Trump took her bait, got sidetracked and failed to address her policy failures and flip flops. Unfortunately, Harris was a pretty clear winner.

I think both candidates were true to form; I don't see this debate affecting much, except for perhaps making people more depressed than they already were.
It's ok to say she outperformed.
She didn't, dumb
Bro…. It's ok. He lost this one. Probably won't change a lot of minds, but he could've wiped the floor with her, but he was too dumb to do it. Same ol Trump.
Perino:
He got harder questions. She took advantage of all the opportunities. He took the bait.
Thats exactly right.

Dana Perino saying Kamala doesn't need a second debate after that performance. I'm sure the Fox executives love that.
I thought Harris won based on what she needed to accomplish, but this is a sign that the campaign didn't see it as a victory:

I don't believe that anyone who actually watched hadn't already made up their minds. This is a political junkie even.
As presented by ABC is was propaganda, and they did a reasonable good job of that.
More people will see tweets/memes/FB comments/etc than watched this.
Sure it's frustrating that Trump didn't do better, but given the set up, it likely wouldn't have made much difference, the moderators would have just changed their responses to make him look bad, or "fact checked" him mid sentence.
Still think he'll win, but I was hoping to "know" that after tonight.
If I'm mad at anyone its DeSantis. He had a huge early lead in the primaries and blew it.

Fox saying Harris campaign manager wanting a debate in October. Fox has offered both camps to host it.
I hope so...they are moronic if they do. They should go into hiding until Nov 1
The ABC moderators shaped their questions to ensure that. Anyone paying attention could clearly see they asked attacking questions towards Trump. You say Harris won. What policy statement did she present, other than abortion which will not be reversed, did he provide that over 50% of the country supports. Substance matters, no gaslighting.rca21978 said:

This is blustering. She doesn't want another debate. It's just her campaign trying to engage in more media nonsense.

No, I think it's a trap. We should all know by now that trump is not disciplined enough to have such a debate and stick to the issues without going on random tangents or losing the plot. They know how to bait him
This is actually kinda brilliant. They win either way. This is confirmation they think she won
I liked how the moderators were ready with the city manager statement on cats immediately.
I had a friend recently tell me that all the ducks in their neighborhood pond disappeared. There was a legal immigrant that didn't realize they were essentially pets and was eating them.
To say that doesn't happen in America means you live a sheltered life and don't know that this is something other cultures do.

Same critique I always have with Trump in debates: unprepared and unfocused. Obvious that CNN colluded with the Harris campaign on the questions and their follow up. Harris had a monologue for each question while Trump spoke of the cuff and meandered. Harris is stupid but not stupid enough to have a second debate after doing well in that one.

Trump slammed it home and owned her on the closing remarks.
By repeating the same 4 things over and over again? Is his plan to just trash the other person?
Why does he have to state policies again? We saw his policies from 2016-2020. I think it's great to hammer home why is she claiming to do all of these things when she's had 3.5 years to do it
I'm kinda surprised she didn't pull that one out of the bag as well.johnnyblaze36 said:The suckers and losers hoax, the one she was ready to bust out earlier but must have figured getting away with the Charloteseville and Dictator day one hoaxes were enough already.cevans_40 said:

It was the only thing left after she pulled every other false Dem narrative out.

There's police record of it

Topics that will definitely come up, either from the moderator or Kamala:
Project 2025 - Yep
Dictator Day 1 - Yep
Insurrection (Jan 6) - Yep
Convicted Felon - Yep
National abortion ban (Women's "rights") - Yep
Topics that will definitely NOT come up from the moderator or Kamala (Trump will need to bring them up):
Covid mandates - (talked about covid, but not the mandates)
Taxing unrealized gains - Nope
Third trimester abortion - Trump tried but they wouldn't make her answer
Migrant crime - Trump talked about it, no questions about it
Publicly supporting Ukraine entry to NATO - Nope
Lying about Biden's health - Nope
Flip flops on multiple policies (fracking, wall, etc.) - Harris gave a nom answer and wasn't held to the fire.
As the astute wrestling fan I know that you are, this is correct. I already fell for it though.
Trump's campaign better come up with some effective ads because he certainly didn't and can't get his message across clearly
If I'm the Trump campaign, I say sure. We did this one with your team, next one is on Fox, if you're up for it.Bunk Moreland said:Drahknor03 said:

Absolutely. Trump has to do it as many times as he can

I just turned it on. I'll watch the highlights tomorrow, but someone give me a 2 sentence summary?
Trump was fabulous.
Harris won, but it was ABC's fault.
Harris has never looked this prepared. Why? She got the questions in advance snd ABC did her favors by not pushing back on her lies and asking questions of Trump that would put him on the defensive. Happens every time with debates on the Dem biased networks.
Donald Trump took Kamala Harris' bate about crowd size and talked about migrants eating animals instead of addressing her policy failures and flip flops. Because ABC News hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis were biased toward Harris, her emotions and slogans alone propelled her to winning this debate.

They have 500K viewers nightly. NO ONE WATCHES.
All the bad things are true. So yes, an intelligent person would then actually vote for him.Ags2013 said:bigblock said:
Great closer for Trump!!!
Al he said was she was bad so people should vote for him

My take:
Trump was running away with this election. What happened tonight is that he failed to put the nail in her coffin. I don't think Kamala convinced ANYONE that she's a good candidate. But Trump could have put her to bed tonight and instead allowed her to linger like a bad cold.
Fair

All the questions were pretty obvious. She practiced and stayed on script. It's not that hard.
Trump didn't stay on script, rambled, and never challenged her to get her off script.
If you were having a conversation with someone like Harris you would think they were dumb.
Average non political people didnt understand what she was saying. Everything was meaningless.
Trump was clear and strong. They understand that. I know the TDS brainwashed hate him, but they were never winnable. Even GWB was a nazi to them.

A lot of the questions prompted Harris to answers.
For Harris, the whole thing was a well rehearsed lie. It's sad that it makes people think she won.
I don't think Trump did a good job of showing the contrast between what she has been and what she now claims she is. But he did have some good lines. Its just that everyone expects that.
If you go by expectations, I'd say she won and she was allowed to pretend she is something she isn't. If you go by substance or memorable lines, I'd say Trump won, especially about the border and Ukraine.
