Still has no idea what NATO dues are for and how they work, and still wants to be running against Biden.

Well just another deranged non answer.
Still thinks he's debating Biden.
Notice he says he wants the war to end. Not that he wants Russia out of Ukraine. He wants the war to end with Russia getting what Putin wants.

Trump's Ukraine solution: "...make others pay for it."
Easy question, who should win. He can't answer.
Here comes some Putin felatio.
I'm generally watching this to see if there's a performance that will genuinely move the polls, but I just don't know. I tend to believe there are very, very few undecided voters, so I'm not sure anything could be said here that's going to swing those voters. At this point it's about not losing support and motivating your supporters.
In that regard, I think Harris is doing well, and I don't think Trump has to do very well. His supporters just want him to communicate anger and hate. He has seemed able to barely trip over that very low bar.
I disagree. Harris is showing tact while Trump is acting like he's backed into a corner. I think she'll have won some voters.

This is so American that there are commercials
Gross, isn’t it? The debate used to be hosted by the league of women voters and available to any broadcaster.

I feel like she's using words like 'weak' to unsettle Trump and it's getting to him
Because he is weak.

Trump is foaming at the mouth. He's a cornered rat. He's not winning any moderates over with this weak display.
Also, the moderators keep letting him talk and cutting off Harris. I say let him cook himself.
She is fucking him up. But his followers will never see it.
His followers were never going to change their vote though.
Undecided voters are the target audience
The way she looks at him while calling him out is great to see. That’s gotta be getting to him.

She's holding her own. I think it's going as good as she would have hoped.

His rebuttals are pretty much DARVO. You can also tell he's getting fired up and tripping up.
It seems we know the answer to ‘will it be happy trump or angry trump?’ Angry. Very angry.
Can we just vote tomorrow? We're not going to make it to November.
Right now at the one-hour mark I would say Harris is winning the debate 65/35. But, I think for his supporters and undecideds already leaning his way, this hasn't moved the needle. That's more the result of the fact that his supporters are in the CoOM: Cult of Orange Man.
More like 90/10 and that's a very generous 10%. Trump has literally said nothing of substance or consequence. He is a foreign agent, spreading both very stupid and very treasonous propaganda on a national stage he has no business on.
I will say that about a year ago i was full MAGA. But now, I'm a bit more left leaning. Although that may be due to me stepping out of my cringe teenage phase
Yes, but the undecideds are likely leaning Harris now. He's just coming off as angry, rambling, dishonest, and unable to answer a question.
Realistically though, what could possibly move the needle for anyone who saw the shitshow he’s already caused and is still on board?
I mean yeah, that's pretty much how elections have been. There are no independents after all, just partisans that won't admit they're partisans.
Sweet lord The Daily Show writing room must be absolutely overjoyed they have so much Trump material.
Back to the non-sequitur of pipelines. Dude has a unhealthy fascination about hard pipes flowing sticky liquid.
"this is why we need a president who is not consistently weak and wrong" 😆
Why does he get to rebut her rebuttal???
I say let him cook himself. He's tweaking.
Trump gets to do whatever he wants. You should not be surprised at this point.
Because he yell loud enough to get picked up even when they mute him
And he may be minutes from leaving early at this point.
Trump has officially moved to the "no u" stage of his debate tactics.

“They can manipulate you with flattery and favors.” That’s an intelligence assessment IIRC.
No u! Toddler level rebuttal.
Boom! Calling out the fact that flattery and favors work on Trump!
