9/10 ABC Presidential Debate Game thread

[Texas Jeff 1938]

These were the two fact checks I heard, both of which were insane to have to fact check them:

LINSEY DAVIS: There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born.

DAVID MUIR: I just want to clarify here, you bring up Springfield, Ohio. And ABC News did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.

Trump's response to the second one is hilarious:

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: The people on television say my dog was taken and used for food.

I will be so happy that a byproduct of Kamala possibly winning the election is CNN and the NY Times go straight into the toilet. 

Why would you say that about CNN?  I mean tonight they did their undecided voter segment and one of those undecideds said she is now voting for Trump after the debate.  They did mention she voted for Trump in 2020 and 2016 and was leaning Trump this election.  How in the fuck is that considered an undecided voter?

 

Also, I think after watching both MSNBC and CNN’s “undecided voter segments”, these voters should lose the right to vote.  They are all absolute morons no matter who they say they are voting for now.  The pure dumbness of them saddens me for this country.  The only positive is my son who just started at UT has a great shot of doing well in this world if those are the people he has to go against.

I'm not sure how many truly undecided voters there are. It's got to be the biggest reason the polls are so tight.  I mean, this shouldn't even be close, but it is.  I don't know that Trump can do anything to lose his base voters.  1 Percent would be disappointing, but not really surprising.  The dems have to turn out their base to win.  The young people have to show up en masse.  Conservative  women have to vote for their own self interests and the interests of their daughters and grand daughters etc...  We still need quite a few things to go right. 

The undecided crowd is a lie in the polling world, and it keeps them (the pollsters) cooking.   Most all these folks aren't undecided, but unaffiliated who already know who they are voting for.  If you ever take one these poll questionnaires you wind up down several different worm hole, one is base republican, one is base democrat, the indy voters worm hole is designed by the pollster groups to secure as many "undecided" as possible.  However, they never ask you directly who'd you vote for in this set of questions, and it's deliberate.

Yes. Said that we’re letting the immigrants in then providing transgender operations for immigrants in prison.  Later he came back to it and said that taxpayers are paying for it.

This debate not only cast Kamala in great comparison to Donald Trump, it also showed that she's a vastly different candidate in terms of energy and mental ability than Joe Biden. I have to think so many undecideds who supposedly wanted something "different" will see that, she's the most different of any of the 3 major candidates we've seen this election.

Joe Biden is probably saying how glad he is for getting out of the race….he could never have pulled this off…..

He is a fool, but beyond that, he's going to be polling so poorly he'll practically beg for one more crack at it.  Also, remember on September 26th the redacted portion of the Jan 6th indictment drops, so in this month alone, shit stands to get worse for him.  

IF he wants another debate, he'll require that it be on Fox News with his choice of moderators and rules. If I'm Kamala, I think I'd still agree.

I hope Joe has one hell of a retirement and enjoys the shit out it.  I, personally will always be grateful to the guy, he beat Trump, and now via his actions, we are going to do it again.

So, let's just pretend for a moment that the 'immigrants eating pets' thing is true. I know, I know. It's lunacy, but bear with me. How do the people reporting these incidents know the people who stole their dogs or cats were immigrants, or illegal, etc? Did they have 'illegal immigrant' signs on their backs? How do they know?

Of course, it's all made up nonsense, but I can't believe nobody is asking that question.

Well, the maga-base folks don’t know how to verify if news is true or not….so, they just listen to Fox or other right-wing outlets and accept all as gospel.

Trump won the debate 70/30 he was the only candidate who spoke to the issues. The poll and comment I saw in 5 mins of watching. I turned it off. 

I couldn’t stand to hear Trump yell hate and scowl at the camera. Barely watched any of it.

When you really think about it, one of the craziest aspects of our democracy is that we let these people who are not merely uneducated but also willingly consuming misinformation from Russia and elsewhere to have a say in things that affect the lives of those of us who have a fucking clue about how the world works and our place in it.

I'm 59 years old, and I've watched every presidential debate in my voting-age life. I can honestly say that what I saw tonight was easily the most dominant performance by one candidate over the other that I've ever seen. It's not even close. Harris completely destroyed Trump, without really trying that hard. She just let him talk, and out came all the craziness one could imagine, and more. I agree that that won't swing Trump's base, but nothing ever will swing these people. They are not dealing in reality. It will have an effect with moderate Republicans and undecided voters though. How much of an effect? Who knows. Also having an effect will be people like Dick and Liz Cheney endorsing Harris, Bush declining to endorse Trump, Judge Luttig and multiple generals accurately calling Trump a threat to our Democracy, the 200+ Republican former White House staffers endorsing Harris, etc, etc. It all adds up, and imho Trump/Vance will have a difficult time beating Harris/Walz.

And yeah re: those stupid bastards being allowed to vote, I wish we could somehow let all the nutjob extremists go at each other until they're all gone, and let the grownups in the middle (which I believe is the majority) run this shit.

Trump will debate again if Harris will.  Narcissists hate one thing more than being laughed at and that is not being the center of attention.  Trump craves the spotlight. Negative?  Positive? Doesn't matter as long as the spotlight is on him.

you should watch, he got completely dominated and was ineffective. It was the normal Trump debate where he takes over and monopolizes the attention and direction. It was the exact opposite, Kamala debated circles around him and, contrary to all the lame-ass "4D chess" memes over the years, honestly masterfully manipulated him throughout the debate, in obvious ways to everyone but Trump. She got him to talk about all sorts of shit he didn't want to talk about, on command. Trump looked hapless and I honestly think you'll find it therapeutic. Kamala ruled the debate.

 

And yes, he said that, and also that Haitians eat cats and dogs, and that he was right about the central park 5 because they cracked under police interrogation and the prosecutor still thinks they did it. But he said all this after being baited by Kamala into revealing these batshit crazy opinions. He said all this while Kamala was beaming that he took the bait, over and over again. She told the people, "go, actually watch the debate, and listen to the stuff he says." He also told him that she has info as VP, and leaders around the world are laughing at how dumb Trump is, and Generals who served under Trump call him a disgrace. It was actually kinda awesome. It was totally Texas vs Michigan.
