My prediction is Harris will do better than Trump and it will have zero long term impact on race.

I will have to sit through this as my partner and 14 year old want to watch. Why couldn’t there be a show of some interest somewhere tonight?

There's a new season of Emily and Paris and a bunch of seasons of Gilmore Girls.

Bruh. Nothing the fuck happens this season. The plot of this show has always been (1) ridiculous and (2) extremely secondary to the navel gazing of attractive people in fashionable clothes set amongst sumptuous background scenery, but like literally fuck all happens in season 4.

AND THOSE BANGS. CHRIST!

I made it through season 1 of Emily in Paris but a few episodes into season 2 I just couldn’t take it anymore.

Gilmore Girls isn’t that a show about teenagers? On brand.

I just hope that Harris can answer/rebut in easy to understand language TFGs lies/rantings etc.  i.e. explain what a tariff actually is and who pays it... of course his cult will believe his BS, but maybe some common sense undecideds will be swayed... oh who am I fooling the debate will just get added to his list of grievances

I think the best policy is to act like he isn't even there, don't respond to a single thing he says

I'd bring up IVF, FL abortion 6 week, weed, childcare, sharks and electricity

I'd mention that in the VP house there is a big collection of couches

I’m told Harris was a prosecutor. Tonight I would like to see her 100% prosecutor mode, appealing to a jury. Resonating with a jury. Show don’t tell.

I would say its more a show about a teenager and her Mom but there are, admittedly, other teenagers as secondary and tertiary characters, sure.

You know, I really think we did not give Lily Collins' atrocious bangs enough time to breathe as a topic of conversation. Can we revisit?

But seriously humor and lighthearted jabs and pokes is the way to go for Kamala Harris.

In my opinion.

interesting.  i'm of the opposite opinion: one of the many issues with el cheeto is that he is never rebuked.  he never gets push-back.  so having a woman of color tell him to his face that he's wrong and that he's lying?  potentially priceless.  on a few rare occasions when TFG was faced with some verbal opposition (ex: british journalists who DGAF), he melts down.  t'would be a sight to behold!

Dudeskis it’s all about coming out of it as a nice, normal person. LIKABLE!!!! Is this a person you want to have a relationship with for four years?

This idea she should prosecute the case like in a courtroom is pure insanity. She would come off as a rude bitch and the election would be lost.

Keep it lighthearted, poke the bear and hope he flips out. That’s the play.

Oh jez… there is a one hour pre-show

This is going to require reeforcments

The two women (Rachel Scott and Marsha?)
both have had famous public interactions with Trump and they are dropping clips

The John dude can’t stop name dropping: felon, convicted, and said he will not accept the results of the election

I get it, but it also seems very biased too
This is just the pre game, but fairly harsh on Trump with every comment

TFG walked right into every trap Harris set for him, spewed conspiracy theories, has a concept of a plan for health care, and zip zero nada on climate change.  Also, will never acknowledge how NATO and tariffs actually work. Him getting fact checked in real time, the chef’s kiss

Small sample, but it looks like at least a few sing state undecided voter moved in the Harris direction. At least that's what they say.

Put JD on the case to push stories of how last year he got many calls from Mason, Ohio and Sharonville, Ohio from men who’s wives no longer wanted a husband, only a gay best friend, after they went to the Taylor Swift concert in Cincinnati. They even made them wear a hat like Travis Kelce wore to the US Open.  Thats the future they want.

I think this is a very succinct observation of what happened last night


Jonathan Chait
@jonathanchait
Harris told the audience to watch a Trump rally. Then she got Trump to start acting like he was at one.

As per usual the cult chorus is claiming it was rigged, because TFG was fact checked, etc.  Clearly he thinks he's scoring points with these claims about abortion and people eating dogs. I relish the thought that the moderators sensed he was going to bring up the eating dogs story and had done actual journalism by reaching out to the city manager for comment.

oh and of course conspiracy theories, one claiming that Kamala's earrings were actually tiny speakers and she was being coached remotely..

This is crazy. We all know she was wearing a remote control buttplug and they were buzzing in which chess moves to use next from the AI engine. That’s why she pierced Trumps surprise Sicilian Defense so easily, even though he has publicly been playing a Ruy Lopez for months in hopes that is what she’d prep for. Wake up, sheeple.

@mathewjdowd
Anyone who is undecided after last night's debate either isn't being honest about who they are voting for or who isn't going to vote.  Going forward what will determine this election is not any remaining faux "undecided" voters, but turnout of supporters.  that is the ballgame
