It wasn't a masterclass. It was functional. What she did masterfully was bait Mangolini into showing how incoherent he really is.

I think it will, but people won't think it did. Harris was dropping slightly in the polls, Polymarket odds were up to 52/46 Trump. The betting markets being the most responsive item to check, it's currently 50/49 Trump, back to tied. I think polls will look similar, back to essentially tied, but that's where things were a couple weeks ago so it might just erase the mini slump from everyone's mind.
it's so funny how for weeks everyone telegraphed "she's gonna bait him" and her team was like "we're gonna bait him" and he managed to act normal for like 3 minutes and then she said one thing about his rallies and it was like feeding a gremlin after midnight
Look, I know this is a late response and all but this is serious: it's feeding a mogwai after midnight that turns it into a gremlin. Gremlin feeding times have no impact on their behavior.
There's enough fake news and disinformation in the world. You are doing all of us a great service. o7
Nope.
Trump fans don't care.
Harris fans saw confirmation.
Disinterested voters didn't watch.

It was a highly entertaining debate. Plenty of folks who dislike them both showed up with big bowls of popcorn to root for injuries. And Trump was true to form, just stepping into rake after rake for the full 90 minutes.
I came to count how many times Trump says "millions and millions"
Thing is Trump made his most ridiculous statements highly memeable.
"They're eating the dogs!" is gonna live on like "They're turning the fricken frogs gay!"
That might draw enough of the disinterested crowd to figure out what happened that night.
...and a news media that desperately needs a horse race for clicks will continue to hold Harris to a higher standard than the orange Mr. Magoo.
A convicted rapist literally claimed that you’re allowed to murder babies - then we put them side by side and double check if Harris said something that was slightly exaggerated. What’s so weird about it?

People not voting for Harris because of Gaza need to avoid watching the debate, otherwise they’ll change their minds. No matter how bad things are, they can get worse.

It will change a lot.
This will dramatically increase the number of Republicans who will tell everyone they're not voting for him, and then vote for him.
