    Was hilarious Trump meandering around the spin room trying to do damage control :D:D. That's what debate winners do, obviously. :rolleyes:

    I don’t why it is so hard for the Dems in here to understand. You can only gaslight people for so long, they eventually will figure it out that you’re lying to them. Kameltoe and Joementia owned this mess that they created for the average American. She was unable to answer the first question straight out of the gate “are you better off now than 4 years ago?”. Trump did not have his best night but the average Joe can see through the bullshiit from Kameltoe. And especially when they sit at their kitchen table trying to borrow from Peter to pay Paul.

    You are proof-positive that this isn't always the case.

    He couldn’t even look at her when she was answering questions because he was so intimidated. He looked weak, in addition to obese and old.

    You do know that if Kamala mentions her policies, it’s all a lie right. You’re witnessing her policies currently being implemented and they will be even worse if she takes office. For the life of me why can’t you Dems understand this and come clean? Except for the brainwashed woke and stupid Dems voters, you guys cannot fool the average American voter anymore.

    The Dems here don't understand because they live in an echo chamber and block anyone who has a different opinion. Unfortunately for them, that isn't the real world, and like you said the average American is tired of the gaslighting. The Kamala team sees it though.

    Trump lost because of Trump. It wasn't anything the moderators did that caused him to spout the crap he did.

    The moderators of the debate didn't press Harris to answer the questions when she avoided answering. But part of that is because she at least talked near the question. Trump didn't come anywhere near answering the question.

    If a traffic cop sees one speeder going 41 mph in a 35 zone mph over the speed limit and another going 75 mph, the cop isn't being unfair by ticketing the speeder going 75 mph.

    Questioning the moderators last night is as significant as questioning whether Trump's tie was more candy apple red or fire-truck red.

    It made no difference in the performance at all.

    Even GOP pundits have pretty much admitted he lost the debate, but people here are blaming the game. It's pretty funny actually.

    I didn’t think he looked his best last night. In fact, he does look a little worn out. Maybe the constant traveling catches up with him, he’s nearly 80. One thing is for sure, nobody on that stage has dementia. I’ve been trying to tell the gaslighters in here about Joementia licking the invisible ice cream cone for years but got attacked and especially from that weirdo astros123.

    She really didn't talk "near the question" at all.

    Well first, Trump didn't lose.

    Second, Harris had just as many lies. You just like her as a candidate so you think it's not a big deal for her to lie.

    What lies did Trump say last night that was like going 75 in a 35 but Kamala's was only 41 in a 35?

    Do you know what "just as many" means? And if so, could you line them up to show their equal count. Or just find any source that does that for you?

    Since you seem genuinely sincere in your question, I’ll provide my answer. You can interpret it however you wish, as I can’t control how you respond to honest opinions based on data and facts.

    Presidential campaign policies aren’t necessarily lies (subjective); they’re more about vision (also subjective) that may not be realized due to the challenges a POTUS faces in implementing their plans, especially with Congressional gridlock (a factual observation). Once someone has served as POTUS, you can critique them for either misleading the public about their intentions and failing to fulfill their promises when they had the opportunity, or for being unable to carry out those promises due to a lack of experience, ineffective governance, or other reasons (subjective, but supported by factual historical data).

    As Vice President, Harris has influence, but the President is ultimately responsible for the administration's policies (subjective, with historical data to back it up). While the Trump campaign is trying to link Harris to Biden (smart of them), the fact is that the VP isn’t responsible for the administration's policies (again, subjective but historically supported).

    I’d also note that Trump, while in office, claimed he wasn’t responsible for his administration’s policies, deflecting criticism and accountability. If Trump supporters accepted this (no one really should), they should apply the same standard and not hold Biden, let alone the VP, accountable for his adminstriation policies.

    Lastly, while Biden is no longer in the race and this is no longer so relevant, he has successfully implemented many of his promises, including infrastructure improvements, bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US, investing in domestic chip manufacturing, and reducing drug costs. This is notable given the composition of Congress.

    Maybe in the 21st century, but there were quite a few at the beginning.

    So if you are relying on social media rather than her actual complete answer you will continue to look foolish.

    This what she actually said that was addressing the question.

    So yes, she absolutely talked near the question.
