The Democrats have pulled out all the stops on this one. The moderators are delivering obviously prepared, leading "gotcha" questions for Trump, basically doing half of Harris' work for her. While giving her favorably worded questions. It almost comes off like a principal-student-parent conference, with both sides treating Trump like a trouble-making child.
I know her prep team had some former Obama staffers, which is telling, (and unfortunately still effective as far as optics go).
Sort of a side-note, but I half wonder if the Democrats might've used AI text-gen trained on both candidates to plan out some of their strategy and talking points.
Absolutely true, but I also think Trump underperformed. Sadly, this would have been a great time for the completely unhinged version of Trump. I think he brought what he thought would be needed, and didn't want to seem like a bully, but didn't realize how badly the deck would be stacked.
He needed to just be insane here, he needed to bring the high energy. He had good reasons to be toned down, but it also meant he didn't get that many good gotchas, and Harris could coast on simply not being her usual cackling, word salad spewing self. He didn't lose, but he didn't win...and that's not quite what was needed. His opponents pulled out all the stops on this one.
I disagree with him underperforming. Guy did ok for the most part with the 3 v 1. But let's be honest kamala didn't really do much either as most of the debate were the mods carrying water for kamala. And people took notice of that. as of X's trendings, 3 of the tags are raking abc for the biased debate.
I couldn't stomach to watch any of it, but I did dip into some normie YouTube channels such as MSNBC just to see what the average normie comments were like, and oh boy were they roasting Camel Toes to the high heavens. It was quite the white pill moment for me.
