  1. It’s not too late, Republicans should swap him out for JD Vance. Then Kamala should debate Vance and destroy him too. That would be fun!

  2. Trump could not look in her direction all night.

    Kamala made him give her a handshake.

    It is clear who was in control. He lost.

  3. She tore him a new asshole and all he could do was shit through it.

  4. Honestly his performance should raise the same concerns that Biden’s did. Trump clearly showed that he could not remember the questions and only responded to the most recent words, a clear demonstration of cognitive decline.

  5. The most underrated part was when he said that Kamala wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison. I couldn’t hear the rest of what he said because of the uproar of laughter coming from the group I was watching it with.

    (Around the 1-minute mark.)

  6. It was so satisfiyng to watch Adolf Trump exposing himself and taking bait after bait. This was *not* a presidential debate. The man should never have been on stage.

  7. Oh it was absolute savagery. He got destroyed like a jobber in an indie wrestling match. He must have missed that Harris was a prosecutor or something, because she took him to school and decimated him.

  8. It was absolutely worth staying up until 4am to see it all (from across the pond), just for sheer entertainment value. Like even though I can’t vote it was definitely worth the watch. It was at a minimum more entertaining than house of the dragon season 2.

  9. He sure hated to have his lies checked and exposed. He can’t get a message to his followers if he can’t lie and it gets checked.

  10. The best part is how he doesn’t actually seem to understand what a tariff is or what his own party’s policies are, then got absolutely bollocked by her on stage with his simplistic worldview on show.

    He’s an absolute joke, finally the media tells it like it is. Every question he went back to “illegals”until he shit the bed with the talk of people having their pets eaten. So pitifully easy to manipulate, she did it without breaking a sweat. He was red faced with rage and all she had to do was insult his crowd sizes – surely someone politically minded would at least see this stuff coming and choose not to react? What a loser.

  11. …At one point Trump seemed to even confuse himself, first accusing Harris of stealing his economic plan and then calling her a “Marxist” for advocating those economic policies…

    TIL Trump is a Marxist by his own admission

  12. Oh wow, it actually seems like Trump is completely unqualified to run in every conceivable way imaginable.

  13. She said it so well. We are sick of his name calling, his divisiveness that he perpetuates, his lies, his not taking accountability, and we need to move on to a better place.

  14. Trump was like “Hey! I want more time to completely take her bait!”.

    And he got it and he did. Repeatedly.

  15. Well… I only watched the first 40 minutes or so but given the fact that the first 40 gave us both “In Springfield they’re eating the dogs!” And “she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison” I would say I got the best parts.

  16. Something minor relative to the batcrazy stuff he was saying that stuck with me was when he said something like, ‘shh, I’m talking… I’m sure you’ve heard that before’. Like yea women have had to deal with misogynistic crap like that for forever. And then they’re shocked that they’ve lost the woman vote when he’s up their saying misogynistic crap.

  17. Even when he wasn’t talking he alternated between faking a demented looking smile and looking like a misbehaving child who was being yelled at by his principal for flooding the bathroom.

  18. The post debate spin room is where the candidates’ surrogates speak to the press about their person’s performance. Trump obviously knew he did badly, so much so that he was compelled to enter the spin room himself(not a normal occurrence) to tell the press that he thought it was his greatest debate performance. He reeks of desperation.

  19. This is how you win the “cat ladies” back. Promise to protect their pets from being eaten by immigrants. You guys just don’t understand 4d chess.

  20. Trump is done. Patriotic Republicans must vote Harris to get their party back and rebuild. Trumps defeat will be epic, he us done.

  21. Donald Trump is too old and easily manipulated to be president.

  22. He admitted that he will commit treason during the debate.

    A President elect is not cleared to negotiate with anyone intentionally much less negotiate a peace treaty. Trump said he’ll talk to Putin even as a President Elect. That’s treason, defined.

    Plus we all know how he’ll “end” the war in Ukraine…Harris got him dead to right when she said he’ll just give it up.

  23. What impressed me most is that it’s very clear Trump is mentally competent enough to serve prison time after he loses this election.

  24. The most telling moment for me was this morning. I passed a home that usually has Trump signs out in the yard. Homeowner pulled them. They were sitting against his house when I drove past. Hoping I see far fewer of those signs in central PA from here on out.

  25. Here’s the Republican plan in all its glory. Haitian immigrants eat all the cats being hoarded by childless cat ladies. People are saying it’s a perfect solution.

  26. It’s insane how many new memes were birthed last night. Truly remarkable.

  27. He also said, “… because I’m not President right now…”

    There’s going to be a lot of confused QAnon weirdos who think he’s secretly still the President.

  28. I respect Biden, but the issue is that he is an old school politician and outside of a few tomcat comments, was never able to go after Trump the way that he needed to.

    Talking about policy is not how you beat Trump. No, you need to attack his ego and break him

    Harris has experience taking down powerful men who believed themselves untouchable.

    So, attacking Trump on his crowd sizes took him off his game and the 81 million Americans fired you visibly crushed him.

    It may not be clean, but it’s good to see that Harris not holding back.

  29. Did anyone see Trump this morning at the 9/11 memorial? While everyone else was bowing their heads in a moment of silence, he was looking at the sky looking like a bored school boy. Harris point proven, if it is not about him, he is not interested.

  30. No one from his camp wanted him to do this. They knew Kamala would eviscerate him. She was spectacular and easily baited him like the expert prosecutor she is.

  31. “THEY’RE EATING DOGS!”

    The man really believes it. Completely unhinged.

  32. Let’s not forget when he named his sources and they were all Fox “News” talking heads.

    Oh, and also naming a dictator as a character reference. Please.

    That’s like being endorsed by the late, great, Hannibal Lechter.

  33. I haven’t seen a meltdown like that since Slippin Jimmy had Huell drop a phone battery into Chuck’s suit pocket.

  34. Anyone else catch her almost say something along the lines of “this fucking asshole?” She caught herself mid-sentence and said “this f…former president”

    Very subtle but probably my favorite moment.
