I didn't realize that preparing is cheating.
"Failure to prepare is preparing for failure." That was validated last night.

"Failure to prepare is preparing for failure." That was validated last night.
Now that I've listened to more of it, it is clear she was very good at not answering questions when she didn't want to and going with these sort of "technically correct but misleading" or just "really needs more context" kind of answers.
Those are the kind that are exceedingly hard to fact check by a moderator without it turning into an argument about interpretation or emphasis.
I don't mind those kinds of answers so much (I don't love them, but a format like this is always going to have those) but I do think the moderators should have been better with follow up questions when she skated away from ever actually answering.
Again you're taking posts out of the context of the thread.
As far as the Twitterati claiming there is an ABC whistleblower coming forward to declare Kamala being fed the questions, I'll just wait for this whistleblower to surface. Unfortunately, fucking around about debate cheating is only believable because it happened in 2016.
Regardless, the questions aren't really all that surprising. The candidates probably have heard them all several times in their debate prep.

The libs did do a massive cutback on temporary foreign workers and international students. Universities say international students are down 45% this year.
Timmies and other corporations have been abusing the new rules for workers as well.
The only housing built lately in Ontario has been micro condos that investors were favouring until interest rates went up.
Housing starts are way down under DoFo even with all the gifts he's been giving them.
DoFo favoured developers who favour luxury housing for profit over starter homes, rentals and family affordable condos and townhouses.
That is why she has not done interviews as she was wisely preparing scripted answers
When Harris debated before 2020 she was not nearly as good
I hate that tatic but it is all part of politics, clearly Trump should of done the same but I suspect he surrounded himself with ass kissers and conspiracy theorists who told him cat eating immigrants was a good one.
Even better than windmills cause cancer .
Or climate change is a Chinese hoax
Or the bullet was deflected by divine intervention (not his exact words)
Or Harris is a Marist commie
Or the white house attackers were infiltrated by the left (he stopped saying that one)
Or all illegals are rapists and drug dealers
Or covid is no worse than the flu (of course he denies saying it)
Or the world respected his strenght when he was in office

The only reasonable response.
Not knowing the basic outlines of questions would be ridiculous.
A journalist might sometimes come at you in an unexpected direction, but one of the whole points of debate prep is to practice the questions you pretty much know you're going to get.
I don't think we can assume that.
Taking over and launching a campaign on short notice is a lot of work and I don't think she's been wrong that communicating directly through social media and speeches was better for getting her message out than indulging the white house press.
Did that necessary launch work include getting her scripted answers ready for obvious legacy media questions?
It's possible.
But I don't think we can simply say it was just that.
She was solid against Pence in 2020.
The Democratic primary debates were different with the multi-person format.
That said, I do think she was better here - this was an impressive performance.
But it was also a performance tailored to fuck up Trump.
I don't know if the strategy of "dangle some bait and let the other guy implode because he can't resist taking it" is one that she ever had before so we don't know if she was capable of it in 2020.
I've been having that conversation with more and more friends lately.
Nobody trusts any sources anymore, and that's messed up.
It's bad politics to delve into something like this without clear, totally substantiated evidence. It's an unnecessary distraction during an election cycle.
All you have to do is note the chaos in Springfield, OH. People there don't seem to be too happy. It might very well be an example of a small City and Mayor that took the bait of federal money to accept refugees.
I want to say that this is because he is a 78 year old man. However, I think this is always who he was and he can't let inconsequential criticism roll off his back.
He lost, but I found he was energetic, at times his rebuttals were well constructed and his closing statement was strong. (So was Kamala's.)
Even her walking over and forcing Trump into a handshake was thought out
Her laughing at Trump during split screen and her bemused look was totally rehearsed
Now that I think of it, were her ear rings thought out? She gave the Trump the excuse to say they were ear plugs telling her the answer and that may be what they wanted.
Give Trump more excuses to say stupid stuff as they realize the public are sick of it
He has always been this way a bit.
But I think he did have more self control before.
Another aspect of this might be that he's been in political debates for 9 years now.
There is a lot of game film, as it were.
That he was baitable has become obvious and I also think people have learned more and more what bait he can't resist.
So his self-control goes down and the lures get shinier until you get what happened on Tuesday.
The guy has two ex-wives. He should be used to this.

Mitchy Mitchy Mitchy, my rubber vomit suit sales have slowed down. I assume most have you on ignore and others just scroll past your shmearvomit. This is not good, it's affecting my hooker budget!
Steve Jobs saw it early in the early 2000. He wanted to cut deal with media as he saw the proliferation of blogs. And how unreliable and false majority were.
It did not work. Facebook took over. Twitter, google. Then many others.
Look at all AI generated post made falsely about Taylor Swift Trumpers… This is scary as no truth will exist anymore.
We are entering an era we’re stupidity will rule and whoever talks loudest will win.
Exactly. Harris's amused facial expressions and her hand under her chin at the same time while Trump was speaking were reminders of how my exe's often used to react when I was stating my side of a heated "discussion"...
Standard entitled female tactics...
