Calling it now: Harris taking Trump apart as he rants and raves incoherently is the liberal dream - every Sorkin fantasy come to life. People will be devastated when this doesn’t end the race and it’s still neck and neck next week.

65

come on now, anyone who thinks one debate will "end the race" is not a serious person

From childless cat ladies to Haitian immigrants eating cats. Been quite a campaign cycle.

What no way. Everybody now knows the polls are fucked and the mainstream media desperately tries to keep the horse race going

It's one of those things -- losing a debate can really hurt a Dem candidate, but winning one doesn't help much.

It won't end the race because it isn't November yet. C'mon. Give it two weeks to see some actual movement.

Calling it now: A lot of us can take pleasure in the beatdown but have no expectation that the race will be over or that the coverage will reflect the lopsidedness of the debate. I think the Trump presidency ended faith in Sorkin-style narratives — which were always a fantasy, anyway.

It's great to see this bully get his arse handed to him by not one but two successful & influential women. And if you think that women can't see Harris standing firm on reproducttive rights and are cheering her on for their daughters & grandaughters, you're just not listening.

Yes, because Americans are too dumb for democracy.

This really feels like a “let people enjoy things” moment, man.
