I felt like she acquitted herself well. Trump landed a few points, but her message was strong. She also did a very good job of goading Trump. Every time she stuck something in that wounded his pride irrelevantly, he responded to that instead of the issue.

I thought the alternate slates were already sent and that was how they were able to generate the crisis about certification. Congress cannot just ASK for some choices.

CNN is saying this debate is for all the marbles. But usually the result of a debate is that both sides are impressed by their candidate and say they won. It will be unusual if she just LOSES.

So someone asked Vance the same question about childcare. “Such an important question, Charlie, and I think one of the things that we can do is make it easier for families to choose whatever model they want, right? So one of the ways that you might be able to relieve a little bit of pressure on...

It is probably really difficult waiting for someone to ask.

That was my point. But it is effective in argument to concede what you can make sound like an important detail while you slide everything else off the table. It makes you sound like you are being honest and realistic.

Why the heck not?

There is a meme probably from Russia going around Facebook that quotes Kevin Sorbo saying something like (and apparently it has been debunked that he said it or no source can be found anyway) "If your hatred for one man is greater than your love for you country, that's a real problem". It is...

Really? I haven't been confident that he knew he lost. I know some insider said that he acknowledged it privately in December 2020, but it might have been in a weak moment and later he was publicly confident that he didn't. I'm not sure. As I said the other day, when someone is a moron and a...

Yeah, I'd say that is evidence that he knows the truth and accidentally said it out loud.

I hadn't heard that Trump admitted that.

I think it is. They're saying "Yes, Trump has a personality problem, but Harris has a world-destroying policy problem and I can't fear his problem worse than hers".

There is no prize for the popular vote. It is much easier to measure, but ultimately a waste of time.

I wonder if Trump believes that Biden and the Justice Department are behind all of his legal stuff. I don't have enough access to gauge whether he is doing political calculus in his head or whether he really thinks that is the simplest explanation. When someone is a fool and a liar, it can be...

I think they especially didn't want to interact with the camera.

Oh, I get it. So she probably felt like he was being insensitive. One of THOSE guys.

Restricted air space and restricted cemeteries are talking about regular people. Not extraordinary people like them. I'm not really sure what we're looking at there. If she didn't want to shake his hand, she could've kept it in her pocket. She doesn't look like a demographic that would...

I don't know whether the Cheneys will impact the election, because I'm not sure how much this is cart and how much it is horse, but I am heartened that either Deep GOP (and Dick Cheney is deep, deep) are trying to steer the party back from Trumpism or they believe there is about to be a power...

I am surprised by the question, particularly aimed at a Republican. Few balk at the idea of having a plan to make medicine or gasoline or housing more affordable, because it seems like fantastic piles of money are being made in those industries, but ain't nobody getting rich off of child care...

He said that the government is going to have so much money from taxing foreign nations that they are going to pay for child care for people who are not able to tax foreign nations, right? No. His answer is clear enough and perfectly Trumpian. The answer is "Who care about child care?"
