Vance is dissecting Walz. A masterful performance. Tim has lost his folksy 'charm' and is flailing badly.

And here we are. COmment number 6 and we start the "b-b-but Trump!" mantra.

Perhaps. What is Harris' excuse?

Oops…

I like the term "defestrated". I think I will use it repeatedly, in a holistic way.

No more than I believe any other politician will do everything they say. They are all BS artists. Trump just happens to be better than most- I guess that comes from being a New York City native. I just look at past performance.

Wow. Very droll. I see you lean more towards the "clapter" kind of comedy rather than anything actually humorous.

It was always a bit frustrating to me. I found him to actually be quite a good interviewer when he put in the effort. He is obviously a smart guy and well read. But he would always fall back on that point- "hey, I'm just a comedian" when he was uncomfortable or when his guest was making good points.

I do? Who would that be... You are quite the mind reader. A talent that a lot of people on the left seem to think they have.

I like Jon, he is clever and often quite funny. But forgive me if I don't take my political direction from a comedian who often pretends to be a journalist.

Saw it. Trump lost, but not the way you think. He lost his cool and got caught by some clever work by Harris and the moderators. On the facts, he did well. Harris had no answer to any of the important questions. Instead, she goaded him into imploding. He shouldn't have taken the bait. But it is obvious that the more people hear Harris, the less they like her. It is hard to see how she can keep running away from the serious issues for another 5 weeks.

Trump at least has a track record as President. Barring Covid, he would have been re-elected without much trouble in 2020. The economy was rocking, there were no new wars to worry about, and it looked like the Middle East was calming down (Abraham Accords). Harris' track record?

Perhaps, but the democrats also chose a deeply unserious and lightweight candidate who makes it a very hard choice for a lot of people. Had they had a real primary (before Joe lost his marbles) there would have been a different and better choice made. Someone like Josh Shapiro would be wiping the floor with Trump by now. But Harris is almost uniquely pathetic.

Any organization that lets Iran chair a council on human rights needs to be eliminated. Waste of valuable real estate. And money.

Partially TBH. Biden was beatable more easily. Also it shows the rank hypocrisy of the left. They claim to be tbe party of fairness and openness, yet they brutally defenestrate their candidate and replace him in a classic coup, directed by powerful interests im tbeir party.

Maybe so. But he could have at least cancelled his beach vacation and gone back to Washington to coordinae directly with FEMA. . What lie did I tell? The only lie was Biden lying on the beach while America suffered.

Again with the racism..... when will you give it up?

Uh, I think Obama was president at that time...

I seem to remember a certain President Bush being pilloried by the media during a hurricane, for flying over but not being on the ground.... guess the rules have changed since then. At least they could have shown a bit of character and gone back to Washington to coordinate from there. Hobnobbing with Hollywood snobs and relaxing on a sunny beach while Americans die is not a good look.

At least he showed up. Biden was busy sunning himself on the beach in Delaware. Kamala was shmoozing with her rich Hollywood friends in California.

I agree. Understandable that Biden and Harris kept many of the tariffs, isnt it? But I think she never knew about that- it was a big surprise when a reporter brought it up to her. To be fair, Trump was never really right wing. He is more of a populist than anything. Lots of classic Democratic party ideas from the 60s and 70s thrown in.

Interesting timing. The latest poll numbers from the swing states show an impending disaster for Harris. Trump is leading overall in the 'big seven'. Just by a smidgen, but leading.

Ah yes, the xenophobia of the hysterical left coming out again. Good to see. The economy under Trump was great until Covid. I agree that the shutdown of the country was a mistake, as was putting too much money into Covid relief afterwards. Biden has continued to overspend even though Covid is over.

I think you are right. Vance is by far the sharpest of the 4 at the top of both tickets. Walz' image of 'trucker Tim' won't come across very well in a debate format. He also looks much older than his age, so it is hard for him to push the mantra of "new ideas" that Harris is trying to peddle.

Trump has already proven that he isnt dangerous as POTUS. He presided over a very very good economy, brought peace to the Middle East, and was able to reduce the number of illegals crossing the southern border. Harris has only proven her incompetence. She has failed at everything Biden gave her to do. She is even failing to maintain support of non-white voters.
