Nothing in the debate to make people vote Harris. Just vague statements and blame Trump.

We know Trump's policies from last time. We knew nothing of hers except the ones she stole from Trump. Post debate we still don't know her policies other than giving people's money to other people and wanting to kill the unborn.

Maybe try to ease your tight grip on your pearls or the necklace will probably break.

Exactly, people simply don't know what Harris stands for. And her peformance in the debate did not clear up HOW she would create an "Opportunity Economy". How she was going to bring down inflation. All she offered was platitudes.

 

And Trump called her out on it at the end when he said "She promised to do all these things, but she's been in office for almost 4 years, why has she not done them already?"

 

That was quite powerful.

Very true……..if only she were a proven liar, sex offender and felon…..something she could brag about.

No she did not, in fact Trump finished better, when she went on and on about "I will create an opportunity economy" ...I will do this and that, Trump simply countered "She's been in office for 3 and a half years, why did she not do it already?".

 

Ultimately there was no comeback for that. Kamala Harris promised to do this or that, but she's been in office almost 4 years, and did not do the things she promised.

You mean like "I'm gonna build the wall and have Mexico pay for it"?

Undecided voters choose Trump

Harris too vague

Your source:

 

“Harris and Trump are in a tight race and the election will likely be decided by just tens of thousands of votes in a handful of battleground states, many of whom are swing voters like the undecided voters who spoke to Reuters.

Although the sample size was small, the responses suggested Harris might need to provide more detailed policy proposals to win over voters who have yet to make up their minds”.

 

It all comes down to the people in the swing states

I hope we get a 2nd debate. I think Vance will hammer home the price of groceries etc.

That's not satisfactory reply. The Vice Presidential office has considerable power, as we saw with Cheney. When Kamala promises to do this and to do that, it is devastating for Trump to say "She promises to do all this, but she's been in office for almost 4 years, why did she do not it already"?

 

When it came to the arguments, Trump really won them all.

 

However, Kamala did the better acting, laughing and smirking, and had a few good soundbites ("He was fired by 80 million people). The suggestion for people to go to the Trump rally was a highpoint for her.

 

But where it mattered, on the economy, all she offered was empty air and nothing of substance and even the mainstream media concede that.

 

Overall Trump had the better moments, when he shut her up "I'm talking, sound familiar",  "I was going to send her Maga hat because now she has all my policies" and at the very end when he countered Kamala's promises with "She's been in office for 4 years why hasn't she done it?".

 

Alas, his pet eating gaffe was a pity, so unnecessary given the real crimes  immigrants have committed,  that was a pretty stupid mistake, and he talked too much about his own record. He should have talked about hers.

 

You could, at a stretch call it a draw. Which is already surprising, I never thought Harris would fumble like Biden, but I did think Trump would win easily.  Instead it was a draw, so Harris did well. But to say she won the debate is completely unbelievable.

 

The moderators craven unfair one-sided "fact checking" which only focused on Trump and let Harris off for her many lies, has clearly driven home to many Americans that the media is not objective, and quite clearly Harris was helped by the moderators in this debate to a great degree.

So when he said that after 9 years of promising to replace Obamacare he was now at the stage of having a concept of an idea, would you say that was one of his strongest moments of the debate?

He had a few weak moments. Much worse was how he tried to blame Kamala and Joe for the inflation, when Americans know it's not their fault. But then Kamala did the same with Covid, blaming Trump for Covid, which was equally ridiculous.

 

Basically both lied a lot. Trump won most of the arguments and finished strong. But he talked excessively about his record and came up with the stupid pet eating comment, if it hadn't been for that there would have been a strong case for him having won.

3 vs 1 yet still a draw. Trump won the start, Harris near the end. Just a draw is poor.

I can't find anything in the transcript re: blaming Trump for Covid......do you have it? This is all I could find.....

 

But what Donald Trump did let's talk about this with COVID, is he actually thanked President XI for what he did during COVID. Look at his tweet. "Thank you, President XI," exclamation point. When we know that XI was responsible for lacking and not giving us transparency about the origins of COVID.

I thought Trump should have talked inflation more. Biden policies were 42% responsible according to MIT report. It was not all covid. Unemployment is 4.2%, was 3.5% in 2019. Trump should have repeated this more.

He should have focused more on the economy, but again these moderators directed the debate really. Made them talk about environmental concerns.

 

However, with inflation there were so many other causes, especially Covid, I just don't think most Americans blame Biden and Harris for inflation. I mean all other countries in Europe also had inflation.

Problem with that is he had 4 years in the WH as the actual president (and not VP) and when he was voted out he left a long list of broken promises so that question just makes him look like a hypocrite, and hypocrites never come across as strong. In fact, just the opposite.
