Haha, he doesn’t want to look weak but turning up to another debate would wreck him even more. He totally knows he lost lol.

You Want My Debate Takeaway? Harris Pitched A No-Hitter And They're Eating The Dogs In Springfield

That was an encounter between an actual potential president of the United States and a rampaging, crazy, drunk uncle yelling about Doberman au poivre.

Also, if anyone drank every time he said "Meee-llions" and "Beee-llions" or when he said the word "tariffs" (without any understanding of how tariffs work) they're probably dead right now... go check your loved ones

‘Indict ABC for not having Trump win the debate’


It’s called your brain is mush and you did very little preparation talking to Gabbard:

To his point, no one could’ve expected that things like immigration, foreign policy, the economy and ongoing foreign wars would be topics of a presidential debate. But she did seem awfully prepared to talk about those topics.

 

[BatLobster]

Holy crap was this devastating. No notes. Wow.

MAGA math on those immigrant numbers. Made me go whoa.

 

[Iceman]

I’m so glad he came out with absolutely ridiculous stuff like migrants eating everyone’s pets.

[Iceman]

That’s way too complimentary to Trump. He’s much more malicious than a dumb, raving grandpa.

 

[The Shape]

Would have been nice if Kamala actually answered more questions directly, but there's no doubt that she crushed Trump.

Will this debate matter at all at this point? Who knows.

They asked actual real questions, no softballs.

 

[blueharvest]

This would work, too.

I loved seeing some comments that all Trump had to do to win was stay on policy - "all he had to do?" - that's something he's never even come close to being able to do lol.

Even when he was less demented he couldn't stay on track.

Normally I couldn’t care less about “tell all” books but I’d love to hear about Trump’s screaming tirades after fails like last night. The facepalming of his handlers must be epic.

Trump: Books. Books. All these people have is their books.

They may as well say "All he had to do was not be Donald Trump"

Debate moderator Linsey Davis endures racist abuse for fact-checking Trump

ABC News moderators fact-checked Trump live during the debate in Philadelphia

I keep hearing "Why didn't they fact check Harris?" Because she wasn't talking about abortions after a child is born, crime being up, and immigrants eating Fido.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Carl Sagan: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Or at least a basic fact-check. Minimum.

 

[Ironfan72]

I dont know why Trump will not debate Kamala again, his response this morning when asked about Kamala wanting another debate was "of course she does, i won" so if he thinks he won, why avoid a second one?

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

 

[AndrewGilkison]

He wants another child that will grow up and hate him?

I think he's intimidated by her. She's smart, articulate, and to the point. She's everything in a woman that scares him. A child of immigrants, a woman of color, well educated, and can easily stand up to his attempts at bullying.

He doesn't want to be put through that humiliation again so he figures it's best to say "I won" and not get rolled for a second time.
