The Harris campaign is asking about setting up the next debate. No response from the Trump camp so far.
Trump himself previously pushed for 3 debates. Let’s see what his handlers allow him to agree to after this disaster.
"Stand back and stand by." I'd forgotten that one. God, Trump is so unremittingly awful it's hard to actually keep track of all the horrible shit he says and does.
Boom! Calling out the fact that flattery and favors work on Trump!
I wish they just had 45min clocks, and whenever their microphone are hot, their timer goes down. It would be hilarious to see Trump yelling inaudibly for the last 25min of all debates.
Kamala is his worst nightmare.
A woman like Hilary. A brown person like Obama. And making a mockery of his entitled ass like Obama.
Just need to trigger some rage so she can scare him like Biden did.
"We are going to have the best economy, she is Joe Biden and we had the highest inflation we've ever seen" - Trump
"Let's compare your economic plan with mine, we're giving tax breaks to small business."
Also, going back to the previous point that Trump lied about several times, Harris nailing the rebuff of Trump's lies that usually just go unchecked on painting Harris as a person that wants to steal guns. Very good.
Also also, Trump's entire closing statement stated one positive thing he did (we rebuilt our military) and the rest of the time was saying why Harris was bad. Harris positioned herself well here.
Trump's getting the pants beat off him. Based on what happened in the most recent debate, I think his next move is to drop out and let Vance run instead.
She just actually debated him.
Amazing, given the format, that it's allowed.
You can tell he's so hurt by her saying 81 million people fired him and world leaders are laughing at him
Harris’s campaign needs to meme the shit out of these moments and sound bites. So much good material.
Trump is foaming at the mouth. He's a cornered rat. He's not winning any moderates over with this weak display.
Also, the moderators keep letting him talk and cutting off Harris. I say let him cook himself.
A lot is riding on this, given the unprecedented impact of the last debate i expect a lot of people will be watching.
PREACH IT SISTAH!!
This fucker sold out the Afghan government and got soldiers killed because he's incompetent.
Moments after the presidential debate ended tonight, the Harris campaign called for a second debate, CNN reports.
"Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people." Boom.
rabid squirrel in his broken brain wheel
"BRING UP A DICTATOR TO SAY HOW AWESOME YOU ARE!!!111!!"
Listening to Maddow list off just some of the most recent shit Trump said reminded me of one important thing: I can't wait for the very last time I hear his name in the news.
Captivating speech from Kamala. I really hope Kamala wins this election
Harris has managed to remain optimistic this whole time. I'm genuinely impressed.
I don't know how anyone can watch this and not feel Trump is exposed as being nonsensical and vindictive. I feel hopeful that Kamala is changing plenty of undecided minds, though I wish she'd been able to expand more on policy and less on Trump's lies.
He keeps talking about "he needs to get in here and sign a bill, he signs a bill the border will be closed". (After going completely non-sequitir about January 6th).
Holy shit. He dead ass thinks he's still debating Biden. Haaaaaaaaaaa
She is walking all over his balls in her high heels giggling her motherfucking ass off.
Does he enjoy it? Some people are saying it, many people in fact agree with me.
He doesn't even know. He doesn't even know that she is absolutely controlling this. He doesn't even know she's triggering every damn thing he says. This is almost sad.
I can't stop smiling.
"With solar, you need a whole desert. Have you ever seen a solar plant? But I'm a big fan of solar."
"They're eating the dogs! The people... They're eating the cats!"
There's our sound byte for the evening.
I ventured over to Twitter to see what Trumpers are mad about...
They're mad the moderators keep fact checking Trump but not fact checking Harris. 🤣
It’d be nice if they held trump accountable for lies and muted him interrupting and talking over
only reason this debate is happening because republicans fixed the electoral college in relatively low population states. Trump is a clown and republicans are embarrassing for letting him represent them
