Presidential Debate Rules: Mikes on Mute, Strict Time Limits, No Audience

[Mark Jeffries]

Pretty much same as last time on CNN when it was Biden v. Trump, ABC's producing it but it will be on all terrestrial networks except The CW (some CW affiliates may carry it), news cable channels and news streamers Tuesday night (unless Trump succeeds to get out of it):

We skipped around to catch follow-up commentary from several sources, and I was surprised when the broadcasters on Fox said they thought Harris won the debate.

I’m not that surprised. I’m sure there are some Fox News folks who insisted Trump won, but there are a significant number who despite their bias have some connection to reality. Ditto MSNBC, where most anchors acknowledged Biden had lost the first debate.

By any criteria Trump got his ass kicked. Whether it changes anyone’s mind remains to be seen, but I doubt it. Trump Voters want an excuse to pretend they believe that immigrants will eat their dogs and democrats will murder babies after they are born. There is nothing stupid or hateful or absurd enough to persuade most of his supporters to change their mind. But maybe Trump’s horrible performance will help a critical mass of unlikely voters to come out for Harris.

I am optimistic that some voters who were slightly leaning Trump were swayed by his more outrageous comments, including eating cats and dogs.
