"They took over Seattle David. They ate the dogs. All the dogs David. All of them. Some people say the cats too. That's what they are saying. The cats David."

My favorite quote of the night

Wait, what ? Who said that ? Really ?

This was a no win situation for Trump.

Harris isn't doing very well either. Not sure why people are saying Trump is sucking. They both have done horrible and this debate likely won't change most people.

United States is legitimately split to the point where you will vote for a party mostly due to your values and the other side likely has such problematic values that we really can't live together anymore.

I have heard people talk about splitting the country into a red and blue half. Doesn't sound like a bad idea.

These two are trash

Bingo! Lindsay must be her sister.

 

[tvolsfan]

She completely dodged the policy reversals.

He's had his chance to hammer her, but he's been on tilt. She's outperforming him because he's taking her bait and she isn't taking his.

Why not bring up the administration sending $40 million to the Taliban every week? There are a million talking points that destroy this administration and it just gets lost

 

[Tin Man]

They’re not muting Trump when he speaks well past his allotted time, and they’re turning up his microphone when he just starts talking. The two moderators may not be teeing up things for Trump, but the tech people are enabling Trump to be Trump.

I will still love Tennessee even if we’re not in the same country!

 

[Voljayton]

I just can't listen to Trump talk. I don't know how people can listen to him and take him seriously. It's like listening to a child argue.

 

[BlackCreekVol]

I just come here to find out all the sheep I need to ignore. What a joke of a debate.

The hyperbole from both of them is off the charts. Trump can’t stop going back to immigration and it’s starting to feel tiresome which isn’t good for him. It makes ever answer feel like he’s saying the same thing.

This is why the FEC is so obsessed with the thresholds. Stein or Oliver would look like the ONLY adult in the room.

 

[VOLinAL]

Problem with Trump is it’s the same with every debate where he is just beating himself. I think Harris is doing surprisingly better than I thought she would but no matter what she says her record of the last 3 1/2 years goes against it so it goes in one ear out the other.

Talking about the Haitian illegals your president let in

This is because we have a garbage excuse of a media organization. They should be calling out the Democrats, Republicans, and government for the real issues going on but they just want to bring up issues that are canned or to manipulate us. If .they get outed, it is a "conspiracy theory."

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Trump had remain in Mexico and Biden did away with it on day one and created this mess. Trump deported plenty of people b ut also prevented them from coming in the first place

There's two aspects of illegal immigration. Protecting the physical border (which Trump did well) and enforcing the rules to find and kick those out that sneak or have previously snuck through (which Obama did better).

Watch the border, enforce the existing rules, kick them out if found, and dont give them benefits. Unless 4/4 is checked, immigration will just be a political talking point and not something that will be fixed.

All the walls dont matter when they can easily cross at any of the legal checkpoints if there is a blind eye being turned to help out construction and ag base....

 

[volfanhill]

That's me making fun of Trump. After he said pets were being eaten by illegals

 

[Majors]

She's done a fantastic job of drawing a contrast between serious, thoughtful and Trump's silly clown leadership.

Repeating Biden’s continuous lies and sound bites. Shes nailing them and the facial expressions are Al Gore like.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

I just can't listen to Trump talk. I don't know how people can listen to him and take him seriously. It's like listening to a child argue.

And she's like nails on a chalk board.

His behavior following the 2020 election should have been disqualifying for rational human beings. The Republican primary electorate is not made up of rational human beings and nominated Trump anyway. The Republican electorate made January 6th fair game.

Trump doesn’t seem like a rino Republican or a rino democrat…the sooner you realize the better off you will be. The simple understanding that democrats are now the party of wars to try feed money into the military industrial complex year after year needs to stop. Tired of wasting tax payer money on wars that matter none to us from dumb countries we should not care about. For gods sake Dick Cheney endorsed your party…stop listening to mainstream media open a book and learn on your own

 

[Tin Man]

There’s a commercial break in the debate…

My big issue with the Democrats is using public funding to pay for services for illegal immigrants. That is the REAL ISSUE that isn't brought up. A lot of them don't just cross and have houses, Medicare, jobs, etc. They get on our welfare/Medicare systems and the government obliges.

If you cut that, they would go home for the most part.

She’s dodged everything

But keeps bringing up “the women and the children” and talking like she’s about to cry.
Our country has gone to over the last 4 years, but giver Kamala and her team credit for this debate.
Trump just can’t not take the bait.
Well played Kamala, well played.
