Elections 2023 and 2024 (Part 1)

Why can’t they have the debates at a reasonable hour for us old people that have been working 15 days straight?

Our daughter, on the other hand, walked over to the fancy Emagine Theater by her today to get a giant tub of popcorn for fight night.

There was a trump parade, yeah, I said parade, wtf, by us over the weekend and they passed out free signs so now there are a crap ton of signs all around us.

is this going to be the thread to watch for live-commenting the play-by-play of the debate?
will the debate have its own thread?

Yes, that is what passes for clever satire in MAGA land. It’s a wonder they were able to come up with anything more original than yet another “Got Milk?” parody.

Maybe some copy editor’s way of saying she just made herself president tonight. :wink:

That’s the interpretation I’m walking away with tonight. Thank you.

Who won the Harris-Trump debate? We asked swing-state voters.

On a scale of 1 to 10, Harris gets 8.5, and Trump gets 1.8!

An interesting point of view there:

Solomon Jones
Contributing Columnist
Donald Trump maintained his composure throughout most of the debate, even as Kamala Harris repeatedly attacked his ego by saying others saw him as a joke. He used a Harris line against her, telling her that he was speaking and asking her to be quiet. But he repeated the line that immigrants are taking African American jobs, and ventured into the ridiculous when he repeated the lie that Haitian immigrants are eating Americans’ dogs. I don’t think those were the kinds of lines that will appeal to undecided voters. (6/10)

This accounted for Trump’s higher than expected 1.8 score, contributing 6 of the 18 points! Otherwise the average is 1.3. What debate did he watch?

I’m willing to accept that one talking head had a typo.
