Harris v. Trump Debate Thread | Trump DECLINES another debate (in ALL CAPS!)

Hell I was answering the questions myself as I watched the debate. Just by participating on this board I would have been reasonably prepared to speak on all the issues brought up last night.

Not that this board is the paragon of fair and balanced, but this illustrates the immense difference in the media environment Pubs, including Trump, live in compared to the rest of the world. Anyone paying a reasonable amount of attention knows what the major issues are in this election. Trump, though, lives in a world filled with cat-eating Haitians, a bombed-out Minneapolis, libs killing two month old babies for the fun of it, and innocent J6 protestors being persecuted for no reason. It’s what he talks about at his rallies. It’s what he hears from Fox News and Newsmax. It’s what he reads on Truth Social. It’s certainly what he talks about with Stephen Miller and Laura Loomer. It’s what he thinks is real, and nights like last night show the “normal” world just how far out there he really is. Good riddance. He deserves every ounce of the mockery he’s receiving today.

You don't think there are people who would be greater candidates than Harris on the Democratic side? Do you think she is the best Democrat for the job?

Even if there is a hypothetical better Democratic candidate, Harris is reasonably close to whoever that may be and light years closer to the optimal candidate for her party (or any party) than Trump is. He's the most unqualified candidate in the history of presidential elections, so spare the concern trolling about how Democrats don't have the best candidate they could possibly have.
 
The first day or two after Biden dropped out, I was a bit concerned about handing Harris the nomination without any sort of primary process. Now, I think the decision was a homerun.

After a shaky run in 2019 I didn’t know how she would run a campaign against Trump, but she’s absolutely crushed it, and done so with a message directed towards all Americans…not just the ones who will vote for her. You know, kind of like a POTUS should.

She’s exceeded every expectation and it’s as excited as I personally have been about anything political since 2008.

the people whom it would affect were always voting for Trump. It might compel a lazy person who would have stayed home to go out and vote for revenge or something, but not enough to move a statistical needle.

Disagree. If someone was hell bent on voting for Trump, the debate didn't change that. Ditto for Harris. But there are plenty of people (Republicans and Independents) who were looking for a reason NOT to vote for Trump. They got that last night. Perfect cover for saying "Well, I would have preferred to vote for Trump, but I don't think he is even remotely qualified to be President, based upon his nonsensical answers".

Yeah, it’s called debate prep, dipshit Don. You should try it. None of these questions was out of left field, they were all extremely obvious questions to anyone paying attention. She prepared, DonOld didnt, and it showed.

Trump, the Republican nominee, publicly dismisses the value of studying for the debate. The former president is choosing instead to fill his days with campaign-related events on the premise that he’ll know what he needs to do once he steps on the debate stage at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

“You can go in with all the strategy you want but you have to sort of feel it out as the debate’s taking place,” he said during a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

I don't like him and again, will not vote for him, but at this juncture, I would argue on paper, he's very qualified simply because he has actually already held the position. He has experience doing the job (albeit not very well)

I think there are folks in the Democratic Party I prefer over Harris.

But if we're grading Harris as a future POTUS, she's certainly an A. She'll likely be a better president than she is a candidate.

I don't think she's "the best", but you don't knock someone graduating magna cum laude for not being the valedictorian.

Your veil is starting to slip. Nobody claiming to be impartial can post what you just posted.

Poor past performance does not make him qualified to hold the position again. If anything, it exemplifies why he’s unqualified.

its a dumb argument.

his admin was perhaps the most corrupt and fraught in the history of the country and went down in absolute flames.

meanwhile, she's got 20+ years of spotless public service as a major metro area DA, AG of the largest state in the country, senator and now VP.
