and Kamala had Trump for lunch!
There’s usually one big takeaway from every debate, especially at the Presidential level. From Tuesday nights must-watch TV, Blaska’s lasting impression was this: Donald Trump’s scowling face. One look the whole two hours. Reminded the groundlings splayed out on the carpet in front of the b&w Philco of Big Brother from the Orwell book.
Maybe the nation is going down the tubes (dare we say it?) like you’ve never seen before.” Maybe we are a failing nation; seriously in decline, being laughed at. In which case, scowling is almost patriotic. Where is a flag we can hug?
Yes, blame the ABC moderators for fact checking Trump, not once but twice. It’s not their place. But they asked tough question of both. They asked Kamala Harris about her flip flops, she covered up. (Get ready for boxing metaphors.)
ABC asked Kamala if she bears any responsibility for Afghanistan. She tried to turn it around on Trump (unsuccessfully in our opinion.) ABC asked if Kamala supported any restrictions on abortion whatsoever, but she never answered. ABC pointed out that no state allows post-birth abortion; but that isn’t what Trump said. Kamala would allow it to the moment of delivery.
Kamala Harris took it to Trump where it hurt when she jibed that people “leave your rallies early out of boredom.” (We know many Trump supporters who went to bed somewhere in the midst of the man’s convention peroration.)
If Trump were president, the Democrat alleged, “Putin would be sitting in Kiev right now. … Dictators would eat you for lunch. … Military leaders laugh at you.”
So who does Trump name check as a supporter? Hungary’s authoritarian Viktor Orban! Which is not to say that the 45th President didn’t get in some of his own haymakers.
“She hates Israel; she wouldn’t meet with Netanyahu because she went to a sorority party.” (Actually, spoke to a convention of her college sorority, but he landed the punch.) But what is this business about illegal immigrants eating our cats and dogs? It may have happened. Someone is going to cite a NewsNation report as proof. But what a fool to go down that rabbit hole!
The wonderful New York Post this morning (we’re on Long Island today) headlines “KAMBUSH!”
Donald Trump wasn’t just debating Kamala Harris last night; he also had to battle ABC News … who never fact-checked her but repeatedly interrupted him and asked him tougher questions.
Folks, if you’re blaming the referees, you lost and deservedly.
Like French generals, Trump keeps losing the last election. This is getting tiresome; “Our elections are bad. There’s so much proof; all you have to look at it.” As for the 60 or so court decisions he lost: “They said we didn’t have standing; I’ll show you Georgia, and Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.” Independents will show him the door.
In addition to dictator Orban, who else did Trump name check? Proud Boy martyr Ashli Babbitt, the window-smashing woman at the spearhead of the January 6 insurrectionists who were chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” Honest to Gawd! Trump pointedly refused to condemn the seditionists. That’s one way to lose your country. We can survive expensive gasoline but not losing the Constitution.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: We acknowledge that one can win a debate but deserve to lose the election. Trump managed to both last night. Say this for Trump, he kept faith with MAGA nation but he did nothing to win over the one-half of one percent who will decide this election.

Ann Coulter (the poor man’s Megyn Kelly), and no MAGA she:
“Trump is Trump, a known quantity. His scattershot delivery isn’t going to shock anyone. If you already detest the man, your view was confirmed. But if you don’t hate him, Trump put a lot of points on the board, while HARRIS SAID NOTHING, AND SAID IT SMUGLY.
“The debate sure DIDN’T GIVE UNDECIDED VOTERS WHAT THEY WANTED FROM HARRIS, As has been widely reported, they are waiting breathlessly for some hint of what she believes and what she would do as president. After the ABC debate, they’re still waiting. About all they learned is that Harris comes from a middle-class family…
But THEY KNOW THAT LIFE WAS BETTER UNDER TRUMP. And they know that HARRIS, LIKE CLINTON, IS A NASTY WOMAN.
Mercy me! That’s gonna leave a mark!

Besides looking like Jeff Dunham’s Walter during the debate, now the claim is that Harris wore audio transmitter earrings. I think one of the problems was Matt Gaetz helping to prep Trump. We all know he’s an idiot.
Snubbing Netanyahu isn’t the first time Harris has been derelict in her duty so she could foment political theater. Another was when she was on the Senate Judiciary Committee and couldn’t be bothered to show up for Justice Coney Barrett’s confirmation vote. (None of the other Democrats did either.) Yet she expects the rest of us to show up and vote for her. That’s off-the-charts arrogance.
