Wow.
Harris smashed him.
Fears that she wasn’t ready, concerns that she would come across as flakey – all disappeared as she handled hard questions, in real time and managed to really push Trump back time and time and time again.
He was unhinged.
He lied through his teeth, he repeated numerous falsehoods and he couldn’t get any traction during the debate on any issue.
It was the same old grievances and hates and I just think America is tired of the grievances and hate.
American’s love 2 things, self belief and positivity.
Trump has self belief to the point of delusion (and that came across many times during the debate) but Harris had positivity AND self belief.
Harris was cool, calm and prosecuted her case with compassion, intelligence and intellectual rigour.
Sure it was shallow pap, but shallow pap is a billion times better than deranged pap.
Because Harris has done so little media, this debate mattered and she crushed him.
Harris’s Childless Cat Ladies of America smashed Trump’s United States of Wounded Masculinity.
This is American Politics and anything can happen, but Harris passed her first real test of the election with flying colours, the race is still going to be painfully close, but Democrats have much to celebrate.
Sadly Palestinians do not.

i’m watching this live….? seems you put your predetermined opinion on before the debate even ended.. do better your biase is showing badly.
The debate reminded me of the old saying, about there being a battle between two wolves, inside us all.
One evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, ego.
One good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, truth.
Q: so which wolf wins? A: the one you feed.
Oh wait.. Just realised im watching tv1+1.. my bad.
Was that an apology Kim?
More flattery using my name,thank you.
There is a space after the comma, which is correct grammar.
Flattery? Misguided ego in your post silly Bob.
Harris represents the demise of society into a self absorbed rathole
Trump represents at least a slowing of civilizational destruction
Are f’ing kidding?
you
I think Trump is eating dead rats, not cats or dog as he claims…geesh!
You must long for the days when blacks had to piss in seperate toilets.
Separate is the correct spelling millsy.
Since when did you become the spelling police Robert One?
Bob the bullshitter has nothing to do in his life whilst on the benefit millsy, other than read the dictionary.
Bob/John the bullshitter has the worst grammar on this site. Look for no spacing after a comma in any one of his posts.
Seen his Atlantic City casinos fall?
If you look at recent elections roughly 80 million odd burger munching fat bastard Americans do not vote.
Alienation, voter suppression, restrictive enrolment requirements, district gerrymandering and a bent Electoral College are all factors in the non participation.
In a first past the post Election, it inevitably comes down to a lesser evil scenario, so well done Kamala for slapping down the Mango Mussolini with tiny hands…
And yes, the sting in the tale is Palestine. BDS hard people–the Israeli swine are not coming back from this slaughter campaign. The mid East region is heating up for a regional war now–which will be a whole different situation than IDF attacking unarmed civilians existing in tents.
Whatever else you think of the USA, we are only just behind them as “fat bastards”.
“New Zealand has the third highest adult obesity rate in the OECD, and our rates continue to increase. One in three adult New Zealanders (over 15 years) is classified as obese, and one in ten children.” – From the Ministry of Health website.
I know we like to think that we are so much better then them as a nation but we really can’t claim that holier-then-thou status
These are the best two people that can be found to lead the free world. Sad.
+Which is why the networks wont allow DR Jill Stein to a debate she would eat the both of them.
And leading the front page on Stuff: “US election live: After fiery debate Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris for president”. That’s their leading news. The opinion of Taylor Swift. I hope our “media” dies.
You may want to take a look at the number of followers that Swift has and influences before scoffing at that. 800 million plus.
So a woman who made a career singing about her bad choices has endorsed Harris. 🙂
How many of those 800 million swifties are allowed to vote in the US elections, and how many do you think were really going to vote for Trump anyway? So what that she endorses Harris. It wasn’t newsworthy except to our increasingly shallow media.
Worldwide news but no matter Trump said he won the debate 92% to 7. With that logic and with supporters like you, Swift looks a god damn genius!
I thought voting was compulsory in the US Tiger. 80 million can’t get excited by either of them is a sad stat.
There are heaps of other sources on US voting, Wiki is pretty good for the long term history, and they all have a slightly different take.
I just put this short one in to show I did not imagine the figure.

I’m in SFO and the Bsy Area for a couple of months, and altho reluctant to talk politics with the natives, it’s my sense that ppl have had enough of the 1-10%.
And daily I’m in places like Los Gatos (HQ of Netflix) and everywhere between Santa Clara and SFO where the 1-10%ers live. Ppl on the ground offer their opinions.
