Please join me in the Comments section below and share your thoughts on and reactions to the Harris-Trump debate on Tuesday, September 20, 2024 at 6 PM Pacific Time.
I’ll say a few words here, the day before the debate. And then, with interested readers, I’ll post further thoughts and observations in the Comments section below – before, during, and after the debate.
It’s going to be interesting. Not to mention consequential. Let’s talk!

Here’s some great advice for Kamala:
How Harris Should Handle Trump’s Lying in the Debate
Nikita says
Can’t wait! 🤗
Fel Jones says
OK! 30-minute countdown!
Meghan says
Nervous!
Todd says
Let’s do this!!! Go Kamala!! ✊
Nikita says
Not the best start.. But I think she’s getting better, maybe less nervous 🤔
Meghan says
Agree. She seemed nervous at first, but she seems to have found her footing. Great responses on abortion.
Fel Jones says
Hope she, or a moderator, directly refutes his lie about who pays for tariffs.
Nikita says
They’re eating dogs and cats! 😂 🐱 🐶
Fel Jones says
I sense a new campaign slogan coming: “Elect Trump-Vance and Stop Immigrants from Eating Your Pets!”
Meghan says
lololololol
Fel Jones says
Gotta feeling there’s gonna be a whole new level of fact-checking after this debate.
Nikita says
What’s wrong with using desert land for solar energy? 🤨 Does he have better plans for it?
Fel Jones says
So much for the calm, composed Donald Trump.
Fel Jones says
OK, I’m calling it. Trump is blowing up as so many predicted he would. And what I really look forward to is the post-debate commentary and fact-checking. The issues and his lies about them are in sharper focus than they’ve ever been.
Meghan says
She knows what she is doing. Getting under his skin big time! You got fired by 81 million people. lololololol. YES!
Fel Jones says
Yes, that was brilliant. Gotta feeling the fireworks are just getting started.
Fel Jones says
Halftime! Man, hard to imagine what’s coming… but I wouldn’t give a
high probability to Trump getting his bearings back.
Nikita says
Second half here we go! 🤓
Todd says
I would love to see a AI real time fact checker on the screen during debate. That would be golden.
Fel Jones says
Interesting idea… though I’m not sure AI is up to the task. Makes a lot of mistakes. But I love the idea.
Nikita says
Oo yes!
Meghan says
“Putin would eat you for lunch!” omg, yes.
Fel Jones says
Just struck me how different this debate would be going if it were Joe up there instead of Kamala. I mean, I love Biden, best president of my lifetime, as I’ve often said. But man, what a difference.
Nikita says
Her response to the race comment was incredible! 🥹
Fel Jones says
Josh Marshall:
“It’s like a dying brain cycling back through the past before the end.”
Fel Jones says
It’s a wrap. Now for the talking heads! Feel free to keep commenting here as we watch ’em do their pundit thing. 🙂
Nikita says
Well that was kind of epic!
Nikita says
My favorite: “I have a *concept* of a plan. I’m not President yet!” 🤣
Meghan says
Hilarious!
Fel Jones says
Yeah, that was a beaut.
Nikita says
Here comes the Taylor Swift bump
Fel Jones says
Way to go, Taylor!
Taylor Swift
Childless Cat Lady
🙂
Todd says
Still floored that Trump doubled down on his Central Park 5 ad. Then again, I’m not surprised. What a debate.
Fel Jones says
He did? Damn, missed it. Saw that she brought it up. I’ll have watch it again.
Fel Jones says
OK, just found the replay, and yep, he sure did double down. Amazing.
