Joy: ‘Kamala Harris has to nail’ debate to ‘put Trumpism into the dustbin of history’

Donald Trump has threatened lawyers, donors and election officials with prison for "unscrupulous behavior" in the wake of the 2024 presidential election, if he wins. The stakes could not be higher ahead of the presidential debate between VP Kamala Harris and Trump on Tuesday.

"And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that since her handle was made of wood, she was one of them."

Harris only needs to open with " Donald thank you for posting bail to be here tonight."

[Kat-kugj]

Yes she does need to nail it. And she will.

[petermiller]

Her head was going up and down like a piston in a engine

[drmusic]

It boggles my mind that some rich bozo who used to appear on shows like "Entertainment Tonight" and "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" during the 1980's ends up being a threat to not only the US but the rest of the world as well.

LOL she couldn’t even nail the CNN interview in which she was given multiple choice questions

Its crazy how people say the don't want dictatorship, but no one voted for Harris, she was appointed. Id be mad if my primary vote was for nothing. Id be mad if my team did not allow fair elections ask (Bernie Sanders, RFK). Think of the people aligning with Harris, Chaney, Putin, Bush... No one can say the last 3 years have been amazing, yet we think keeping the same people will make it better?

[dcorman]

I have money on whether she uses her new accents tonight! Wish me luck!

[luckyotter]

It's so depressing. I hate this timeline.

[studydude]

I am with you, I am a white male in Idaho, deep red state, and cannot talk or sway anyone into thinking of voting for democracy. If I even attempt to sway, I am shunned and dismissed. I feel frustrated and want to make a difference.

Sounds like voting system is too complicated and not fair. Time to change it

[deniseeugene]

I think Harris knows what’s at stake. I think once she walks out there and looks Trump in the eye she will be that Kamala Harris For The People. Shake off the nerves and get to it.

He needs to be arrested after the debate.

There's a lot about the "truth" of Republican politics; here are some others you don't hear often on MSNBC. It's easier calling small towns and rural communities names than it is to understand their issues against candidates you like or policies you support. It's also easier to call for wide sweeping systemic change than it is to engage people you disagree with because with wide sweeping change, there's no expectation on you to actually do anything except celebrate when your side wins.

Good luck to Harris. May she prove to be the adult in the debate room and show the US that she is the good candidate.

[pacificblue]

do people forget that kacklemala consistently throughout her time as vp ranked as one of the most disliked vp in American history with an approval rating of 28%? she was an epic failure as vp. she did nothing and accomplished nothing. she is hoping that we will forget how absolutely horrible she was as vp.

[TylerKillingsworth]

Nobody wants to hear the laughing Hyena.

[lhhmkby]

She needs to convince the undecided. I can't believe there are folks in that category 😳

[usrname]

Its about time we have a Madam President! 🔵

[Jcanos]

I hope she doesn't shake his slimy little hand.
