[Copper]

Each candidate will have a healthy supply of gotchas, supplied by a huge team that has been working on them for years.

[George K]

I dunno. Which to watch...Harris/Trump, or this:

[George K]

Harris's smirking is almost as annoying as Trump's tie.

[Copper]

I hit the wall at 12 minutes.

Maybe I'll go back for a few more minutes later.

Maybe not

[kluurs]

Should never watch this sober.

[LuFins Dad]

I’ve been assembling Legos with Finley, but I saw this clip. If she’s acting like this all the time, then it’s over.

You're right.

I'm not.

Well, almost not.

[kluurs]

If it’s a tie, Trump wins. Trump seems coherent so far. Kamala just suggested people are bored at his rallies. That got him going.

[Copper]

cnn commentators love Harris, she can do no wrong, she is superwoman

Haha on the way! I’m rocking the 3rd kiddo to sleep then will crack open a Truly and watch.

[George K]

Why is David Muir fact-checking Trump in real time?

This is a nut-picking account. You really think he chose a representative moment to clip?

[LuFins Dad]

@jon-nyc absolutely not, but at that point the debate was only 10 minutes old and the response was 2 minutes of it. I’ve watched more since then, and every single time he’s talked, she’s done the same thing. It’s very distracting and not endearing…

Rehearsed body language and facial expressions meant to convey joyful sneering condescension.

[George K]

Oh God, she said "Fine people" in Charlottesville.

But it doesn’t matter, these moderators aren’t going to call her on it.

[LuFins Dad]

Trump let her lead him down a rabbit hole when he could have given much better answers.

She’s done okay on her answers for the most part, but the facial expressions when he’s talking are hurting her.

[Jolly]

I'm biased, but she simply doesn't look presidential to me.

[Jolly]

Some thoughts...

Harris was very prepared. But Jesus, that whiny, nasal voice.

Trump did not have his best night.

The worst performer of the night was ABC. They would not ask Harris about previous policy positions and I thought helped her out with some questions. I thought some of his questions were much tougher.
