More Takeaways on the Trump – Harris Debate -

 

Facing Off Against Three - The American Spectator

"When elected, Trump knew what he wanted to do and he tried to do it. After the debate, what Harris would do remains a mystery." 

"The debate over the debate is just getting started. Here are a few takes on the ABC News debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
ABC Lost
"Everyone knew the ABC News debate would be one-sided. Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis did nothing to push back against that low-bar expectation as they joined Harris to make the debate a three-against-one affair.
"Harris did not respond to Muir’s opening question — are Americans better off than they were four years ago? Rather than answer, Harris led with her standard talking point about growing up as a “middle-class kid.” The moderators’ failure to call her on her non-answer set the stage.
"I don’t know what ABC brass were thinking, but I know what they weren’t thinking: How could the network make the debate look even-handed?
"One more thing: Trump should have expected as much and brought his A game.
Harris Not Asked About Joe?
"Two journalists had a chance to ask Harris about President Joe Biden’s mental capacity after his dismal performance during a June 27 debate with Trump, which ultimately led Biden to end his reelection bid.
"Biden has blamed a cold, over-preparation, and jet lag from an international trip two weeks earlier for his poor performance during that face-off with Trump. ABC should have asked:
"Does she agree?
"Harris regularly lunches with the president, whom Special Counsel Robert Hur had referred to as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
"Americans have a right to know if the man who will sit in the Oval Office until Jan. 20 is up to the job now.
"The failure to press Harris on Biden’s mental capacity was nothing short of journalistic malpractice.
