He was the same at the Biden debate, he was just the only candidate that actually showed up then. The contrast was glaring.
The media will not let this lose momentum. There's enough sound bites from this debate to spread out over the next couple months.
They're claiming she's already challenged Trump to a second one. It'll depend on the campaign internal polls. If either side thinks they have it in the bag there won't be another on.
Yes and if he would just answer the fucking questions with substance instead of getting derailed he would control the discussion. Instead he blabbers on with “millions and millions, maybe billions” with no actual facts.
I hate that about his talking points. I wish he would tone that stuff down. It would look a lot better.
This. I mean, she does the same but the moderators hammer Trump to specifically answer the question while acting like Kamala's ramblings completely unrelated to the question at hand were perfect. "
This, in spades.
Perfect analysis.
In writing in for Haley, because my vote for pres in my state doesn’t matter. But that was a compelling debate performance. In same way I cringed and clenched watched Biden implode, I laughed out loud about the pet eating part. I liked how Harris used the prosecutors playbook and sidestepping facts to try and goad the “defendant” to show the “jury” what the person is really like. It was exactly what I expected to happen. And it’s exactly why I’d want a composed, intelligent stateswoman like Haley to be responding. She could articulate conservative(ish) policy differences better than redirecting to immigration and eating pets.I will forever ask any Harris supporters how they feel about supporting the devils own choice
You may be right, I guess Bonanza is the ultimate litmus test for that. I don't think the general population Bush era republican will vote Harris, but if bonanza is swayed, it may be more prevalent than I think.
I could see it driving those people away from the pole, which is the same as increasing own turnout
Funny how Harris can’t answer the question of whether she wants Israel to win doesn’t make her week on foreign policy.
She was pretty clear. She believes in Israel's' right to self defense, but maintains it's important in how they defend themselves. She said that specifically, and it's a reasonable statement. Her administration's continuing support of Israel certainly speaks to that as well.
Yea, she made that clear several weeks ago when she couldn’t be bothered to meet the president of Israel.
The only way to end that war is to negotiate an agreement, that is the only way it was ever going to end. Russia is not going to run out of conscript cannon fodder no matter how many Ukrainians go into the meat grinder or how many weapons we send them. Trump is 1000% right to not commit to "wanting Ukraine to win" What does winning look like? Pushing Russia out of the territory it has taken since it invaded? since the 2014 invasion? Are we expecting Ukrainian troops to Depose Putin and Burn Moscow? It is a shit unspecific question and honestly his answer was one of his better for the night. Hey says he wants to end the war and the killing, a vague promise to support Ukraine until "victory" is a dedication to continuing this proxy war until the last Ukrainian is dead.
I find it very telling how two people see the exact same exchange in totally different ways. That should be a wake up call for some people.
Because he isn't a deft debater. He is a master of the media, a master of appealing to crowds. But with no crowds, muted mics, a skilled opponent, and moderators who were quick to push back, he floundered bigly. He didn't lose in the way Biden lost, and this debate won't push the needle much, if at all. Trump's biggest issue from here is how he responds to what he will certainly hear about how he lost to a woman; a democrat woman.
...and very likely, many Americans when we decide to jump in with both feet ourselves.
You're writing in for Nikki Haley? Hell, why not just write in the real thing? Dick Cheney.
This is why I'm still a "Bush republican". Geopolitical conflicts, and their effects, are never isolated in their consequences. Globalism is here, and has been here. I don't give two shits about the Kursk Oblast or the people who live there. I do care about how the encroaching of Russia impacts Eastern Europe, European defense spending, Chinese/Russian expanding influence in Africa/South America, global grain and oil prices, to name a few. All of those, and more, are being directly impacted by the war, and Russian success is not good for American interests. We want foreign nations to buy our planes; not SU-37s. The next time India has to put in an order for new tanks, we want it to be Abrahms, not T-90s.
Wut? How is Harris more “presidential”?
It's the economy stupid. That statement is as true today as it was in 1992.
Counterpoint is we have been at war damn near my entire life, and nothing is getting better. I have watched standard of living here drop while tensions escalate, and this is also fitting on the anniversary of a retaliatory strike against us for meddling all over the world and arguably the begining of the end of the United States global empire. We are in the brink of a nuclear war for one of the gayest reasons ever.
