A good handshake
The first time Harris and Trump met in person was when they took the stage in Philadelphia. After all, Trump did not attend Biden’s inauguration. The vice president was the first to set the note by stepping over the six feet between her stage and Trump’s and extending her hand in greeting.
After giving her introduction, she said, “Let’s have a good debate.” Trump responded that it was nice to see her, and the confrontation began. This was the first handshake in a presidential debate since Trump and Hillary Clinton shared the stage in 2016.
Even though Harris and Trump shared a few awkward moments during the debate’s commercial break, we can’t deny the entire conversation was heated. Did you watch the debate? What did you think of it?
Don’t forget to do your research, think about your values and how you’d like America to be, and vote wisely. Speaking of that, if you want to understand politics better, here’s a good book for you.

The debate, imho, was a 3 against 1 debate. The moderators favored VP Harris. They didn’t ask follow-up questions to VP Harris but had plenty for Trump. No fact checking for Harris but plenty for Trump. ABC is a liberal network with leftist leanings and it showed with the poor conduct of the moderators.
Maybe because they know Trump couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it.
I am still voting for K. Harris
LOL!! 🤣
Three-on-one?!
The moderators were FORCED to jump in — ever-so-briefly — to counter the convicted felon’s
most egregious lies: “They’re eating the dawgs; they’re eating the cats; they’re eating the pets of the people that live there!” A blatant, stupendously asinine lie, as attested to by the lovely & talented Mr. Maybelline himself, Shady Vance! “They’re ‘executing’ the babies after birth!…” Were the moderators supposed to NOT correct that bullshit?! They didn’t NEED to fact-check our VP, since she never made the kind of destructive, vicious and slanderous falsehoods asserted by Dick a L’Orange!! Time and again, Kamala baited the hook, and stood back and watched as your “hero” bit the hook, and melted down, over and over and over again!! He totally blew it, knows he blew it, and predictably altered reality, lying TO HIMSELF that he won, “By a LOT!” He’s every bit the doddering, confused and easily malleable moron he CLAIMS Biden is!! He still speaks of Biden very much as though he were still running a.gainst him!! I can’t wait till his pre-election sentencing in court on his 34 felony convictions! With his bragging that he single-handedly overturned Roe, he has written his political obituary! But don’t despair — he’ll probably welcome you to his prison cell for conjugal visits….🧐⚖ 😀👍💯
When a known liar speaks, everything that person says has to be checked.
Trump lost BIG TIME! Sorry Donnie.
Ms. Harris is evil and no good for our country. I’m all for a woman for president but, not Ms. Harris. I don’t believe former President Trump was weak, just be wilted over his opponent.
Harris is a complete liar and a failure, She got ahead in politics by sleeping her way to positions of which she was not qualified for She continues to be a total liar
The debate was so one-sided ABC and Disney disgraced themselves. It was three against one. The two moderators were clearly working for Harris.
Your wonder why she did better and seemed more prepared with better answers?? BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY TOOK NOTES, AND WAS PREPARED! TRUMP IS A FUCKING MORON, THAT NEVER ANSWERED A SINGLE FUCKING QUESTION! JUST BULLSHIT THE ENTIRE TIME! HE DIDN’T ANSWER A SINGLE QUESTION!!!
Kamala Harris will lead the people FORWARD
Into communism.
All I can say is that ABC should be ashamed of themselves. They conducted such a biased debate against Trump — as is this article. They continually fact checked him — and often wrongly — and never fact checked Harris, even though she told as many false hoods as Trump did. It was a disgrace of a debate. Did I enjoy this article? — Certainly not. It was just as biased toward Harris as the debate was. Too bad the media can’t treat both sides the same and just report the facts, and not opinion.
Something is very wrong in America that a man like Trump could get any where close to the oval office much less a second time. As citizens in a Democracy we better take a long hard look at ourselves.
Yes. I agreed with Ms Harris that Mr Trump is a weak politician. As a former president I expected him to perform better than he did in the debates. He virtually didn’t respond to most of the questions/ topics being asked. Instead he is always digressing from the questions asked to justify his actions.
