I do not recall ever seeing a Presidential debate like this, Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump: a cool, passionate, articulate champion of democratic values and rules vs. nicely, a lunatic and fascist admirer.
One among Trump’s lies which struck me most — lies are too weak a phrase for it — was Trump’s declare that immigrants are consuming canine. One of many moderators, David Muir, quietly identified that the Metropolis Supervisor of one of many allegedly locations mentioned that canine weren’t being eaten in his city. Among the many plethora of Trump’s lies, this one strikes me as one of the crucial indicative of Trump’s psychological maladjustment. It is much less critical, in fact, than Trump’s persevering with cost that governors in Democratic states permit killing of new child infants — denounced as a lie by each Harris and the opposite moderator, Linsey Davis. That is an egregious lie a couple of essential challenge. However the declare about immigrants and canine is in some way vivid proof that the previous President just isn’t in his proper thoughts.
As for his politics,what I discovered most important and disturbing was Trump’s citing the delight he takes in Viktor Orban’s reward of him. A fascist, neo-Nazi, who has systematically put down and tried to drag down the press and democratic constructions in his nation, Hungary. I could not assist considering that if Hitler was alive, and mentioned something good about Trump. the previous President would have cited him as an admiring ally too.
Kamala Harris aptly identified that an important factor in Trump’s ebook and psyche is flattery from others. Every part she mentioned within the debate was astute and heading in the right direction. Actually, I can not consider a single off-key factor she mentioned. Positive, that is as a result of I agree with every thing she mentioned, however I nonetheless assume her efficiency was objectively wonderful. That features her facial reactions to Trump’s lies and absurdities, which we have identified because the 1960 JFK/Nixon debates are at the least as vital as what the candidates truly say.
As for the moderators, higher than CNN’s within the Biden-Trump debate in June, however that is faint reward. They did quietly level out just a few of Trump’s lies, however possibly I am quaint considering that they need to have referred to as out each single considered one of them. Loudly and clearly.
Large excellent news arrived shortly after the controversy in Taylor Swift’s ringing endorsement of Harris for President. I am pulling for a landslide.
