“Do you want Ukraine to win this war?”  
“I want this war to stop.”

Ouch.

Meh. Small potatoes in the grand scheme.

But I would like Harris to ask Muir why he’s calling Trump president. “He hasn’t been one for four years.”

How would you deal with the war in Gaza and secure the release of the hostages?  
The American southern border! Immigrants coming across our border!!

I don’t think that talking about how great a relationship he has with Zelinskyy and how Biden should have called him like he does comes out as good as he thought it would.

I think attacking the moderators is a bad move, which is why Trump is doing it.

How exactly would you end the war?

Do you want Ukraine to lose?

– not answering either part of it.

He’ll get Putin and Zelenskyy to agree. In 24 hours.

– Answer the question! – he’s not going to answer the question.

Do you want Ukraine to win the war?

Trump: I want the war to end.

Translation: I would gladly throw Ukraine under the bus.

So Trump clearly wants Ukraine to surrender. And Harris called him on it.

I don’t think he’s said or done anything that will change any of his supporters’ minds. I’d like to see her sounding more forceful.

I have to say, when whatshername spounted three question to Harris, Harris only covered one of them, but her time was limited. Harris is dodging a few hard balls also, but trump is just ignoring the moderators.

trump went craycray when Harris mentioned trumps own people turned against him. His face turned a rather dangerous shade of red. They DO have paramedics there, waiting, right? Just in case?

He looked pretty bad there a couple times…

I had to stop watching.

I think she’s been just the right amount. She has sounded angry at times without going over the top into rants like he has done.

Harris listing military hardware by name makes her look like a Commander in Chief. Good.
