Hard disagree. The average American isn’t necessarily as astute as we might be. They go for how he makes them feel, not how truthful he is.

Gosh Donald, you had four years as president to do all the things you’ve been saying you want to do. Why didn’t you do it?

His body language plus his spoken language are really bad. Other than the folks who are diehard supporters who won’t be swayed anyway, he’s not helping himself by going on.

Yup, as far as they are concerned this is Trump at his best, sticking it to the Dems. Just like he does in his rallies. They will blame the moderators who kept on trying to correct Trumps statements with fake news.

I think the law does not allow for an abortion in the 313th trimester.

Apparently she gave a lot of the military away to the Taliban.

Harris was above all well-prepared and disciplined. She was sometimes not particularly responsive to the actual question starting from the first one but she hit most of the talking points she needed to: both in attack and in explaining her agenda.

Trump was Trump. He was shouting, scowling and rambling for 90 minutes. I don’t think it will be effective with voters who are still making up their mind.
