Trump-Harris debate: The best and worst moments

A panel of campaign strategists and election analysts who watched Tuesday night’s feisty debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris had different takes on the night’s festivities — but did agree on one thing when they spoke to The Post: That Harris had outperformed her boss, President Biden.

Rob Ryan, Republican consultant “Much like Joe Biden in the last debate, Vice President Harris had a bad makeup job. Her face looked washed-out, while Trump had color and looked far younger than his 78 years.

“Trump gets an B+ for his disciplined demeanor. For the most part he didn’t bite when taunted by Harris, except when she brought up his rallies.

“Harris had good debate coaching and was well-practiced. She pivoted from the question asked, talking about whatever topic she wanted, never really answering the question.

“Height of Hypocrisy Award goes to Harris for bragging about Dick Cheney’s endorsement.

The fact that they still are repeating the Charlottesville lie despite real evidence to the contrary pretty much sums up the performance of the ABC mods.

I started watching it but her lies and constant mockery of Trump with laughing, shaking her head was more than I could stomach. Plus, I was exhausted from traveling and not feeling well lately. I turned it off and prayed.

I thought initially Trump looked angry, which sort of bothered me. I hope that didn’t last.

That said, I noticed she lied right out of the gate. She didn’t even answer the first question but went on about what she was GOING to allegedly do.

Trump should have called her out on that as soon as he had the mic. I was disappointed he didn’t and he could have pointed out the rise in gas prices and food, and overall cost of living, the interest rate increases and the unemployment increase. He could have pointed out that black unemployment was lowest ever under him.

Interesting speculation about her earrings.

In all honesty, I doubt the debates swayed much of anyone.

Unless Trump pointed some things out that viewers didn’t know, but then the MSM liars would just *fact check* him to prove him wrong.

Agreed. Harris is a smug, smarmy, skanky little witch. My faith in my fellow man was however destroyed during the covid terror. I had until then believed enough people were sufficiently moral and intelligent to ensure our continued existence as a nation. I no longer believe this to be true. Harris is the embodiment of all that is wrong in our country, and is celebrated by the most badly warped and demonic amongst us (mutilating the sex organs of children is just fine!), yet somehow garners wide support. I have a very uneasy feeling in my chest about how things are going to go in November, not because of last night’s debate —I don’t think it changed anything— but because we Americans have lost our way, yet ‘proudly’ march forth, defiantly certain in our foolishness. I am praying hard and daily for a change in our course.

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was very well said.

You speak for me as well.

OUCH!!!

What a great shot!!!!

He should have worked that angle all night.

[who knows what evil?]

I hear Harris described as ‘every man’s ex-wife’...shudder.

The truth is often off-putting, but it is still truth.

In the real world people still have to buy gas and groceries. Every day people are reminded that the Harris Administration has failed them.

[Dr.Deth]

Feel free to replace with “criminal gangs running free in sanctuary cities”

There’s a half-dozen other contrasts that could be brought in, direct impacts that everyone feels every day in the real world under the Biden-Harris regime. That should have been the focus.

Where in the debate did that occur?

I tried searching for highlights and of course, that was not included in any I found, although I knew that anything by the MSM would NOT have included that so didn’t watch those.
