As long as Kamala actually provides details on how she plans to solve problems she will already have won. Trump refuses to explain anything he plans on doing, probably because he knows it will either show that he is in it for power, or that he doesn't have a clue what he is doing. Probably both. His only strategy is to insult his opponent, and I think he is struggling to find attacks on Kamala that will stick. She's not as easy of a target as Biden is.

Has we won a debate?
Depends on your point of view. Either he won the last one or Biden lost it. But, now the script is flipped and he's an old weirdo. 😄
Don't worry fam, I gotchu. Regards, God.
Doesn't matter. Go out and vote.
The Harris camp is in a good spot, but I still have band-aids from the wounds that Biden left after he was picking his tongue up off the floor at the last debate. I was optimistic until he royally fucked that up and before the debate his supporters thought he would wipe the floor with Trump.
I have hope, but I am cautiously aware of the fact that Trump sways voters with his bullshit. Kamala can fuck this up too as much as I don't want to see that.
She's a former prosecutor. He's a compulsive liar, misogynist and racist former reality TV star with dementia who isn't used to being told to wait his turn before he can speak.
He better pray to every god he can come up with.
Harris didn't do well in 2020 (edit: 2019) though. She was very uncharismatic. To her credit, she seems to have worked on that a lot since then.
I wouldn’t say Trump has much charisma left either.
Yeah but he has a cult behind him who takes every one of his words as gospel
He needs more than them to win.
Not really. EC path is still a toss up right now.

I agree, plus people are generally tired of him. He rode a transient wave in 2016 but things are different now.

She’s a former prosecutor. He’s a compulsive liar
People developing some real blinkered views of the trustworthiness of prosecutors, all of a sudden. John Corbyn, Greg Abbott, and Ken Paxton are all current/former AGs and they lie like it's breathing.
It's about being able to form cogent arguments and rebuttals while publicly speaking. It has nothing to do with trustworthiness.
I keep asking you this and you keep refusing to answer, but I'll ask you again: Who should Americans vote for president in November?
They're saying that speaking in a formal setting to convince people of stuff was literally her whole deal for 90% of her career, not that she won't lie.
Trustworthiness is not even slightly what people mean by that. What they're talking about is her having exceptional debating skills because that's what you do in a courtroom.

As the article says, she is only level in key swing states. While 538 does give her good chances overall, they also gave Clinton a 70% chance of winning. It is closer than it should be so make sure to get it and vote and make sure that your friends do too.