I’d love to drag Bob tF, EeeOre Seymore and a few others here and dump ’em somewherd like Oakland for some real life ecperience.
Seymore might even find a root or a skool kid to live a virtual life with.
Apologies in advance)
I have lived in many parts of the United States and currently own businesses there so I’m perplexed by your comment
Yes and I own multiple businesses all around the world yet my prime purpose is to post on the daily blog.!
You are a fucking idiot Bob and have the biggest imagination since a meth addict with psychosis. No wonder your perplexed as you are clueless.
Well sais OwT.
Marvelous thing the internet allowing me to comment on the TDB regardless of where I am in the world but NSC seems to be unaware of that.
Being a self employed business owner I work upwards of 70 hours a week not a paltry 35.
To name my businesses on a site like the TDB would be folly.
70 hours a week? I get my 500 staff to do that. Your not that bright are you Bob the bullshitter.
Okay what are the names of your businesses, just one would be great so you can confirm your narcissistic personality disorder?
What, wait nothing Bob the bullshiter?
@ bob the lonely.
Ah… so you’re a cast member…

I bet you’re perplexed BtF! You probably regard yourself as “centre right” as well.
Yesterday I met a very very wealthy woman in a place called San Mateo. A former Republican. Intelligent and socially aware. Smart enough to know that the 1 and 10%ers have pushed too far.
She’ll be voting Dems from now on.
As for what she thinks of her former Republican social circle: “They think their shit don’t stink”.
All volunteered – i stay away from discussing pols
Thanks fans your undivided attention which is humbling and flattering.
You’ve no idea how much I appreciate it.
Looking forward to todays compliments.
Using such foul language she must be a Democrat.
Gosh OwT your sample size,one woman,is very scientific.
What makes you think it was just 1 person?
Because Bob the bullshitter has a very, very narrow view of the world and his imaginary voices determine whether he has a good or bad day.
As expected, the former successful prosecutor and current VP of USA crushed the Felon Diaper Don Dementia Loser in a show that pitted courtroom honed skills against a grifter’s pap of lies. Judging by the output from such groups as the Lincoln Foundation and the Republicans Against Trump, the former POTUS, now convicted felon, is not only losing support among Republicans, but also among his own MAGA supporters. Across all the major and most minor polling agencies, Harris is leading by between 3 and 8 points in all the battleground states and well ahead in the Democrat states from the last election. There is even some polling suggesting that both Texas and Florida might swing Democrat. Many Republican senators and governors are now fearful of being ousted.
In ten years time, many will look back at this strange period of USA history and wonder what possessed almost half of the voting American public to support a Russian stooge/spy. My guess is that examination of documentation will show the infiltration of Russian intelligence into Western media, especially Fox and similar outlets, and social media, convinced and confused Americans about Trump and the Brits about Brexit. The deliberate funding from Russian Mafyia (Putin controlled) is probably the most successful espionage coup of the 21st century.
RCP polling averages history shows Clinton and Biden with greater leads over Trump in 2016 and 2020 respectively than Harris has, with him leading in several swing states. CNN showed .that he out-performed his polls by 4% in 2016 and 9% inn 2020
Martyn – Trump is still going to win because Harris is more unpopular than Trump…
No Nathan, Harris will probably win more of the popular vote than Trump, but the college system is in his/the Republicans favour. How do think GWB became President
At least Harris doesnt call for the execution of innocent black men (ie the Central Park 5) or outlaw women’s access to abortion and birth control. He will probably outlaw sex outside of marriage as well. The guys wants to impose Biblical law at the point of an AR-15.
Get your facts straight millsy. Trump did not call for the execution of the Central Park 5. He reacted to the incident in which a 28-year-old woman going for a run was raped and brutalised so badly she lost three-quarters of her blood, by denouncing crime in the city in general and calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty for murder. The jogger, although raped and bashed, did not die.
Nor has Trump ever called for a federal ban on women’s access to abortion or birth control.
They are still innocent though. But in your pathetic little Karen mind, you think anyone who is black = criminal? Perhaps we should have just jailed every single young black man in the USA, there would be no crime.
Show some respect you wimpy white prog and capitalise the B. It’s de facto these days didn’t ya know.
Well strumpy does have a concept of a plan.
