The fact is Trump did not win the debate and neither did Kamala Harris and neither did the biased moderators. The whole thing was just a wash. After the debate we are in the very same spot as we were before the debate.
ABC News Is Perplexed: Why Isn’t Kamala Harris Getting a Post-Debate Bounce?
The Answer Is…16 Sep 2024 ~~ By Scott Pinsker
This brings us to the first opinion polls from the Harris-Biden presidential debate: The verdict is in, and Kamala Harris did such a wonderful, splendid performance… she picked up NO new voters.
ABC News, the same network that hosted the debate/train wreck, put a happy spin on its poll results: “Harris seen as debate winner while maintaining slight lead over Trump: POLL” (For the sub-header, you can almost hear the “womp-womp” sad sax music: “Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Harris shows little impact, the poll found.”)
Alas, CNN (believe it or not) pulled back the curtain with a more truthful spin: “New poll finds no change in presidential race post-debate” CNN’s first two sentences let the cat out of the bag: “New polling post-debate from ABC News and Ipson finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Trump among likely voters, with the margin in the race unchanged from ABC News polling conducted in late August. Overall, 52% of likely voters back Harris, 46% Trump in the poll, the same margin the pollsters found among likely voters in an August 23 through 27 poll.” [emphasis added]
So what gives? By all objective accounts, last week’s debate was NOT Trump’s best moment. Why aren’t the American people punishing him more in the polls? Why didn’t Harris shoot ahead by a dozen or so points?
It goes back to proportionality. We have an instinctive impulse for fairness.

Last week’s debate was a three-on-one dumpster fire. The media wants to talk about Kamala eating Trump’s lunch, but the American people are talking about who’s eating cats. Our lasting takeaways were the utter weirdness of it all — and the intrinsic unfairness of a three-on-one debate.
Plus, the obvious implication: The media must’ve helped Kamala that much… because she needed the help. Clearly, she can’t do it on her own.
So, no, we won’t reward her for “winning” a three-on-one fistfight. Kamala Harris wasn’t the plucky heroine who KO’d the class bully; she was the shrieking banshee who stretched out his shirt while the moderators held him down.
And so, nothing was decided. Our journey remains unresolved.
Commentary:
The Democrat Leftist contributors to this board have been touting obscene humbers of Harris over Trump after the September 10th three man tag team debacle against Trump.
The fact is that the Harris campaign even with the Quisling Media's assisstance has had a "Dead Cat Bounce".
Aside from the history of Neo-Marxist ideology and all the previous rhetoric about Fracking, oil production, low taxes, and the law enforcement, Harris decided to reverse course for this election. Everything Kamala Harris was against before she now say's she os for.
Harris at best is an empty pants suit "Red Diaper Baby".
