| THE MOST HISTORIC DEBATE IN AMERICAN HISTORY . IF Kamala looks weak its ALL OVER FOR HER . The DEMOCRATS , will have shot themselves in the FOOT ! IF TRUMP goes off , yes off the rail & it's going to boil over Madam President . |
Generally debates don’t make or break elections, but they definitely can’t have more impact than some people give them credit for.Despite the fact that the last debate was the most consequential debate ever, it shouldn’t make us think this one is going to be as close to as important.It won’t be consequential in the way the Biden-Trump debate was. My guess is Trump voters will genuinely believe Trump won the debate, and Harris voters will genuinely believe she won the debate. So it will be a wash.And fwiw, there is no such thing as “beating Trump” in a debate, not on style at least. Ted Cruz, for as horrendous as he and his politics are, is an Ivy League educated lawyer who relishes in debate, and even in a 1-1 debate with Trump in 2016, he got bulldozed just due to how much shit Trump throws at the wall. Both candidates are coming into what may be their last major opportunity to shake up this still-close race well outside of their comfort zones. The former president has struggled to recalibrate against his new rival. The vice president has rarely had an unscripted moment since picking up her party’s mantle from President Joe Biden. And it’s hard to watch Vice President Kamala Harris’ suddenly flailing campaign for president without thinking of the fictional Meyer and (spoiler alert) her losing quest to hold on to the Oval Office. Although the real-life race remains a toss-up, Harris needs to shake up her deeply small-c conservative campaign, which nowadays often feels designed more to defend a clear lead against a two-minute drill than to urgently appeal to a dyspeptic electorate that clearly wants change. If she asks Trump why he killed the border bill and he starts yawping about how bad it was she can say 'Your party voted for it until you told them not to' and he WILL say, 'Yeah, I did because that would have been good for Biden'. And she can just look at the camera and raise an eyebrow. KAMALA HARRIS is going to make a FOOL of her self in the upcoming debate between her and Trump . IF the Biden debate was BAD ENOUGH , you have not seen anything YET.I didn't realize how many times Harris said "I'm speaking" during the Pence debate. How obnoxious. The mics should be muted for the Trump debate so she doesn't have the opportunity to use this line. It's all she has. Trump has announced in a news conference this afternoon that he agreed to a debate with Kamala Harris on 9/10 via ABC News . This walks back earlier statements he made casting doubt on if he would desire to.I think it will be ugly. If she’s smart, she’ll find a balance between taking her shots without taking the bait f she sinks to his level, it’ll be a draw at best for her .If she gets him to rant and rave without3 losing her composure in the process, she’ll mop the floor with him. As many of you know, Harris polls worse than Biden. So if Biden steps down and she is installed as president and the Democratic flag-bearer, you're not really improving your chances.The typical response is "have a brokered convention and nominate someone else". Okay, but if Biden bows out and you pass her up for someone else, how do you avoid alienating a big proportion of two of the biggest Democratic voting blocs--African Americans and women? That doesn't seem to promise better chances either.And that's before you get to how weak and chaotic the party would look anyway. You are out of your mind. Thinking Trump is scared of a little Skamala. She’s the worst presidential candidate ever. No one even voted for her to be a president candidate. She’s gonna get destroyed by Trump and by the people. She’s a lying human. Trump doesn’t even want to debate with her because of how much of a waste of time it will be. KAMALA IS GOING TO GET BLOWN UP by TRUMP . Kamala , she has a lot of issues being associated with Joe Biden who is an absolute failure of a American President . To say Harris has problems speaking off the cuff is a major understatement. Whether it’s bad quips, awkward laughs or the many varieties of word salad she serves up, Harris is simply not good on her own. It is telling that she and her team have stonewalled every interview request save one — not to mention that her one post-nomination solo interview included her running mate taking some of the pressure off. Both candidates have significant flaws performing live, and it is likely those flaws will surface for both on Sept. 10. The June debate was a big risk, if a necessary one, as the possibility of a Biden meltdown loomed in the background. For Harris and Trump, we should not expect a similar disaster, but both still have it in them to lose the election in one night. The Biden campaign apparently told democrats on Capitol Hill today that the path to victory runs through PA, MI, and WI. That leaves literally zero room for error. Assuming Trump wins Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, Biden winning the blue wall states only puts them at 269 electoral votes, meaning that they’re going to need to win the 270th in either Nebraska’s 2nd district or Maine’s 2nd district. This is also assuming that nothing weird happens with a state line New Hampshire or Virginia. Maybe not, but who knows really? The issue with Biden is that he’s down in all of those states already, several others are within striking distance, and the electorate is pretty baked in on their perceptions of him. Harris has a higher upside but also a higher downside. Another candidate altogether would probably have a higher upside and a higher downside than Harris herself. It’s a bad situation all around but at some point it’s probably a better bet to take a risk than to keep doing the same thing. The election doesn't necessarily depend on this debate, but of course the debate does open up possibilities depending on how it goes. Admittedly, the election may have depended on the last Biden debate, but that was for unusual reasons.Harris' campaign management requested unmuted mics because they don't think Harris even needs to do much other than watch her opponent make mistakes. I think it's very unlikely the debate will do much other than reaffirm things most Americans already think about the candidates. It won't be like with Biden where the scrutiny on his age impacting his capacity was what it was really about, and he just made it way worse. In a weird way both candidates lost that debate in terms of outcomes.
