Finished watching, 90 minutes plus ad breaks, on America abc, via CNN. At Pittsburgh. Capital of a key swing state.
My overall impression, as an anti-Kamala person, more than a pro-Trumper:
Trump did a pretty bad job. Kamala did a pretty good job. Trump below expectations/hopes. Kamala beyond expectations/ fears.
Too often Trump got angry or went down rabbit holes. Was trolled into reacting angry, like on the claim than people leave his rallies early. He should never have gone down the rabbit hole of “illegals are catching and eating our dogs”.
CNN panels are “exuberant”. Conservative panels are coping. With “the moderators were biased”. Which they were. But still. A better debater could have handled it. But for the Right how it”s just: Cope. Cope. Cope. Cope.
IOW: huge disappointment on the Right at Trump's bad performance, and at Kamala pretty good performance.
And making the good point that it was 3 vs 1, not one-on-one.
Because the two moderators were so obviously biased against Trump and pro Kamala. This may become a thing I t he internet age of debate watching. Where ,ost people view it through memes, and the Rep memes can show the bias.
And now we learn that the Kamala Kamp wants another debate! Reps are saying it must be on a non-Dem leaning place since the first two have been on CNN and abc. A place like Fox. And either without moderators at all or with 3 mods: one chosen by each side and a third chosen by those two. Which seems fairer than what happened in Pittsburgh.
