So what I learned tonight - Kamala is a gun owning proponent of fracking that loves George Bush and is super proud to be endorsed by Dick Cheney. Did I get that right?
Pretty close.
And ABC never called her on it.
Rumor is, WaPo is saying Harris wants another debate. That means her camp doesn't think she did well enough tonight.

Or on these comments:
- Repeated the "bloodbath" lie,
- Claimed that couples are currently being denied IVF treatment due to "Trump Abortion Ban" laws,
- Said Trump would sign a national abortion ban,
- Claimed that Project 2025 is Donald Trump's plan,
- Repeated the "fine people on both sides" lie,
- Lied about the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity,
- Said Trump would "terminate" the Constitution if he's re-elected,
- Talked out of both sides of her mouth about the Afghanistan withdrawal and whose plan it was,
- Asserted that 140 police officers were hurt by violent rallygoers on January 6, 2021,
-
Only watched small parts of the debate.
Trump ignored facts and logic and just made shit up, but his sentences were easy to parse and evoke emotions.
Harris was grounded in facts and logic, but her sentences were long and required more thinking to parse -- more Lincoln-Douglasesque but alas, this is the era of sound bites.

Just scanning headlines and twitter. It’s hard to find anyone who thinks Trump won except people whose job it is to say Trump won.
Only non-witches get due process.

Yup. The RWEC is saying she "came prepared," "exceeded expectations."
Rumor is she wants another.
Let's do it on Fox News this time, LOL.

Reuters Reporter sat with 10 undecideds, all pretty much agreed Kamala won, but 6 of the 10 left leaning more towards Trump. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/some-undecided-voters-not-convinced-by-harris-after-debate-with-trump/ar-AA1qmVYz
The thing is he has less to lose in these debates. Everybody pretty much knows he’s a sleazy asshole. Kamala pretty much just attacked him while providing little or no policy substance beyond her child tax credit and vagaries about building more homes…

From what I saw, they both spouted lies and stuck to their talking points. I think Kamala "won" (whatever that means) as Trump was more annoying in that he kept repeating the same non-answer over and over about immigration, and Kamala was able to get in a few points that spoke directly to the viewer at home about prioritizing them (housing, costs, etc).
I wish Trump had made it more of a point to ask her "why haven't you done that over the last 3 years then?" or even with Roe v Wade, Trump did ask Kamala at which month is it ok to kill an unborn baby (she dodged the question), but Trump should've said "Roe vs Wade only protects abortion up to viability, so Kamala do you support abortion even after viability?"

Trump has ‘tells’ too. Like when he lies, his lips start moving. Look for it.

Yeah, the "partial birth abortion" segment was particularly bad.
That was in the few minutes I caught. The question was about his repeated flip flops and dissembling on his abortion beliefs. I actually learned that he flip flopped again on the 6 week bill the day after I posted here that he wasn’t voting for it.
So I can say I learned something watching the debate.

When he knows fuck all about something he typically says "Nobody knows more about XXX than I do".
Incidentally, by XXX I don't mean movies. He almost certainly does know a fair bit about those.

The point I was making was how Muir covered for Harris - saying that "no law exists allowing infanticide."
That's true, but more than clearly not in the spirit that former Gov. Northam and current Gov. Walz have.
Mr. Muir is not there to add "context" to what the debaters say. He's there to ask questions, not cover for them.
How many times did they challenge Harris's statements?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
