This was fair.
Some gripes. Abortion was probably one of Harris's best answers that night. Wasn't close. Trump was all to happy to not talk about it anymore. It's a lose lose. He loses more women or he loses his evangelical base.

IjeBos:
Yeah, unfortunately that'll be the case.
But, the disparity in how Kamala performed vs. how Trump performed may have helped in that area.
You can't say she is a woman who is weak when she looked much more Presidential than Trump.

1stGenAmerican:
His words have all turned out to be lies, this one is no different. Lies, lies, lies.
What wasn’t a lie? When Kamala mentioned Trump filing for bankruptcy six times. He didn’t dare to correct her on that because he can’t deny the truth.

1stGenAmerican:
I liked the way she immediately broke out of the gate and began outlining her policy. What was silly was that each time she gave specifics on her policy, Orange man would say, “she doesn’t have any policies.” 🤣😂

Notes and debate preparation.

The campaigns have taken different approaches to debate preparation. Harris traveled to Pittsburgh on Sept. 5 and spent the time there focusing on strategy, a senior campaign official said. While Harris had planned to pepper Trump with questions, her campaign has had to seek out a new approach, fearing that her ability to most effectively engage with the former president will be hampered by the microphone restrictions.

The vice president is practicing with extended mock debates, with a focus on policy and an effort to draw a contrast with the former president. A former aide to Hillary Clinton, who played Trump in the mock 2016 debate prep with Clinton, is playing Trump again in these sessions, with a source saying the aide is even dressing like Trump. Harris has also been practicing on a stage with lights to recreate the debate environment, a source familiar with the preparations told CBS News.

While Harris participated in several Democratic debates ahead of the 2020 primaries, this is her first presidential debate, while it is Trump's seventh debate. Trump told "Good Morning New Hampshire" last week that he's "been preparing all my life for this debate."

"So, you know, I do. I have meetings on it," Trump added. "We talk about it, but there's not a lot you can do."

Trump has been reviewing policy positions with advisers in the lead-up to the debate, sources familiar with the former president's preparation told CBS News, though his preparations are characterized as somewhat informal and include speaking with voters and engaging with the media.

Debate microphones

There was a tussle last month between the Harris and Trump camps about whether to mute the candidates' microphones when it wasn't their turn to speak. In the first debate, Trump and President Biden's mics were muted, which was requested by the Biden campaign.

The Harris campaign requested a change to allow open mics, saying in a letter to ABC News that Harris is "fundamentally disadvantaged by this format, which will serve to shield Donald Trump from direct exchanges with the Vice President."

Although the Harris campaign said the Trump campaign insisted on muted mics, Trump said on Aug. 26 that it "doesn't matter to me."

"I'd rather have it probably on, but the agreement was that it would be the same as it was last time," Trump said. "In that case, it was muted. I didn't like it the last time but it worked out fine."

The Harris campaign agreed in the end to have the muted microphones.

The Harris campaign also told CBS News that it was offered assurances that the microphones may be unmuted if there is significant crosstalk between the candidates. A candidate who constantly interrupts their opponent will be warned by the moderator and their comments may be relayed to the audience. And, if the microphones don't pick up the exchanges, a group of reporters who will be in the room would be able to report anything noteworthy.

Trump that cannot complete a sentence

Lol, delulu. 🤡🤡

AmazonTopaz:
Looking forward to tonight's debate.

Aside from Kamala cooking Trump for dinner.
She should use the opportunity to reach out to voters and expand the Biden coalition.
Good luck.

I am seated and waiting.

Ijebosc:
SpaceX doesn't know what a poll is.
It's not a poll. Nate Silver basically saying his model shows Trump has a 61% chance of winning over Harris's 39% chance of winning.
You have to trust his modelling. Which hasn't been always accurate.

Podium placement and candidate stage positions

After the coin toss, Harris was allowed to chose podium placement. She selected the podium position to the right on screen, ABC News said.

The rules also state that candidates will stand behind their lecterns for the "duration" of the debate.

Debate day is here!

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will face off in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Republican and Democratic nominees are set to lay out their vision for the country – and knock their opponent on issues ranging from inflation and the economy to abortion rights and the southern border.

The rules have been released for the first — and possibly only — debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Tuesday's debate at Philadelphia's National Constitution Center is a showdown that could define the rest of the presidential campaign.

The debate, which begins at 9 p.m. Eastern Time (2 a.m. in Lagos on Wednesday), is being hosted by ABC News. There will be no live audience and no opening statements, according to rules the network released last week.

The candidates will have two minutes to answer questions, two minutes for rebuttals and an additional minute for follow-ups and clarifications. The two candidates will also have up to two minutes to deliver closing statements at the end.

Harris and Trump won't be able to ask questions of each other. Only the moderators — ABC's David Muir and Linsey Davis — are permitted to ask questions.

The debate will last 90 minutes and will include two commercial breaks.

Candidates aren't allowed to take pre-written notes or props on stage, and they won't receive topics or questions in advance.

ABC is allowing other television networks to simulcast the debate. CBS News will air the full debate on the CBS television stations and the streaming network CBS News 24/7, followed by post-debate analysis.

