If someone puts that kind of data out, link it here. But if this was a football game, this felt like, for time of possession, 2/3's Trump and 1/3 Harris. Does Harris prefer that? Probably. But yeah, no question he talked longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I clarified in my next post. Talk time not relevant. They let him respond way more regardless of talk time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inability to keep his mouth shut when he needs to. etc etc. It may be frustrating, but as a woman she probably has to do a much more delicate balance of how she comes off than, say, if it was Barack Obama. I think she did a good job balancing appearing tough but fair and not bitchy, which is a much higher standard than what I could get away with as a man. Unfortunately this still matters a lot for the normies in 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 My favorite was when he insisted that it was so important for him to respond to this or that topic and then he immediately shot off on a completely unrelated rant. There was a couple of times when he clearly just completely lost his train of thought and hid it by ranting about the border or some shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 To be clear guys, I’m not complaining about Harris’ lack of talk time. I’m just saying that Trump’s claim of being treated unfairly is at least 90% untrue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 @sblfilms Let’s be wet blankets together. I was frustrated too, and think she could have done much better; there were a lot of counterpunches and chances to address weak criticisms that she left on the table, and her answers could have been more on-point, more substantive and less campaign slogan-sounding. In fact, the most frustrating thing was that Trump left her so many opportunities to completely obliterate him on several issues, and she only ‘kinda-sorta’ did so. So I think your criticism is valid. …But…BUT! Side-by-side, she looked waaaaaay better than Trump, who came off as a cranky raving old man. And although they could have been better, her answers were nonetheless generally superior to and less fatuous-sounding than Trump’s. To me, though, the most important thing is that she mostly looked authentic, likeable, and presidential and didn’t make any major mistakes. That shouldn’t matter—I *hate* that it matters!—but unfortunately it’s the most important key to winning over the dumbass swing voters that this debate was aimed at. To sum it up: could have been better, could have been worse. I don’t think this will really change the race much—but it didn’t hurt Harris, which can be interpreted as a minor win. And a minor win in a race this tight can actually be of major significance. We’ll see. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have enormous energy to keep up with his non sequiturs, his on-the-spot lies, the online conspiracies that he drudges out, etc. Against a normal opponent Biden was fine but against a demented wild card, you need to be a razer sharp firebrand.

GeneticBlueprint Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Guys if you want substance you don’t watch a debate with Donald Trump. Kamala Harris has learned the lesson that every contender in both parties against him since 2016 did not learn: do your fair share of slinging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris and Dems are totally within the right to have it both ways on this topic. Just because it's probably good for Harris that Trump rants and raves doesn't mean that they shouldn't complain that they got uneven speaking time. Especially when the sight test in the moment just made it look so glaring. That said, the reason I bring up working the refs is because Kamala is so smart to call for another debate right. So much of the debate is about perception and being the one to immediately ask for round 2 shows who is confident they won. Just like how Trump was forced into this debate tonight he now gets to look weak and demure on a second debate, or he says he wants one and that puts Kamala right back in the driver seat of calling him a wimp when he inevitably tries to back out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of mindlessly walking around reporters, just demand a second debate. It makes it look like you won regardless of whether you actually won the debate or not. "It's a trick, a shadow on the wall" essentially. Keep making Trump feeling small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
