only reason this debate is happening because republicans fixed the electoral college in relatively low population states. Trump is a clown and republicans are embarrassing for letting him represent them

I ventured over to Twitter to see what Trumpers are mad about...

They're mad the moderators keep fact checking Trump but not fact checking Harris. 🤣

She is fucking him up. But his followers will never see it.

Kapow! Harris landed a good one. She knew where to hit him: his fragile ego about crowd sizes.

I don't think it really hit me how badly our country was doing until I heard Linsey Davis say, "There is no state in our country where it's legal to kill a baby."

He said no one died on January 6th except for Babbit. Guess he's anti police.

lol “He’s having a hard time processing that”

When I heard Kamala Harris had been speaking to Hillary Clinton, I cringed, because Clinton lost. However, it sounds like what she was looking for from Clinton was what to expect from Trump, which is reasonable to ask Clinton about.

Oh, he's pissed now... and she's leading him around by the nose.

Holy shit. Kamala is killing it. She’s inspiring at this point.

Please please explain tariffs to this man!

That was nice Billy Madison moment when the moderator reminded Trump he didn't answer the question.

What's the over/under that Trump drops a hard-R?

Trump lying about how much money his father gave him. Just straight up lying.

"I know Putin really well"

These moderators are so much better. Holy shit.

‘I’m talking now’ after he’s interrupted her like a dozen times.

How long before someone uploads a game called Spheres of Terra to Steam?

Trump looks like complete shit.

Republicans nerfed Obamacare, you bollard. You KNOW this is a lie. Jeebus.

My god Trump is utterly deranged. There are millions of people that are still going to vote for him. If he actually wins, we deserve what's coming for allowing ourselves to be so bloody stupefied. It's unreal. Kamala carried herself like a leader.

"this is why we need a president who is not consistently weak and wrong" 😆

Okay. Fuck abc for unmuting him whenever he talks but holy shit the female moderator is doing her job. Fact checking and follow up questions.

Spheres of terra.

Yeah, fuck private insurance. Pay for the privilege of paying for medical care.

What the fuck is he talking about Russia when taking about Israel-hamas?

“They can manipulate you with flattery and favors.” That’s an intelligence assessment IIRC.

They're letting Trump get away with murder here. I expected nothing but am still disappointed. He's basically running with a hot mic while Kamala has to wait for her turn. Unbelievable.

Unsurprisingly he's also bulldozing the hosts in typical fashion. They at least seem to occasionally try some pushback against him, but they seem woefully incapable of actually controlling him.

How can anyone vote for this guy? He's a glorified nut and liar.

He just threatened nukes for Russia. What a fucking stooge.

Still has no idea what NATO dues are for and how they work, and still wants to be running against Biden.

ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION DIRECTLY BRUV

Morning after thoughts:

• The memes from this one are already amazing. "Concepts of a plan" is going to haunt Trump until his dying day.
• Trump usually dominates any conversation he's in, simply by being the loudest one there. It often works for him. Last night, it worked against him, because he was loud about what Harris wanted him to be loud about.
• In retrospect, the level of optimism Harris was able to maintain throughout was very impressive. She looked happy to be there, even when confronted by Trump's obvious mental illness, and I don't think she was faking it.

I'm starting to have genuine hope for November.

Sweet lord The Daily Show writing room must be absolutely overjoyed they have so much Trump material.

Aww. Grumpy trumpy just wants putin to be happier.

And Taylor Swift just endorsed Kamala Harris.

Oh no. He’s gone full nutjob…

She's laughing at him, amazing.

Nice, she answered for Trump.