The debate will be the first time Harris and Trump are meeting face to face.

Kamala's real agenda

This is her policy:

1. Setting Murderers Free – Kamala Harris actively supports bailing violent criminals out of jail and allowing violent illegal aliens to roam our streets. Case in point: Kamala Harris called on her supporters to “chip in” to the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

2. More “Bidenomics” With A Communist Twist – Harris was the deciding vote on the inflation-fueling $1.9 trillion “stimulus.” Harris owns this inflation, and everyone knows it. Even liberal economists admit Harris's massive spending spree sent inflation soaring. Now, she want’s Soviet-style price controls that will lead to shortages and breads lines.

3. More Taxes On The Middle Class – Kamala Harris wants to eliminate the Trump Tax Cuts, which would mean a massive tax hike on middle-income families. Harris was the deciding vote for the “Inflation Reduction Act,” which decreased the “average after-tax income for taxpayers” at every income level.

4. Abolishing The Border – Kamala “Border Czar” Harris is responsible for the worst border crisis in U.S. history. Now, she wants to abolish ICE, decriminalize illegal border crossings, give benefits to illegal aliens, and let them vote!

5. Bringing Back The Green New Deal – As senator, Kamala Harris co-sponsored the radical $93 trillion Green New Deal with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which estimates show could kill up to 2 million jobs and cost an average family $165,000.

6. “Freedom” For Violent Criminals – Kamala will continue her record from her time as a prosecutor, where San Francisco police officers said she was slow to prosecute numerous murder suspects and said she regularly offered favorable plea deals to resolve cases out of trial.

7. Defunding Police And Fewer Cops On The Street – Kamala Harris was proud to join the “Defund The Police” movement in 2020. She boldly said the protests “should not” let up and applauded then-L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti for defunding the LA Police.

8. A Socialist Takeover Of Healthcare – Harris supports abolishing private insurance. She even cosponsored Bernie Sanders’ $32 trillion socialist healthcare takeover bill.

9. Giving Social Security And Medicare To Illegal Aliens – Kamala believes illegal aliens should receive taxpayer-funded benefits, and while she’s at it, she wants to expand the government takeover even if it puts over 50% of rural hospitals out of business.

Kamala Harris is weak, failed, and dangerously liberal. She does not deserve a promotion. On November 5th, the American people will tell her, “you’re fired!”

BLACK WOMEN FOR TRUMP

Black women have all agreed and plan to vote for president Trump as they dissociate themselves from Vice President Kamala Harris. Black women, including several from battleground states, express their opposition to Harris, with some framing the Democratic presidential nominee as being out of touch with Black voters.

Kamala’s Real Agenda

Kamala Harris finally has what is very generously being described as a “policy page” on her website. There’s hardly a true thing on it.

The dishonesty starts from the top, when she insists her plan is “A New Way Forward.” In reality, Kamala has been in the White House for almost 4 years. We know the results of her policies: chaos, devastation, and destruction. We know the results of her true agenda already – poorer families, the worst border crisis in U.S. history, and the world on the brink of World War III.

That’s just the start. Her website claims she’ll:

1. “Build an Opportunity Economy and Lower Costs for Families” ­– As vice president, she has done just the opposite. She was the tie-breaking vote for the spending that even liberal economists say sent inflation surging. As a result, costs are up over 20% and real wages are down almost 4% since she took office. Under President Trump, real wages increased 8.2%. That’s not all. Housing affordability is at it’s worst levels in American history, and the average middle-class family has lost over $30,000 in real wealth under Kamala.

2. "Safeguard Our Fundamental Freedoms” – Kamala Harris has supported censoring speech, violating the Second Amendment, and targeting religious Americans. Meanwhile, her administration is weaponizing the justice system against President Trump and Americans around the country who don’t share her political ideology while undermining democracy by opposing commonsense election integrity measures.

3. "Ensure Safety and Justice For All” – Kamala created the worst border crisis in U.S. history and supports the defund the police movement. Violent crime rates have reach record highs in cities across the country under the Harris-Biden administration, while the migrant crime epidemic has claimed the lives of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray, and many others. That’s part of why the Fraternal Order of Police just endorsed President Trump.

4. “Keep America Safe, Secure, and Prosperous” – Because of her failed foreign policy, the world is on the brink of World War III. Because of her failed Afghanistan withdrawal, the terror threat against the U.S. homeland is growing. Because of her war on American energy, energy costs have skyrocketed while our adversaries overseas reap a windfall from exporting oil. She has made America less safe, less secure, and less prosperous.

Not only does Kamala Harris’s “policy page” fly in the face of the chaos her policies have created as vice president, it flies in the face of her real agenda that she has supported for years.

Kamala Failed Record vs. President Trump’s Vision

Here is how President Trump’s plan compares to Kamala’s failed record:

1. American Energy: “First, I will end Kamala Harris’s anti-energy crusade, and implement a policy of Energy Abundance, Energy Independence, and Energy Dominance. My plan will cut energy prices in half or more within 12 months of taking office. It will be an economic revival of our country like never seen before.”

