Not really.Trump has to find something else other than immigration to talk about because it was novel in 2016, repetitive and redundant in 2024. IMHO.
People can argue he won the one earlier this year.Trump has never won a debate
LOL!
she didnt really answer any of the softball questions they were lobbing in.I didn't think the debate was the blowout it has been portrayed. I still give Harris the W, but not the 10-5 or 10-6 (boxing 10 point must system), more 10-9 at best 10-8. Yes, Trump did firehose his lies about his economy but the fact Harris didn't respond I think was rather effective by Trump to folks who are too busy to dig up stats.
I think how she started out not answering the first question and went right into her campaign speech bugged me too.
She let a lot of things go. And Trump powered through the moderators on more than one occasion thus getting the final word much more than 50% of the time (I could be wrong, it felt that way). He did get 5 more minutes of speaking time. However, she gutted him on abortion and the crowd size thing made him look pathetic.
However, overall she accomplished goal #1 is she has a strong presence, gave the impression she was in charge, without coming across as a whinger. Thus more people now can envision her in charge. But IMHO it was not a blowout.
The economy isn't everything and it can be recovered. The American conservative movement is culturally deteriorating and is being taken down a dangerous slippery slope, which is more serious. IMHO.I don't know your handle.
You should dig into Canada's structural economic stagnation for the last two decades. You're falling behind the industrialized West while most of your population lives 100 miles from an economic engine to the South. Something's up and it ain't your economy.
Like I have said before, the economy pays for all the nice "social" things people seem to want the government to provide.
He never actually talks about immigration. He instead dog whistles by saying millions are violently taking over cities and eating pets, which while in 2016 could have created a huge stir, in 2024, doesn't invoke the same reaction. So I am afraid this strategy isn't really working for him like it used to anymore.Not really.
Immigration is almost always an issue Americans rank highly and I think the US is currently in one of its more anti-immigration phases.
Now, you can say that he's bad at talking about immigration because he rambles and repeats himself and is even more openly racist than the population is willing to accept, sure.
And making immigration the only thing he will talk about probably doesn't help him.
But it would be political malpractice on his part to not make it a somewhat important part of his campaign.
As many of Mitch's posts show, fact checking is considered inappropriate and wrong by these people.Her turf? Trump got 6 minutes more talking time ( but of course he just filled it with repeating the same dire warnings about the evil migrants .
I didn't watch it, but have heard a few different things about this.Why did they allow his mic back on when he continually rebutted her comments, but she never got the same chance to answer his lies? The moderators were weak and allowed Trump to babble on and on, but that only showed him to be a babbling fool, jumping from topic to topic.
Racism.Trump, as usual, looked horrible from what i saw. What’s with the dog and cat eating?
These will be considered Canada's lost years and it's unlikely they will be recovered. You're not the only member who believes you can just turn the economy on when you think you're ready. I presume some type of direct govt. action would be the chosen remedy. From what I've been reading, the Canadian govt. already controls a lot of the country's spending.The economy isn't everything and it can be recovered. The American conservative movement is culturally deteriorating and is being taken down a dangerous slippery slope, which is more serious. IMHO.
