He's doing damage control.

And she did a far better job of answering questions than Trump EVER has.

And running late when you're dealing with all the things moving a large group of people, including Secret Service, fifteen minutes isn't bad at all. Hell, Trump shows up hours late to rallies.

The better than Trump standard isn't very high and I have gone out of my way to say she did a good job.

I believe her strategy was showing up late then filibuster answers the way people do when testifying before Congress.

Again she did a good job and did nothing to hurt her chances.
A deceptively edited clip was an accident? Harris called him out for it in real time and he attempted to defend and deny it. GTFO with that bullshit.

Faint praise at best.

You're the one that says the debate was a draw.

I listened to it on radio and I said that other than the eating dogs comment it was a draw.

What I didn't realize is how much the dog comments would effect the event.

Also, I didn’t see the Harris facial expressions. But, if I had I would have thought that would harmed her. When in fact it helped her.

Again, it wasn't a draw in any way.

But you doggedly continue to say it was. But then you think his rallies where he speaks about Hannibal Lector to be GREAT speeches.

Speaking of facial expressions, I loved the Hispanic guy who asked how his crops would be picked - and Trump's response that "he's the greatest thing ever for farmers" had the guy giving the expression of a dad who knows their kid is lying.

How would you know. You still claim he has never made a good speech all because I said his Rock Hill speech was surprisingly good.
Which it was.

I read it the transcript. It was delusional. It was full of lies.

Why it is almost like the public has rejected the far left political position of the democratic party.

Quite possibly as simple as “cost of living” and the border.

Oh? Then why have you only won the popular vote in one election this century?

This is what I'm talking about - you're here to push talking points, not to debate.

Here's the look that the Hispanic guy gave Trump - the look you give your kid when you know they're lying, and they're terrible at it.

The entire GOP is now built on nothing but Trump lies and talking points.

Glenn, consider this the look I give to most of your posts these days. You know you're lying, I know you're lying, we all know you're lying, but you just don't care anymore.

I think Lindsey Graham knows that Trump is losing. https://www.rawstory.com/lindsey-graham-trump-facist/

He’s freaking out and melting down. Not a man confident in a win.

i'm not so baffled. It's a world wide shift to the right. The conservative movement here needed a leader and for some strange reason Trump's bullshit shtick worked. Nobody on the liberal side believed it. Hell, most conservatives didn't believe it either. And yet, one by one, conservatives fell in line. It's why it's so difficult to love my conservative brothers and sisters. Just like in past centuries they have created the monster. (insert any dictator from those past centuries here.) It's part and parcel of the Republican party now. Own it.

Interesting article. i did note this....
In other words, we don’t just have a politics of red and blue at this point in the 21st century — we have a politics of coast vs. hinterland. And that is binding us to the states we live in more than has been true at any time in the recent past.
[bold] i would beg to differ. i don't see much of a difference between protecting fly over states and the battle to protect the slave South from the industrial North. In short, the EC is still protecting a racist minority.

The nominee for Vice President says we're in a "Post-Republic world" and we need a dictator instead, and no one on the right speaks against such an idea. The GOP never was much for "voting".

If you ever cracked a history book, you'd know.

There are a LOT of repeated history with the rise of Nazism. The Brown Shirts and the MAGA insurrection attempt on January 6th. Trump is openly using the Nazi playbook.

I am quite familiar with the history of the 30’s and 40’s. Enough to know that such a comparison is as you say “like comparing jaywalking to felony murder”. Anyone familiar with that history wouldn’t make such a comparison.

Nice attempt at deflection.

The Brownshirts were the same as Trump's MAGA. Overturning elections and promising never to have to vote again.

And you're fine with Trump doing that.

If you knew history you would know any comparison to Trump and nazi Germany is not only totally false but also ridiculous.