Kamala’s Failed Record: Kamala Harris has long hindered American energy production. On day one in office, the Harris-Biden administration shut down the Keystone XL pipeline and forced energy production to a grinding halt. Kamala wants to “finally [put] an end to fracking once and for all” because, in her words, “there’s no question [she’s] in favor of banning fracking.”

2. Ending the Green New Deal:“My plan will terminate the Green New Deal, which I call the Green New Scam, and rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’…I will end the electric vehicle mandate, stop the appalling waste, and save taxpayers an estimated $1 trillion dollars.

Kamala’s Failed Record: Kamala co-sponsored the radical $93 trillion Green New Scam that would cost the average American household hundreds of thousands. The Harris-Biden administration spent $7.5 billion dollars to build just 8 charging stations for electric vehicles, and Kamala refuses to walk away from her support for banning the manufacture of gas-powered vehicles.

3. Cutting Regulations: “I will launch a historic campaign to liberate our economy from crippling regulation…I am pledging today that in my second term, we will eliminate a minimum of ten old regulations for every one new regulation.”

Kamala’s Failed Record: Over the past four years, Kamala has added as much as $6,300/year in new regulatory costs onto the backs of every American family.

4. Prioritizing Efficiency: “I will create a Government Efficiency Commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government — and making recommendations for drastic reforms."

Kamala’s Failed Record: Kamala Harris has overseen hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars going to waste while in office.

5. Lowering Taxes: “My plan is to make the Trump Tax Cuts permanent…and to cut taxes even more, and we will have no tax on tips…and no tax on Social Security Benefits.”

Kamala’s Failed Record: Kamala Harris promised to repeal President Trump’s tax cuts that have saved American families thousands and she has proposed at least $5 trillion in new tax hikes.

And that’s just the start. President Trump will embrace the industries of the future, including making America the world-capital for Bitcoin and crypto; he will make America the manufacturing superpower of the world once again; he will make housing affordable again; and he will create America's own Sovereign Wealth fund to invest in great national endeavors for the benefit of all Americans.

On one hand, you have Kamala Harris, who has a failed record of destroying everything she touches. And on the other hand, you have President Trump, who has proven he can give America a robust thriving economy and has a clear plan on how to do it again. The choice is clear.

NEWSFLASH!

Despite The Coordinated Democrat Attacks And Hoaxes, President Trump Is Stronger Than Ever.

Despite every play the Democrats and their Fake News allies have run to silence him — Russiagate, multiple impeachment hoaxes, indictments, rigged trials, and sham hearings — President Donald J. Trump is in a stronger position than ever before to win this election.

On this date in 2016, Hillary Clinton had a 67.8% chance to win; in 2020, Joe Biden had a 71% chance to win.

Today, according to Nate Silver, President Trump has a 61.5% chance to win.

President Trump has always been underestimated, and that's precisely why he is in the best position he has ever been to emerge victorious in November. After all, Americans know they were better off under President Trump — and they know he'll never stop fighting for them.

NEWSFLASH!

VANCE AT THE BORDER

Future Vice President JD Vance was back at the border calling out Kamala’s complete and utter failure as border czar.

You know who has never gone to see the crisis firsthand? Kamala Harris. She has only been to the border once, and it was a part of the border that was staged for her visit. Kamala failed at her current job. The last thing deserves is a promotion.

NEWSFLASH!

KAMALA’S TRUE RECORD AS DA

The facts:
1. Kamala proposed allowing drug dealers to sell drugs without fear of being charged with a crime. Kamala’s plan was that drug dealers would only face charges the THIRD time they are arrested. A former deputy chief of the San Francisco Police Department said, “Kamala Harris was the most liberal and progressive district attorney I worked with in over 30 years in the SFPD.”

2. Kamala protected illegal immigrant drug dealers from prison. She expunged their criminal record and gave them job training. One of them assaulted a woman and left her with a fractured skull.

3. Kamala Harris let MS-13 gang member Edwin Ramos go. He ended up murdering a father and his two sons.

4. Kamala Harris refused to seek the death penalty against cop killer David Hill. Even Dianne Feinstein was shocked by this decision and criticized Kamala for it.

5. Kamala Harris allowed criminals that punch and spit on cops to avoid jail time.

6. Kamala Harris was weak on gun criminals. The San Francisco Chronicle reported, “Police have also challenged Harris over whether she is living up to her promises to get tougher on gun crimes.”

7. Kamala Harris was a failure in the courtroom. San Francisco Weekly reported, “In the first quarter of 2010, things got worse. During that time, Harris' office secured guilty verdicts in just 53 percent of its felony trials – a remarkable figure, revealing that defendants accused of serious crimes who took their case to trial had an even one-in-two shot at winning an acquittal.”

8. Her record as San Francisco District Attorney includes “lenient plea deals and probation for a string of career criminals – a serial domestic abuser who later murdered his girlfriend, a repeat felon who gunned down a newspaper editor in Harris’s hometown of Oakland, and others.”

9. Harris was such a weak-on-crime district attorney that the police had to do an “end run around Harris' office by taking several gang-related homicide cases to federal prosecutors.”
