to this day.
And the best part was that when they did interrupt her, she finished her sentence, then stopped talking
(Except for one time where it really looked like trump was gonna set her off but she still held up)
I think it's safe to say this is without a doubt the best performance we've seen from a candidate against Trump, which imo really speaks to her ability to keep her composure under pressure, which isn't easy, especially when everybody expects you to be absolutely flawless.
It was such a huge stage tonight and she was beyond solid. Like you said, the best democratic performance since... can't remember. maybe you didn't say now that I think about it.
She came off so reasonable and nailed all the points that should do damage to a turd like Trump.(i'm fine with name calling)
The problem is that they would hone in on that and make the debate about that rather than Kamala. They took the L for her Win. It's shitty. But what they had to do to make her the focal point. He absolutely is gaslighting them to make it about what he wants.
Who is "they" in this context? If you're talking about trumpers, they're a lost cause, man. They're always going to have some alternate version of reality. The only way we're going to move forward as a country is if we stop worrying about what they're going to say or do. We cannot let the tyranny of the minority hold this country hostage.
They're afraid to be called unfair after he said that they'd be unfair. It's one of the strategies that us uses to suppress fighting back against his lies and ineptitude.
First, your preemptively accuse someone of something.
Second you do awful things that would normally rightfully get a response, but the authorities have to be careful otherwise you'll accuse them of doing the thing they should be doing.
Third, you get your way even though you broke the rules, or you get to yell about how you knew, just knew! That you'd be treated badly.
That was Harris's request, I thought. In the original terms for the Trump/Biden debate, each person's mic was shut off except when it was their turn to speak. Harris asked for that to be changed to allow interruptions, and Trump went along with it. If that's not working out for Harris, she should probably talk to her own team that wanted it, instead of whining about the moderators.
Weird 34 was just showing off his misogyny. It's disrespectful to talk over women and take up their time. The debate proves Harris's point that Sleepy DonOLD cares only about himself and goes to great lengths to tell more and more lies.
This is not a new development, dude. Do we really need to rehash the lessons of the last 8 years again? The people who vote for him don't care about your sensibilities. They like that he's rude and think it shows strength.
You may have missed the point of the debate, which is to help people on the fence choose a side. Anyone on the fence HAS been asleep the last 8 years and ought to not choose to side with Cult 34 and their rude, misguided values. I expect many a boomer MAGAt has a wet dream of the rapist groping her on stage.
DonOLD was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York. He hopes people don't keep his factual criminality on the top of their minds. The purpose and motive of the crime was to deceive voters. It's election fraud.
The mic being active or not doesn't affect her hearing. If he interrupts her she'd still hear it, only the TV audience wouldn't, so she'd seem flustered.
