Elections 2023 and 2024 (Part 1)

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

Seems like a fairly elaborate typo there I guess :man_shrugging:

Yeah, I think autocorrect replaced “pathetic combativeness” with “composure”

Normalization in action. Anything short of a toddler temper tantrum meltdown was “maintaining composure.” That bar was so low he could jump it from within a blood emerald mine.

I also found his score pretty odd. He gave Kamala a 9/10 and wrote:

She was strongest on reproductive health, and when she wasn’t talking, Harris communicated nonverbally, with looks of amusement, bemusement, and even sympathy as Trump delivered lines that ranged from bombastic to ridiculous. She seemed to have a clear plan, and from what I could see, she executed it. (9/10)

I wonder why he thought Trump’s performance was a 6/10 when he thought that Harris clearly dominated the debate? Maybe it was a pity score?

I can believe that is a powerful motivator for a small(ish) subset of the population of Texas, but small(ish) subsets of a population don’t manage to overtake democratic elections without putting their thumbs on the scales.

They will get Keenan to dress as Kamala Harris and play Hallelujah on the piano, then play a jazzy bridge and play into Little Richard’s Hound Dog?

I imagine they can still get their hands on the stagewear Kate McKinnon wore, it’s only been a few uh ok (checks notes) November 2016 since it was on the air:
