Tonight's Debate

[Bruce_Leiter]

The debate on all the networks tonight at 9 PM ET for an hour-and-a-half ought to be interesting to inform us of the candidates' views. 

[other one]

some of us who have been paying attention for 50 years kind of already know.  It will be interesting to see if they will tell us the truth tonight.

I don't think politicians are required to tell the truth

Their views have been made known.  I expect this "debate" to be a clown fest.  We are talking about two people who hate each other more than I've seen two politicians hate in my lifetime.  Tonight is not about informing the country of their views.  It's about who can insult the other one the most.

I won't be watching. I don't watch Liberal Networks. Plus, I know where Trump stands and I'm so proud to say he has my vote!

Woof, my expectations were low but WOW, what a sham. That was practically a second assassination attempt. The bias was so bald-faced that if Harris still wins the only reasonable conclusion is that so much of this country is so inured and brainwashed that there's really no hope for a return to American greatness anymore. Fortunately this world is not our home because the spiral is just getting faster and crazier.

I watched the debate.  

And Trump was right about the pets although Kamala scoffed at him.   I already had heard about the Haitians decapitating ducks in the park and taking them home to eat!!!

But apparently cats are a delicacy...one poor child's cat used for food, hanging from a tree in a Haitian family backyard.

Well we know Kamala flip flops back and forth just to gain the votes.

And that's pretty much what it was!  It appears Kamala's strategy was to dodge and then throw out some bait for trump to jump on, which bait he usually took and went into defense mode.  This strategy kept him from really hitting her hard on her weaknesses.  He should have generally ignored much of the barbs from her, which would have looked more presidential for him, in my opinion.

Here's a balanced perspective on the debate: https://www.allsides.com/story/2024-presidential-election-who-won-trump-harris-debate

Patti, you can always watch on FoxLive....the same moderators, of course, but conservative commentators.

YouTube would still have the whole debate.   I did post a few excerpts in the video forum.

 

It was amazing how Kamala didn't answer the first question but went into a story about her upbringing!     The question being are you better off today than four years ago!

Anyone that's honest would say no.... inflation is so terribly high, groceries, etc. so high priced.
