Gentlemen,

I didn't get to see the debate myself. I've only heard about it from
the MSM. Word is Harris beat the shit out of Trump. But the
Globalist-
controlled Left-wing media would say that in any event, I'm quite
sure. There was never any doubt about how they were going to play
this. How does the Panel here feel the debate went? I'd welcome a
more objective viewpoint.

 
I saw most of it.  Finally saw the closing arguments this morning.
 
Trump definitely took the bait and responded to Harris,  He also got
flustered and failed to reply to obvious mistakes by Harris.
 
Hopefully whoever is president next realizes what is a realistic
approach will be to the problems created by the democrats for many
years.
 
Trump may have lost the debate, but his closing arguments against
Harris definitely gave him the advantage.  Hopefully both responses
will get some air time to the world.

 
His closing argument was to blame Harris - as vice-president - for all
the problems that hadn't got solved while Joe Biden was president (a
lot of which had survived from Trump's catastrophic presidency).
 
He might imagine that it gave him an advantage, but he lies to himself
quite as much as he lies to other people.
 
 

If you can't see what the democrats have done to you that is sad.
Blaming Trump for it is even worse.
 
Keep voting the same and hope for a different result.

This puts a different spin on it:

Seems Trump was set-up. No surprise there, then. No point in any further
"debates" if they're going to pull another stunt like that. All Trump
needs to do is stand on his record and stick to the line: "was the economy
stronger under me or under Biden/Harris?" Everyone knows the answer to
that even if they won't admit it. And it's about to get worse. The US
economy is tanking and a 50bp cut in rates is imminent to stave off the
inevitable recession. Gross economic mis-management thanks to diaper Joe
and his side-kick.
