Genie Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 These debates are much less about policy and strategy and more about who can rile the other person or getting a funny “zinger” away at the others expense. It would be brilliant if Harris can get under Trump’s skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not the point. In US elections its the swing state polls that count, the Dems can win the national share of the vote and still lose the election because of the electoral college. Individual swing state polls are far more important. Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania are the 7 states that matter.

sharkyvilla Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 16 hours ago, bannedfromHandV said: You’d like to think Harris and her team are going into the debate setting various traps for Trump to show himself for what he is. It feels like that scene out of A Few Good Men, he wants to say it, probably feels like he shouldn’t have to hide who he is, just need to set the right traps for him to mouth off. All she has to do is refer to his Truth social posts, it's all in black and white and he can't use the 'fake news' shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe she is ahead in 5 of those states and the other 2 Trump's lead is less than a point on average. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love reading both sides of the political spectrum social media after debates because it never resembles anything that actually happened for either side. Obviously Right Wing outlets have to embellish far more than the Left Wing given they are dealing with Trump’s vocal diarrhoea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted September 11 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11 Neither candidate really answering the questions so far, just spouting their rehearsed talking points on the subject presented. Harris not taking the opportunity to hammer him on the tariff, which is disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted September 11 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11 Doubling down on his claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Claiming his recent comment that he lost by a whisker was sarcastic. Claiming that there's tons of irrefutable proof (which has long since been refuted) that he won and that he only lost his 51 lawsuits because courts said he didn't have standing.

il_serpente Posted September 11 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11 Trump's having trouble resisting the urge to go off on his weird rants. He sees Victor Orban's supposed endorsement as a big plus. Now he's complaining about Harris staging a coup on Biden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
