Well, I've never seen a presidential candidate go so insane on national television.

[lees1975]

He's a raving lunatic.

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

1. Umm, he did in the first debate in 2020

[ailsagirl]

24. But was he THIS far gone? I didn't/couldn't watch either so I can't say.

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

25. Yes he was

[iemanja]

29. It won't bother his supporters

It wasn’t any crazier than his rallies. He didn’t win over undecided voters though.

[calimary]

53. I'm sure they'll still give him a pass, but the rest of us are starting to head for the exits.

[liberal N proud]

2. The BATSHIT was on full display

[wnylib]

16. Yup. Harris baited him and he took the bait every time.

He even went batshit crazy when she was not baiting him.

I watched on PBS. Afterward, during the analysis, even the Republican strategist said bluntly that Trump did poorly because he took the bait and rambled about his grievances instead of putting forth solid plans for the future. A PBS commentator said it is late in the campaign so there probably won't be another debate between them. The rest said it's unlikely that the Trump campaign would agree to one after tonight and chuckled.

I have BBC radio on right now and they said that, although both sides will claim a win, the Trump campaign will not convince many people that Trump won. They described Trump as rambling off into some of his rally style comments and grievances while Harris presented good policy points and successfully went on the offense against Trump.

[birdographer]

30. I caught all the baiting

Some was so subtle--did you notice his quick cringe when she mentioned bringing in a "new generation"?

She called him weak and he immediately called her weak at least 5 times in the next 10 minutes.

I wish she had done one thing, and I understand why she didn't, she was going for subtlety, but when he said America was a "laughingstock" to the rest of the world, I so wish she had asked if he wasn't mistaking America for himself, or words to that effect. He is, after all, the laughingstock.

[wnylib]

31. She did an excellent job of skewering him while

putting forth her policies and plans with enthusiasm and professionalism.

[ShazzieB]

49. She told him what other world leaders think of him (i.e., not much).

I think that really got to him. He immediately started bragging about how much Erdogan likes him! (So he thinks. )

He's so stupid that he can't see how guys like Erdogan and Putin and Kim have figured out how to manipulate him with flattery. What a yutz!

[Straw Man]

50. Yes, but ...

He immediately started bragging about how much Erdogan likes him!

... it was Viktor Orban's love that he was bragging on -- unless I missed something.

[ShazzieB]

57. Oh, I'll bet you're right!

The more I think about it, the more I'm sure you are.

I can see how I mixed them up. Trump has so many despotic, "strong man" boyfriends, it's hard to keep them all straight!

[bdamomma]

69. And also

Orban. He wants to be in big boy dictator club.

[Cha]

62. Bwah... TSF's plan for the future... Project 2025.. did he

forget about that when he was being Tormented with Truth Bombs by VP Harris?

TY

PS... Lindsey Graham did say it was a Disaster and TSF should fire his debate prep team. Also Brit Hume said he lost.

[bdamomma]

68. Baiting,

like Kamala was throwing chum out to him and he took the bait!!!!!

[Batshit_Bruin_CA]

26. Yes indeed. Certifiably batshit crazy.

N/T

[claudette]

3. Not until tonight!

[onetexan]

58. Ketchup is flying as we speak, in between rage tweets

[rsdsharp]

4. Frankly, he was worse in the debate against Biden when he had covid,

and they juiced him on speed to get him through it.

[TomCADem]

14. Old Trump Would At Least Spout a Lie That Pertained To the Question...

...new Trump is just full of incoherent rage. It seemed like he could barely focus on the question posed, because he just wanted to insult Biden. He should just count himself lucky that he did not just start cussing.

[Orrex]

19. I'm sure that the media will draw that comparison as well

Just kidding. They'll talk about how he's a master of connecting with his voters and staying true to his no-holds-barred rhetorical style.

And then they'll wonder aloud if Harris seems too focused on winning the presidency, and does this suggest some underlying weakness?


Because the media is a bunch of useless fools totally beholden to Reichwing Republican propaganda.

[raccoon]

64. Say it louder for the ones in the back:

Because the media is a bunch of useless fools totally beholden to Reichwing Republican propaganda.

[fishwax]

5. there's no question that he's lost touch with reality, there's only a question of whether it will matter

[lees1975]

6. Yes, it will depend on how many sane people are left.

[poozwah]

65. company of zeros

unfortunately, trump is not the only one who has lost touch with reality. MAGA is a drug for people who cannot handle reality.

[Emrys]

7. Among others, Erick Erickson is NOT HAPPY

Erick Erickson
@EWErickson

YOU STUPID MF’ers JUST GOT TRUMP TO REPEAT YOUR LIE ABOUT THE PETS. CONGRATS ON SETTING THE NEWS STORIES TOMORROW BY LYING SO TRUMP PICKS IT UP AND SAYS STUPID SHIT.

Link to tweet

[surfered]

9. Wait, what? Is that what happened to my missing Dachsund?

[GopherGal]

10. Trying to get the childless cat ladies upset about immigration?

[NH Ethylene]

45. That claim was priceless during the debate.

And when he was presented with the facts, he exclaimed, "I saw it on tv!"

