    That’s what your lying liberal polls tell you. Obviously a heavy liberal bias in any poll that doesn’t have the Donald winning bigly.

    The real polls had Trump dominating that debate. At least 80% or 90%. Just ask him.

    Of course, MSM attempting to build up Kamala's performance like it was the best debate performance ever, because this is likely their last shot to give her a PR boost en masse. But the reality is most people had their minds made up already and didn't get any specifics from Kamalamadingdong to change their position. Factoring in she was down a solid 4 to 5 points in the polls (EC and the previous years anti-Trump bias in the polls), she might have edged a little closer, but she's probably still trailing.

    Interesting that trump doesn’t want Fox reporters Brett Baier or Martha MacCallum to moderate. He will only do it if the opinionaters Laura Ingram, Hannity, or Tucker moderates. Smells like desperation and fear.

    What’s Kamala afraid of? Real questions? Maybe it should be Ingram so she can ask Trump “how does Kamala’s open border policy make you feel, Mr. President?”

    Why don't you point to a few examples of the MSM calling it the best performance ever?

    How about having the GOP candidate make an effort to use the truth in his responses?

    "Mr. President"? I didn't realize that Joe Biden was a participant in the debate. Although Kamala Harris addressed the issue in one of her responses how about the following question "Mr. Trump why did you urge your supporters in Congress to block a vote on the most consequential border security legislation in decades, a bill endorsed by the same Border Patrol Union that endorsed your candidacy in 2016 and 2020?".

    You can all claim he was ambushed, but maybe you should question why he was leading with reckless things like the Haitians are eating your pets— lies which have the direct consequence of generating violence against these people for no reason. That’s the kind of lie that DEMANDS an instant fact-check.

    Kamala was challenged in her inconsistencies all night at the debate, she just handled the challenges better than Trump (who was more concerned with crowd size and self-adoration than issues).

    John Stewart railed against him on Tuesday night for this very issue. Like when Trump said he had nothing to do with January 6 (“I was just asked to give a little speech”). Stewart pulled up just a few of his serial tweets leading up to January 6 where he rallied his supporters from all across the country to come together as one—on the day the vote was to be certified—and show their outrage that they were being disenfranchised (a disgusting lie that we know from the documentary evidence was contrived at inception). Stewart highlighted that when ever Trump is caught, he blames everyone else and said he is part of victimhood. Every time.

    And honestly, you think Trump has any capacity to unite? IMO, the guy thrives on discord and division, us against them mentality. How can that guy unite?

    Most of what I read was how terribly unhinged Trump looked, not so much how Kamala was “great.” And that’s what my eyes and ears told me, as well. Trump is an unhinged old man who has lost his grip on any semblance of reality.

    She was hit with many “real questions” which challenged her inconsistencies and her record. The fact that you, of all people, don’t recall these questions speaks to level of your idol’s abject self-destruction.

    A critical review of the linked article may help overcome Trumpism. For example,
    From CNN’s Daniel Dale and Michael Williams

    Trump on who pays for tariffs
    Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday the United States took in billions of dollars from China as a result of his tariffs.

    Facts First: Trump’s claim about how tariffs work is false. A US tariff is paid by importing businesses in the United States – not other countries – when a foreign-made good arrives at the American border

    Do you believe Trump lied or he just doesn't understand how tariffs work?

    In answer to the question it's probably a combination of both. Trump is the most economically ignorant presidential candidate in my lifetime.

    What a ludicrous view of the debate.

    In the prior one with Biden, they saw a blustering, lying fool taking on an elderly man who allegedly disqualified himself by seeming out of it and confused.

    With Harris, they saw a babbling idiot easily baited by the focused prosecutor leading him to waste his time talking about crowd sizes and people eating dogs. Do you know outside of the political bubble how stupid he sounds talking about people eating pets? I've seen half a dozen social media posts of people laughing out loud at him for that foolishness while watching.

    We will see if his moronic babbling the other night hurts his numbers any. I tend to think that at the end of the day debate performances might be worth a point or so in the vote at most.
