There you go again David, complementing trump. Kidding, but a nod to recognizing trump didn't suck as bad as Joe did in the first debate. Actually, when you think about it objectively, he was pretty much the same scowling face, the same angry rhetoric and the same tired lies. The difference of course was this time when he stepped in his own shit pile, Harris made him face-plant in it.

Every time!

It was an amazing display by Harris, as the days of prep clearly showed. On the other hand, trump munching a cheeseburger and dreaming of club golf championships did little to get him ready. America, the rest of the world, (other than a few scattered dictators and authoritarians; how about that Orban guy endorsing trump?) have to be at the end of the rope with the angry old man.

Time to move on folks, trump and his ilk should be nowhere near the white house...not even to visit.

Transcripts don't do it justice: it's worth watching to really capture the full effect. So for those that didn't watch, you can do so here: https://www.youtube.com/live/T89NYFjEAiM?si=9XFTyXuwDcvJoOXE

Nailed all the points that stood out to me. I need to see THEY ARE EATING OUR DOGS turn into a fantastic meme.

Both good but the Simpsons one wins the internet. We'll have some other entries on Racket News social media.

No one is changing teams. But if the debate is about winning over some undecideds….I find it hard to imagine someone watching that and coming away thinking “wow DT is my guy!”

Well, of course David Thornton is going to make the case for Harris winning the debate because he has already endorsed her. My 2 cents? I watched every second of it, and I thought both candidates lost, and we, the voters, are the worse off for it. Trump lost the debate because he left too much on the table. He could have nailed Harris on a whole host of issues that the electorate cares about, from her stances on gun control to her Marxist health care and economic policies. Harris lost the debate because she has absolutely no idea where she wants to take us, unless, of course, one believes the real Kamala Harris is the one who debated her fellow democrats in 2020, and couldn't get to the left of the avowed socialist Bernie Sanders fast enough. I happen to believe that Harris. And because she has done a seeming 180 on a lot of those things just lately makes her very dangerous to America. She lied her backside off for the majority of the debate, and I happen to subscribe to the idea that if you can't or won't tell the truth, you don't get to claim the winning side in any debate.

I think even most Trump supporters are with me on this one.

Yeah, gonna say this is a ton of cope. One candidate actually has plans, the other has a "concept of a plan".

Code for no plan at all. We’ve been waiting for this plan for 8 years, including while he was President, as David rightly points out.

Neither candidate has plans, though we do have something to go on in Trump's case, as he has been President before...

And yes, we do in fact have four years of history to help inform us - along with his obvious diminished capabilities - that he is completely unfit to be president of the United States of America.

I can honestly say that I and my family were much better off under the 4 years of Trump than under the 4 years of Biden/Harris, and I can also say that Harris/Walz will be worse than even Biden, because they are Marxist/Communists. I only wish people would vote for me, because I know I could lead us to better days than any of them.
