What a great debate. I have to say it: Anyone who can still support Trump after seeing the stark contrast between the caliber of these two candidates is (a) ignorant, (b) deluded, and/or (c) immoral. I will be proud to call Kamala Harris “Madam President.” Yes, there is still a battle to be waged. This skirmish was a decisive victory for those of us who cherish freedom. Just as the Revolution began with what Emerson called “the shot heard ‘round the world,” so too will Vice President Harris’ words be heard by weary, uneasy nations. We have found the leader to free us from encroaching fascism. And we’re not turning back.

Exactly what I thought from that first walk across the stage, into his “personal” space to introduce herself - she is ready to take DJT on and down!

It is my belief that the MAGA cultists are all three of what you listed.

She was amazing in the debate with a lying narcissistic psychopath to accomplish the goals needed for her campaign and for all Americans. 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

She totally aced it! Even Fox admits she won. He’s a tired old self-absorbed grouch and needs to be in prison.

When MVP said she knew his type, I guess she wasn’t kidding.

I freely admit to being very anxious about this, but as soon as she strode across the stage ( and cornered him) to introduce herself and shake his hand, I knew it would be ok.

She is a badass in the best sense of the word.

His reticence to stand face to face with a much smaller person - a woman, or "prey" to a sexual abuser - demonstrated just how mentally weak he really is. Both as a bully and a human being. He was scared before he even stepped on that stage. Putin must look at that toupée and think how good it would be for mopping his floor with.

A Worldwide audience could've watched without sound or closed captions and know who won this debate on facial expressions and gestures alone!

I watched it muted, following the comments on X. It was clear who was in control, and it wasn't Trump. Taylor Swift with the coup de grace. As I like to say to Trump supporters - that's your guy. Too scared to even lift his head to look her in the face. Eyes darting around looking for help. Just imagine one of them with Putin, hammering out the details of Russia's unconditional surrender in Ukraine. In Israel, getting the hostages home and finding a Palestinian homeland, throwing Hamas out like the trash they are. Speaking with a person in the wreckage of their home following a land falling hurricane. You still want Trump? That's your guy.

Thank you so much for your pre- and post-debate insight last night, Brian. It’s even lovelier to relive your wisdom in this post! I can sit back, relax and read it with a big Swiftie Smile on my face.

I'm sure you remember Big Jessie's horribly misogynistic comment on Fox, about what would happen in the command room if Kamala was in charge. Anyone still fancy their chances after last night? I can see only one person being taken advantage of, time and again... and it's not the Joyful Warrior.

The orange traitor was blown away by a very smart woman. Since he thinks women exist to be breeders, or objects to do with whatever he pleases, he was totally blown away.

And I look forward to VP Harris doing it to him again.

And then, watching him become totally irrelevant in this world.

I’ve never seen such a masterful dismantling of one’s debate opponent.

VP Harris played Trump like a fiddle at a hillbilly hoedown.

Rhetorical question: what happens when a smart, capable, articulate candidate debates a narcissistic, ignorant, egomaniacal blowhard with no self control, regardless of race or gender?

Thank you for such an inciteful, articulate, and inspiring assessment of the debate. You always nail it. I am saving your "review" to remind me of what this election is about and to share with friends who may still be on the fence to keep them from falling off on the wrong side.

I absolutely love what you do, I have a lot of respect for the work that you do. You speak for many people who don't feel like they have a voice, and you have given it back to us. It really means so much. I didn't get to partake in the polling about whether or not we saw as many signs in our neighborhood as we did before, so I can tell you that now, where there wasn't a house without signs before, today, I only saw two. They might just be afraid to support him, but I doubt it. There's quite a few of outspoken women around here, so I don't know if it could be they are just going along with their husbands? I just don't know. Either way, we'll see in November. God please don't let him near the white house ever again. It's that thing about when someone comes right out and tells you exactly who & what they are..,.. you better start listening..... especially when they say it repeatedly. If you haven't listened after the 5th time and on the 6th..... someone gets hurt, seriously .,.. who's fault is it really though??

Aside from everything I just said, I don't know if it's just bc I am too old, or just ignorant when it comes to politics, bc I have never paid as close attention as I have until the past 10 YEARS. Yes and I am ashamed to say that. But it's true. I don't know what I was thinking, but I guess I thought my husband was doing the "paying attention"..…well we're not longer together so I figured just like the ""news""& I use this word very loosely. Once I found you tube, the only traditional news source I still watch is MSNBC and even they make me give them the side eye some days. But Fox is mind boggling, I mean I guess bc they must be extremely rich and that's why they are even on TV? BC I just don't understand some of the shit that they actually say. Like they just seriously blatantly lie,..I barely can handle a few minutes of the bullshit before I have to change it.....so idk if they lie about EVERYTHING or just shit for Trump?? And the women are so trippy, ( I am not even one who condones attacking other women, but I say .... what's good for the goose, is just as good for the gander) and only bc of the viciousness towards other women in general. Example::: case and point, Arlington cemetery incident, I'm certainly sure..... you understand why the poor lady didn't even*want this attention*

And now look, she's got Genuine Piro ( don't know how to spell her name) ~~~ saying, ON NATIONAL TV....TO MAKE AN INCIDENT REPORT ~~ OR STFU, BC THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT SHE'S JUST A MENTAL PATIENT WHO WAS HAVING A BREAK DOWN THAT PARTICULAR DAY!!!!

LIKE HOW DARE HER, GENINE PIRO, SHOULD BE CENSURED, SANCTIONED AND OR LET GO. THIS HAS GONE WAAY TO FAR..... AND THE ARMY SHOULD DO MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE. IF SHE HASN'T ALREADY HAD A BREAKDOWN, SHE MIGHT END UP HAVING ONE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY PPL ARE AFRAID OF HIM AND HIS THUGS.

IDK IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY..., BUT THERE'S QUITE A FEW SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HOW MUCH THEY BULLY PPL WHO THEY THINK HAVE WRONGED THEM IN CERTAIN WAYS. LEAH REMENI KNOWS QUITE A BIT ABOUT IT. MIKE RENNER ( HE HAD CANCER AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS STILL ALIVE BUT HE KNEW MORE THAN ANYONE. THE SIMILARITIES WOULD STUN YOU. ( OR AT THIS POINT ~~ MAYBE NOT¡)

ANYWAY.... THIS IS DARK AND SCARY, TOO MANY PEOPLE,DISREGARD THIS AS HARMLESS RHETORIC AND UNFORTUNATELY ITS REALLY NOT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR THEIR INTERNET AND CELL PHONES TO BE CUT OFF, AND THE SMALL SUBTLE THINGS TO HAPPEN, UNTIL AROUND DAY 10 OR SO WHEN THEY REALIZE OH SHIT..... BETTER CHECK OUR BANK ACCOUNT??
