Great job getting this out so fast. I was disappointed in Trump. He was Trump being Trump, but whoever was prepping him ought to be fired. Harris got to Trump and counter-puncher that he is, he had to pick up every bone she tossed. And that made him miss opportunities on Taxes-trillions of new taxes, victims of migrant crime, climate craziness, Iran, reparations, never really pressed her on fracing, the Afghan pullout, voting...it was a waste of time. We heard none of that. On the plus side for Harris, the prep for the debate showed. She made points and followed a train of thought to a conclusion-something there were doubts she could do. Too bad she was never challenged by the liberal moderators on any of the lies she told. Trump should focus on policy and stay away from the ad hominem personal attacks. They don't serve his cause.

It has come out since by a whistle-blower at ABC that the Harris team and the moderators had an agreement to fact-check Trump, but not Harris, and that an almost identical set of questions were provided to Harris ahead of time, so no wonder she was prepared and rehearsed.

As for the cats and dogs, it has also come out since that the city manager had been fielding complaints about that problem prior to the debate.

I also saw a video made by a professional photographer who showed how the lighting was arranged to make Harris look better, and to make Trump look "darker"... shades of the Kennedy-Nixon debate, for anyone who remembers that outcome.

More objectivity, please... Even most GOP faithfuls agree that Trump lost this debate. Badly... The only counter they offer is that ABC moderators were biased by fact-checking only one contender. True, yet they only corrected the most outrageous lies eg. cats and dogs, states killing babies. The long list of baloneys was unchallenged: “his greatest economy ever”, “crime through the roof”, “85 billion of beautiful military equipment left behind in Afghanistan” “Israel will cease to exist in two years” etc.

On the other hand, they kept, against the rules, allowing him extra response-to-response time (total was 43 minutes for Trump, 38 for Harris).

Billions of military equipment were left behind in Afghanistan. "states killing babies" is accurate. Governor Northam is caught saying just that on a TV clip. It also happens in Canada, and is reported by Statistics Canada. https://arpacanada.ca/articles/mps-call-on-rcmp-to-investigate-491-documented-cases-of-children-born-alive-and-left-to-die/

The U.S. economy was at record levels during the Trump era.

Crime is through the roof in Democrat led cities.

I see no reason for Israel to cease to exist unless it loses its U.S. support after doing so much harm to Palestinians with about 130,000 casualties to date, hardly justified by the murder of 1,300 Israeli's.

I agree that Harris "won" the debate if getting accolades from mainstream leftist media is winning and a panoply of outright lies is debating.

"State sanctioned killing" and Gov. Northam alleged involvement has been clearly debunked. Well explained here https://www.perplexity.ai/search/did-governor-northam-make-comm-05ug28JIR.yyK1ME0H5bOg

Yes, tragically, infanticide still exists; as old as humanity. Nothing to do with the debate.

As to win ascribed to leftist media, here is WSJ: ““She clearly won the debate… “ as per https://www.wsj.com/opinion/donald-trump-kamala-harris-debate-2024-abc-news-98c714b3

I agree Harris won.

Your "Perplexity" clip is accurate but supports the contention that Northam would sanction letting live babies die post abortion when he says: "The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother". There is no possible conclusion other than than he would permit a live baby to die post birth if desired by the mother. It has everything to do with the debate since late term abortions are part and parcel of left wing ideology.

The WSJ is leftist.

That is because both parties are bought off by AIPAC, hence the greatest failure of the biggest democracy in the world, to be manipulated by a foreign entity. Israel final goal is a greater Israel, Of course they do not want peace; who else would bomb several countries the same time!? And the expansion of their territories through illegal settlements.
