I’m waiting for the crazy to come out. I’m betting it will come in the answer to the first question. It would be nice if she said, “I have no idea what he just said, but here is my policy on …”.

I'll be waiting for the crazy to come out too, but I'm not getting my hopes up too far since, as bad as he is, he could cover long enough to get through the debate. I was hoping for the crazy to come out in the last debate, but then the focus shifted to Biden and people seemed to ignore Trump's increasingly unhinged performance. This will be a different debate with different participants, so I'm hoping his true colors shine brightly or bigly or horrifically.

What I hate is the MSM is acting like this debate is the most important thing in the entire election. Am reminded of Bill Murray’s character in Scrooged with the line about his network’s Christmas special and the ads they were running to make people terrified of not watching it, just to get ratings and them watching it. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard over the last week that this is a “make or break” debate and “tune in for our analysis”. It’s NOT a make or break! We’re going to still vote for Harris and Walz, still campaign, still doorbell, write postcards, send money, etc. This is ALL inflated whoppee cushion by the media for the media.

Love the Scrooged analogy!

We need to see Trump’s mental state out of control tonight. Hopefully, the media will pick that up and run with it. This election is not about “policies”, it is about the anti-abortion ruling, the expose of the “Mein Drumpf” manifesto (aka Project2024) & if voters are convinced via the media to Trump’s mental & physical decline.

I am almost through with the NYT, they clearly want 4 more years with the addled Orange Monster. What a joke he is regarding child care, once he gets done putting 20% tariffs on all the Chinese crap sold at Walmart, the MAGA crowd won't be able to afford having anyone watch their children! Maybe they can depend on their menopausal grandmothers...right?

NYT is the worst sanewashing outlet of them all.

NYT sucks. All MSM, TV, cable and print are not doing their jobs. I am looking forward to watching the debate tonight, but if they ask her about whether she is Black or Indian decent I will literally throw a brick at my TV ( figure of speech, I will not break my tv). Today we will hear all the mouth pieces on tv dissect how Kamala has to dothis or that, and how trump doesn’t have to do anything ( ya know it’s all about what Kamala has to do, not what Trump has to do).

The more I see the Media sugar coat his racist, sexist, lies it takes me back to all I have learned about the 1930’s and how the media handled Hitler and his hate. Deja vu. We’ve been here before folks.

She can't spend all night fact checking him. But she must call him out because he's going to LIE! It's what he does. But she needs to put her record against his. I'm confident she'll handle, and stand on business, America's business👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Watching #45 and MAGA is like watching a car wreck over and over again. Sure, he and MTG and the others grab headlines for the worst possible reasons, but NONE of them should be in positions of power. Let's also remember what Michelangelo has said about VP nominee JDV: He could become president and he's a lot younger than drumpf.

I want to know who this 48-53% are that think Sweet Potato Hitler is mentally fit. Because they, clearly, are unfit!

Trump knows as much about child care as he does about health care which is ZERO. But never lose sight of the Republicans In Congress who also know nothing about child care and health care.

That's a trenchant response. I appreciate your insights

For those just now finding out abt his 🪱🧠, you’re late & may miss that bus💩🤡🤪🤬

Yet, after the debate, this is the comment I received from someone: "neither candidate has really answered their questions fully; but it seems like they both are adamant about defending themselves at what the other accused them of in their responses."

How anyone can compare Harris' remarks to trump's and find any common ground is beyond me.

It is about time, but they came very very late to the party.

There’s clearly only one choice for president and we are blessed to be able to vote for her. Kamala Harris has every personality trait and every bit of human experience that we need in an American president. It’s a travesty that about 40 percent of Americans are cult members and don’t realize it.

Now we have to make sure we do everything in our power to get her elected.
