    The #1 thing to note is that Trump didn’t win the last debate, Biden lost it. There’s a difference.

    Trump’s performance was inchoate, but Biden looked like a lost little boy and that’s something the leader of the free world can’t recover from.

    Harris is not going to have that problem.

      Yeah, I don’t see Harris ending an answer with “we finally beat Medicare.”

      I think I had an aneurysm that night.

        Me too, and that was just from my friend group sending despairing texts to each other because half of them were watching it. I couldn’t bring myself to watch it myself because I was afraid of how Biden would do, and my concerns were fully justified.

        So glad the DNC was able to pull out of that tailspin.

      Debates mean nothing in presidential elections. Several losers have won and winners have lost in the past.
