    Harris needs to bring. It home. This is that time for a Shining City on the hill while Trump will talk about American carnage.

    Again, both of them presented almost NOTHING in terms of concrete, substantiated plans. She rambled something about throwing some handouts at people who want to buy houses and get pregnant, that was about it.

    The intellectual depth of this "debate" is an embarrassment.

    I wonder how long Biden has been sleeping by now. Jill is already watching her crime docs.

    It’s the GOP playbook. Offer nothing in terms of plan or policy and instead fear monger and blame anyone else’s ideas for everything.

    make no mistake, the VP debate will be even worse than this for the Trump campaign, and tonight was an absolute beatdown

    Tim Walz will beat tf out of JD Vance

    I wonder why the debates have trended towards candidates just trying to roast each other instead of talking about policy?

    I won't talk about Trump, but appeal to populism in general is going to be about stoking fear in the hearts of voters. The other side is EVIL, INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT.

    I would welcome a return to normalcy.

    That wasn’t the point of the debate. It never was going to be an involved policy discussion because in none of Trump’s debates going back to 2015 has he had an involved policy discussion.

    This was about whether Harris could stand up to Trump’s attack.

    The biggest Harris line in the debate was delivered by Trump. "I have a concept of a plan"

    The question was about how he has been working on 9 years on a Healthcare plan. Does he have one?

    Kamala settled down and did well. Trump, on the other hand, imploded. He was ranting, lying and saying weird stuff. This was a landslide.

    that was such a wild way to address inflation

    “well give more money to people who buy property or get pregnant”

    Future presidential candidates are taking notes. Just get some hometown moderators and then lie your asses off during the debate.
    Facts checkers are working overtime tonight.

    I'll be honest - I don't think Trump won this debate. He hasn't done himself any favours.

    She came prepared, baited him, got some soundbites out, threw some fake melodrama out there, etc.

    Pretty sure people will say she won this one.

    I liked all of Reagan, George Bush, Clinton, Obama, McCain, Gore, Mitt Romney better than either of these two. I also think all of them were more intellectually capable - and more respectful with each other.

    Y’all expect detailed policy in 2 minute time allotments? Lol

    the average voter is dumb anyways

    debates have always been about vibes 1st, substance 2nd

    conservatives will desperately try to “both sides” Kamala and Trump, and will look like clowns doing so

    Tim Walz could’ve actually been the guy. Vance might piss his pants on stage. They should make see through podiums so we can all catch it if he does.

    It isn’t that place because we have a totally unhinged ex president who still believes he won the last election and that Haitians are running rampant in Springfield OH eating cats and dogs somehow still could be president again.

    People said that about her because up until yesterday she didn't have any policies on her website
