Good statement. Like Clinton said, don’t count the lies, count the I s.

Normal energy plants? Why didn’t she do it? They are laughing at us. The leaders are talking to me. They are the worst.

Thank og it is over.

That was beyond words. Whoa Nelly. That was insane.

Nobody ever called him on the crime rate.

But at least they called him on some things.

Yeah, I mentioned that earlier - anything to prevent accordion hands. He managed to do it once, but they strapped his hand back down during the break.

Trump’s closing statement actually started pretty well, with a coherent point that “if she had so many plans why hasn’t she done it”, but then he started going off the rails and took the fast lane to crazy town wiping his initial statement from peoples minds.

So if Kamala gave away a lot of the military to the Taliban, how was he able to re-build the military _after_ he left office???

Summary, based on my impression:

Harris: Hope.

Trump: Fear.

I’ll give Harris the win.

I believe at one point Muir responded with FBI data about declining crime rates.

This may be the second Presidential debate in history where Poland could be a decisive factor in the election.

Brilliant move on mentioning the polish American population of Pennsylvania.

Also brilliant move in cornering trump to introduce herself and shake hands.