Not really Bomber, in some ways, our New ZEALAND, voters, red neck like Trump, yet today another large local towns employer, has shut up shop, hope those jobs gone, got a redundencey pay out, wha,t you buy my job, what price. Nationalize all our used owned Nationalised infrastructure back to caring not market exploit, for investors,.
She was great. Trump was deranged. Lock up your cats and dogs because migrants are killing and eating them! And crime has reduced in the rest of the world because they are sending all the criminals to the US. FFS. As for Palestine, yeah, get that, but never expected a foreign policy shift announcement in this debate given the target in the weird US political system means a handful of swing states will decide the Presidential election.
“[Haitians] are in the park grabbing up ducks by their neck, cutting their head off…and eating them!” – testimony from a Black resident.
Trump is the most racist US president in history. And anyone who supports or votes for him is racist as well.
Trust good old Milsy with the lying hyperbole.
“Twelve of the 18 presidents who held office between 1789 and 1877 owned slaves in various capacities: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James Polk, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson, and Ulysses Grant.”
Trump would have used illegal immigrants on his many building projects. While he didnt ‘own’ them, their lack of protections would have enabled him to have them deported at any time.
Plus the Don actively condones police brutality against blacks, he has promised to make cops immune from any procecution, so bascially it means a white cop can gun down any black and get away with it.
Say what you like about Bush and Cheney, they didnt call for the execution of innocent black men.
After Hurricane Katrina Kanye West said Bush didn’t care about Black people – and you all gleefully agreed.
Bush never condoned police brutality, or call for a curtailment of domestic civil liberties to fight crime. He never supported mass incarceration either.
Bush was a prick, but nowhere near as bad as Trump,
So if it is raining cats and dogs, no one will go hungry. What a f’ing drop kick of an individual Trump is.
I thought it was pretty equal. MAGA will be annoyed Kamala didn’t melt down like Biden did. Conversely Trump also kept his cool, and didn’t say anything beyond his usual scope. Both gave a 6/10 performance imo – the only thing that was surprising is that neither embarrassed themselves.
You clearly have a weird definition of keeping cool.
I thought any fuckwit off the street with reasonable rationality could defeat Trump. Biden bumbled into the care home. Harris proved my point.
On her side, her tax policies are magnificent, as Reich and Sanders point out. But I wouldn’t vote for her if she didn’t stop Gaza immediately.
shallow pap, deranged pap, same same but different
Wounded masculinity.
It describes the reaction to ‘woke’ to a great extent.
It was like watching Lt. Daniel Kaffee in front of Colonel Nathan R. Jessep in A Few Good Men. I almost expected Trump to admit he’d ordered the code red. “Did you order the code red?” “You’re god dam right I did!” He is unhinged. She just had to light the fuse. Keep it about him.
I bet you’re perplexed BtF! You probably regard yourself as “centre right” as well.

Ho hum. His polls barely budged after his conviction, so compared to a debate???
Trump said the debate was rigged but he won anyway. Keep supporting the showman, Americans and some kiwi supporters of his are so thick.
I did not watch the debate so I’ll just quote someone smarter than me (Chinese was her first language) –
https://www.rt.com/russia/603832-trump-harris-debate-titanic/
The US presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris lacked substance and was largely irrelevant considering that their country is going full speed ahead towards disaster, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has argued.
Speaking on Radio Sputnik on Wednesday, she said she did not consider it a high-profile event. It mattered as much as the outcome of a hypothetical wrestling match on board the ill-fated Titanic during its trip across the Atlantic Ocean, she claimed.
”Who do you think won? Why would that matter? The iceberg is 15 minutes away,” she said.
Extending the metaphor, she said neither Trump nor Harris intended to get to the wheel to change the course of the ship. America is on its way to a “total, global disaster” and the rest of the world is trying to prepare for it, she suggested.
The debate itself, according to Zakharova, was a mixture of “fantasizing about the future” and citing some facts about the past, with the candidates failing to agree on what those facts were.
”We were given the latest show by people who apparently never ever take any responsibility for what they say,” the Russian official said.
International audiences paid attention to what happened in Philadelphia on Tuesday night because they want to know which nations “will get punished and how much” during the next US presidential term, Zakharova stated.
So, the word salad queen actually strung sentences together for a change…the Dem pit stop crew have worked wonders here. Otherwise, yet another political circus, featuring two bought and paid for puppets, designed to appease the masses without expressing, let alone committing to any policies that serves the masses. We do we continually fall for this shyt!
Trump lost the moment he talked about hatian migrants eating neighbours’ dogs lmao
