Welp. Harris would have had a hard time answering that. TRUMP'S FAULT only goes so far so many times.

They gave her what worked best. https://t.co/lAxBk5L9DJ
By the way, I will make an appearance shortly on Salem News Channel. If you have the app, tune in!
The moderators may not have brought either up much, but Trump certainly kept going back to it.
Next to zero time spent on inflation. A half a percent more on immigration. The two most important issues to voters and that’s all voters got.

By design maybe?
Post debate, ABC News brings on Tim Walz to praise Harris. Sadly his feed breaks up.
100% right.
I really think the real campaign will take place in the swing states and the swing states only. We will have to watch the commercials on Twitter/X to gather what they are seeing there.
Honestly, I think both sides can claim victory here ... and neither side really got it. I doubt this will be an inflection point, or that the polls will shift much even temporarily. I'd give Trump an edge for that closing, but Harris did enough to remain credible as a candidate.

It all comes down to the analyses now. What does the narrative look like 5 days from now?
He is right: Trump took the bait.
Ben's snorting fire. Has been for an hour + already

watching a Daily Wire analysis to see what they say.

Very good tactical choice.
I am turning off the ABC panel, because this network corrupted the debate. Why should I trust their analysis?

I am turning it off. I can't listen to any more ABC crowing about how "lively" it was

Good ending.
And Trump walks off
What these people have done to our country, the worst country and the worst vice president in the history of our country
Why hasn't she done it? They've had 3.5 years to do it?
You haven't done it and you won't doit. Because you believe in things that the people in this country don't believe
Why didnn't she do it? We're a nation in serious decline. They don't understand what happened to us as a nation
FINALLY: "Why hasn't she done it?" This is the point Trump needed to hammer home. And it's a great way to conclude the debate.
"Prosecutor" - drink!
BTW, all prosecutors work for The People. That's not exactly a differentiator.
"New way forward," with Joe Biden's same old plan.
I really did not believe that ABC would do this but they decided to throw in with Harris, 100%. Just amazing.

The ABC News Live app worked very well tonight, and I look forward to deleting it from my system in about 10 minutes.
OY VEY

Kamala, the proponent of DEI and using skin color as a factor in hiring, admissions, promotion, contracting, absolutely everything, is denouncing Trump for using race to divide us rather than unite us. Incredible.

Still think Arthur Fleck could do well in this election ...
Joaquin Phoenix was terrific in the first Joker film, but I didn't think it really worked as an origin story.
