        I think maybe they mean… Like, not washed out by the other 90 minutes of crazy shit he was saying.

          Oh no doubt. I only wish she hadn’t spent so much time explaining what a fucking idiot he was instead of taking about herself or her plans. He made all those talking points for her by, well, talking… It was a great beat down nonetheless, and I get it was her one time to really make a fool out of him in person, but again, he did that better than anyone ever could.

          Great show overall, would watch season 2.

            She walked him like a dog. Flatly stated he could be easily manipulated, and proceeded to do just that. He could not even muster the courage to make meaningful eye contact with her the entire debate. She just stared him down and dominated him. How brutally emasculating for him.

        I dunno, I just read an article about that country’s political debate from last night and it didn’t mention this point, it was mostly discussing how angry that bloke got at the other politician and how overall it seems like it was a bad night for him and a good night for her.

        The specifics were a bit overshadowed by the perceived importance of the event and it’s outcome itself, I think.

        I’m sure in the coming days some more details will flow out of the USA and we’ll hear some discussion of specifics where they concern us, like their politician’s stances on the war in Europe, I agree. I’ve just not seen it mentioned just yet is all.

        But it’s only 7am and I think the debate was in the middle of the night, so I shouldn’t expect much yet haha :-D

        But Kamala Harris should have poited that out and reminded everyone that Trump wouldn’t answer. Then it would be her jabbing him instead of some talking head no one knows letting it pass. Missed opportunity.

      It will not put off his voters. Some of them just don’t care about anything international. Others admire Putin as a strongman who isn’t afraid to kill his enemies and persecute minorities, a moral conservative, a self-professed Christian, an ally against democracy and a defender of the same bigotries they share.

        He doesn’t just need the MAGA faithful to win. I can’t believe I have to keep saying this.

          You’re right. The hope is that they’re not enough and he fails to attract anyone else.

            I don’t think he’s gaining voters and I do think he’s losing them.

      It won’t. Because people are hung up about the eating pets thing. Which, insane as it is might have happened.

      Idk why the actual issues are swept under the rug, and the controversial takes are the focus.
