Every other human that has ever been nominated to be President is younger.
Bill Clinton is still younger.

He will be going up against an opponent with decades of experience taking down liars and criminals in front of juries. This should be exceedingly fun to watch.

We all know Biden did a pretty terrible job during the debate. But people seem to forget that Trump was basically almost as bad as Biden and also gave rambling, nonsensical answers. And his cognitive decline is even more apparent if you watch *any* of his most recent rallies (sharks? Hannibal Lector?). He would have been slaughtered in the debate by anyone who had more mental acuity than Biden. And Harris isn’t just coherent, she’s sharp and intelligent. I can’t wait to see her wreck Trump during the debate on Tuesday.

Yeah, either he’s going to flee or it’s going to be yet another of his debacles. Anything but a debate with real issues and rational thought and stuff.

And trump could stand there and just drool on the floor while pissing himself the entire time and NOT A SINGLE hard-core republican or Maghat would change their vote.

Sharper opponent feels like watching someone try to sprint through quicksand. It’s going to be interesting to see how he navigates this one.

He’s not going to debate. He’s going to yell word salads.
Forward_Panic_4414 on
I wish we would stop pretending that these are debates. Trump isn’t going to debate anything. Nobody thinks he is going to stay on topic. He is going to make wild accusations, lie, yell, and generally act like a child. Harris is going to be graded on her responses, her record, her policy propals and Trump will be praised if he doesn’t drop a hard R. The double standards in these “debates” are disgusting at this point.

It feels like we’re falling into the same trap that everyone debating trump has fallen into since 2016.
trump doesn’t have to be an articulate, reasoned debater with cogent ideas. He doesn’t even need to be coherent.
trump’s debate strategy is to create a wall of noise in which insults and key words are placed that will arouse his rabid base. It’s all about the fear and hatred for them.
The media will then do what it’s always done. They’ll use what trump’s russian handlers say he meant and then do false comparisons with Harris’ statements. It’s almost impossible to win the post-debate when the media is solidly behind one candidate.

It’s frustrating AF that she has to be absolutely perfect. All trump has to do is manage to not call her the N word and the media will say he won.
stripedvitamin on
Won’t matter.
The media will normalize Trump as they always have and no one, young or old can debate a fire hose of lies.
Especially when the entire event has been framed as rigged against Trump.
Everything is in Trump’s favor.
Her opening statement must be something to the effect of “every word out of my opponents mouth will be a lie. I urge you all to read and watch the fact checks after this debate. There is no way for me to refute all the lies in this environment. Now let’s get down to talking policy.

The next morning…Harris campaign raises 100 million overnight while Trump struggles to grift a value meal.
BeowulfShaeffer on
It’s not going to move the needle. I’ll bet a week post debate the numbers move less than a point. Both national and swing state. I do think Trump is likely to see his numbers slowly erode before the election due to his accelerating craziness but I will be shocked if they move significantly post debate.
Really I think Kamala has the most to lose. If she missteps or gaffes even once it will be all over the media and her numbers will suffer. If Trump shits himself on stage and it dribbles onto the floor it will just be framed as “Trump being Trump” and the numbers won’t move. What could be possible say that he hasn’t said already?
TheBigToes on
But will the media have a meltdown over his performance like it did with Biden’s?
Rude_Tie4674 on
Trump is difficult to debate because the facts are made up and the rules don’t matter.
IsThisThingOn69lol on
lmao he’s not going to debate. He’ll get covid or some shit. It would be such a bloody slaughter. He’s made out of straw and she’ll be dual wielding flame throwers the whole time.
Kendal-Lite on
She’s twenty years younger too. I can’t believe half the country is even considering an 80 year old with dementia that wears adult diapers.
gitree22 on
It would be great if she found an opportunity or two to call him weird during the debate and then just stand back and standby while his head explodes

Dear The Media, just to be clear – VP Harris owes Donald ZERO respect.
He is not a man. He is not a father. He is not an ex-president. He is not a businessman. He is not a politician. He is not an elder.
Donald Trump is scum. And VP Harris may treat him as such.
Fionasfriend on
99% of debate prep is setting the expectations and Trump has already won that game.
The bar of expectation is so low for Trump that anything he does short of take a dump on stage is going to be treated like a wild success. He can Lie all day on and garble word salad the whole time. The press won’t call it out.
Meanwhile, if Harris acts too smart she’ll be called some version of Uppity. Too slow and she’ll be called overrated. If she misplaces one verb or name- she’ll be declared unfit. If she misstated a single fact or statistic she’ll be raked over the coals.
AND NONE OF IT WILL MATTER to the main goal of getting people out to vote. We have to make that happen.
I’m already over it.
Jlane2009 on
He never answers the question. If she would just call him out for it every time he doesn’t.
Class_of_22 on
Apparently, from what I have read, Harris’s team is operating under the thought that trump performed much better than expected against Biden, and they are planning to hone in on his vulnerabilities and prepare for whatever he has for them.
2pierad on
He won’t debate her. There will be a health situation, and then he will claim to reschedule but never will. Then he will play victim, and accuse Democrats of being “heartless” for making fun of his health issue
smokingace182 on
Problem will be trying to fact check all of trumps lies while also making her own points.
DaggerInMySmile on
I hope she begins every statement with “My opponent, who is a multiple felon, convicted rapist, and long time Epstein associate,”.
flux_of_grey_kittens on
She should mention that what he just said didn’t make any sense whenever it goes back to her.
exitpursuedbybear on
If Trump doesn’t shit himself on stage they will say he held his own. If Kamala doesn’t deliver the Gettysburg address and give a 50 point plan to solve everything including that Cletus Haywood’s dog keeps pooping on the rug, they’ll say she did…Ok.
kevonicus on
She needs to just ask him why Pence won’t endorse him over and over.

r/politics was SO sure of themselves before the first debate too lmao. Biden was gonna wipe the floor with senile trump according to this sub 😆 there was so many articles just like this
