Hey don’t shoot the messenger it’s there if you want to look at it or not.

If it was the only concern for moderates it would have destroyed him. Really going to boil down to what people think of the economy at this point and they will remember that she also dodged questions such as not answering if things are more expensive and people being worse off now than 3.5 years ago. That will stick in people's minds as well.

We will see!

Know what’s funny? If a regular guy said stuff that Trump said today, we’d look at him funny and just ignore him completely. But no, he’s actually running for the most powerful position in the world. Sigh

I’ll just reiterate:

If that was a deposition. My boss and I would be walking out of there grinning ear to ear.

Hah, my wife asked how anyone can watch the debate and still vote for Trump. I just laughed and said they didn’t watch the debate they just watched this. And switch over to Hannity on Fox. 

after about five minutes she understood. 

My wife and I were just having the same conversation. How bad does your judgment have to be to watch that and think, yea that guy seems like he’d be a good president.

Trump -- immigrants are eating our pets.

Um .... wanna provide a bit of actual unbiased data to support that claim?

hahahahaha

 

[wdefromtx 3,611]

Probably made more people decide not to vote at all than making someone that was undecided go their way.

Lots of people are tired of having to vote against someone. 

This debate just highlights just how low we have sunk with our choices. 

A nutjob and someone who at least half the country knows damn well she is too far left for most people to stomach and is outright lying to try to make people think she isn't. 

If they would have put a real moderate on their ticket they would be running away in a landslide by now.

The best part of it was when they hit back at him and said “the city manager has said that no pets have been eaten” and Trump kept arguing 😂😂

Which means “the right wing crackpots who think for me have a plan and I can’t read so I can’t speak about it”.

Read his social media. The entire debate was that.

"I saw it on TV."

Couldn't believe he said that.

This is exactly why fact-checkers are paramount in these debates. Once they pushed back, you can see it got under trump’s skin and he eventually melted down. And went on these weird tirades.

This part killed me. Trump has already been the president and had 4 years since then to prepare his policies. 

All he has is a concept of a healthcare plan.

So let me get this straight, this is all the democrat’s fault now because we didn’t run a more moderate candidate than a historically moderate candidate? You are seriously blaming the democrats for not running a more “moderate” candidate?

get outa here with that shiz man

Silver’s take is that this comes off as a resounding Kamala victory.

Please list Kamala's policies that are too far left for the majority of the country.

If I ever take a deposition with that many wild successfully baited answers, I’ll just retire.

Or not considered moderate policies in all first world democracies.

Sounds like projection. Sunk low with choices? Trump’s the one that’s been sinking while Harris generates a lot of energy and hype for her fanbase. I’m stoked to vote for Harris, and that’s a refreshing feeling knowing I don’t have to choose someone just because I don’t want the other person to win.

SMDH.

Well it’s damn sure not the Republicans fault. They can’t be held to any standards!
