Harris may have been light on policy, but she was able to bait an ‘unhinged’ Trump into a number of traps

She could at least answer most of the questions in a reasonably direct way.

But it does make my eyes roll when it’s a yes or no question and people ramble. Just say yes or no and then ramble.

She answered coherently but rarely in a direct way. I heard 3 numbers and 0 policy positions other than Roe V Wade

I did miss the first 30 min so

Trump didn't answer anything and just attacked which is fucking pathetic

She made firm statements on a number of topics. None as firm as RvW, lol. She really came down hard on that one. I would like to see more of that.

I would not say that I am thrilled with her as a candidate, but at least now I don’t feel like I’m throwing my vote away just to keep Trump out of office. I’m sure she will be a fine president, and since she has the support of so many Republicans at this point I think she has more of a chance at that “bipartisan” thing everyone keeps yapping about.

She discussed policies around giving new families aid to offset the costs of child rearing, small business tax breaks that are reasonable and expanding the housing stock. Her policy goals on those matters are on her site tho.

You're expecting the wrong thing if you are watching a debate with trump involved and think you're going to hear policy. That's not what debate are for.

Just because Trump is involved doesn't mean it is no longer a debate.

The factyou think this is the reason your country is FUCKED