[Old Crank]

51. So EE is saying Trump is a gullible old fool?

He knew Trump would blast out garbage about a fake story like it was the truth to him.
Keep planting fake stupidity for him to repeat.

[LeftInTX]

63. LOL!

[surfered]

8. We've never had an insane candidate before

[edisdead]

40. Ronald Reagan has entered the chat

[mucholderthandirt]

59. George W. Bush entered the chat.

[NoveltySocks]

11. He's completely and utterly batshit.

[johnnyfins]

12. Well he is facing...

PRISON

[Initech]

13. I only saw like 30 minutes.

Crawling out from that steaming pile was like being hit with a ton of bricks.

[Aristus]

23. Same here. I had to drop out. I can't stand listening to that asshole.

I’m glad it was a grand slam for Kamala. But I’m better off hearing about it afterward than having to waste brain function on that contaminated mess of human protoplasm.

[Comfortably_Numb]

34. Solid opinion. I too had to quit. He's a psycho.

[Comfortably_Numb]

36. Confession. I waded back in out of spite, and heard him talk about the eating dogs story!!! Omg!!! He said it.

This dotard believes everything he reads on the internet.

[Mr.Bill]

38. When he was fact-checked by the moderator

his defense was "It was all on TV!"

[Comfortably_Numb]

43. That too!!!! At least a feeble effort at fact checking tonight. Better than the CNN joke of a debate.

You made me smile——“but I saw it on tv.”

[GB_RN]

54. "But I Saw It On TV!"

But wait, there’s more. You’ll get an extra dose of wild eyed lunacy, a second helping of batshit crazy and another certified case of dementia! Act now!

[Comfortably_Numb]

55. Throw in a lumpy pillow made of rubber trash and I'll take two!!

[griloco]

37. I'm watching

Columbo

[Skittles]

60. ooh I've been watching that too

[Initech]

70. I'm really glad my TV was screwed into the wall last night.

Otherwise...

[barbtries]

41. m too

for me it was the stream of lies that frustrate me and make me scream at my computer, and i just didn't watch after about 5 minutes at most. but i'm watching Mary Trump's after show and it was apparently a clear win for Kamala, with many favorite moments shared among laughter and glee.

[Voltaire2]

56. Yup 30 and out. I left confident Harris was in control.

[ashredux]

15. Well, I think I'll vote for Trump now.... I don't want anyone stealing and eating my cat. He said he stopped that.

He really, really was looking like a psychotic episode was going on

[lees1975]

18. Yes, that's at the top of our national priorities!

I don't have a cat anymore, but I have my best friend golden retriever.

[llmart]

20. Tee hee.

First it was sharks and batteries. Then marauding hoards of "illegals". And of course, Hannibal Lecter. Now it's migrants eating our household pets!

Egads! What else do we have to worry about?

[NH Ethylene]

46. That one crazy comment threw doubt onto all his other BS,

For anyone who was watching with objectivity.

[Aussie105]

17. Haitians eat you cats and dogs!

And more dribble . . . I could stop the Ukraine and Middle East wars just like that!
Believe me!

And all the time, Kamala kept her cool, and smiled.

Still, everyone knew what Trump is, and now know Kamala can stand the heat - but will any November voters swap sides based on this debate?

[dchill]

21. So does Trump endorser RFKJr!

[barbtries]

42. yes. some will.

think about it. his worshippers maybe not. but people who have convinced themselves that he's a good candidate or will be better on the economy or some other reason (can't bear the thought of voting for a democrat), yes.

will anyone who was previously voting for Kamala change their vote after this debate? nah.

[Picaro]

22. Someone said that he'd meltdown in about 15 minutes...

That someone nailed it.

[lees1975]

33. It was the statement she made about his rally attendance and people leaving exhausted.

That's when his entire facial expression changed, and you could tell he was cooked at that point.

[yonder]

39. That toggled him didn't it?

I was hoping to see more "size" questions like that and for that reason, but she skillfully baited him in other, sometimes subtle ways.

[Blue_Roses]

52. I think it was more like 5 minutes...

hard to tell cause once his craziness started it wouldn't stop

[C_U_L8R]

27. His mental illness is apparent and disturbing.

Clearly, no one in his camp cares enough to seek the care he needs. Not even his own family.

[Skittles]

61. the man listens to NO ONE

hard to blame anyone else for that

[C_U_L8R]

66. True, true

His misfortune is entirely self-made.

[unblock]

28. What was great was she called it out

The facial expressions, the laughter, the hand on the chin, it was all beautiful.

She was having the same reaction America was having.

She let everyone know that it's normal and appropriate to be appalled at his insanity.

[proud patriot]

32. Yup

Dhe was playing Chess he was not

[NH Ethylene]

47. Hers was a near perfect performance.

She was a joy to watch.

[Jack Valentino]

35. GO "insane"?

He's been there already for a long time---

but hopefully, many more of the American people have finally seen it live, tonight.

[Blue Owl]

44. A fat fuck was hoisted up on his own petard for all to see

[TheGreatConspiracy]

48. Concepts of a plan

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[bdamomma]

67. He is not well mentally

Mary Trump on her podcast (Mary Trump Media on You Tube) was thinking of gathering a panel of mental health professionals to discuss the felon.

Hope this gets some feedback.
