Trump got "angrier, smaller, and more irrelevant." BRILLIANT way to put it. The worst nightmare of every politician is irrelevance. Well put Coach!

I must commend Vice President Kamala Harris for her exceptional handling of this extreme, radical, narcissistic, and divisive individual. She confronted him with facts as he evaded every question he was asked to answer. She was outstanding and stood her ground. As he dodged the issues, he continued to spread lies, propaganda, and unsubstantiated claims, repeatedly blaming immigrants for unfounded and baseless conspiracy theories.

Donald Trump's Orban flex was pathetic. He must live in his own bubble.

I'll admit it, I wasn't fully in the tank for Tim Waltz, but he's come out like a underdog fighter and earnt my respect the hard way.
Tim, you're the I'm all in.
Vote blue up and down the ticket.

Kamala is a class act and she did so well in the debate, she is smart, articulate and positive. Vote 💙💙💙

If Trump was just a guy angrily rambling this incoherently nonsense at a bar, people would be moving away from him to the other side of the room.

As a retired teacher I would like to express my feelings about Walz. He is a genuine guy and as people before me have said he would cut your lawn if you were sick. VOTE blue for KAMALA and Tim and democracy.🔵

This is an EXCELLENT interview and conversation between Rachel Maddow and Tim Walz. He is increasingly an asset to the Democrat’s campaign. His public school teacher skillsets of public speaking in an articulate clear way for limited attention people combines with his sincere enthusiasm for the well being of others. This is what is so attractive to me. I can also use his unique talking points when I speak to my friends and family. Thank you for excellent media work.

She was powerful, and just, and creative. He lost his power tonight.

Canada was watching the slaughter, cheering for you and so proud of the progress you're making, It's up to you USA to do the rest. She had him from the handshake! I live 5 minutes from the north border and care deeply. Fight on!
