Last night, President Trump debated two ABC moderators. One of the many post-debate stories in the New York Times was superciliously headlined, “ABC’s Matter-of-Fact Moderators Built Factual Guardrails Around Trump.”
Here’s a 100% accurate recreation of how the debate pretty much went
TRUMP: “…and on the day they shot me, the sky was blue.”
DAVID MUIR: “Mr. Trump, excuse me, ABC contacted climate scientists who said the sky is black. Colors are just artifacts of light bending through the atmosphere.”
LINSEY DAVIS: “Plus clouds are white. And the Sun is yellow.”
MUIR: “And, FBI Director Wray said investigators were unable to determine whether it was a bullet, so it is inaccurate to conclude you were shot.”
DAVIS: “You know you faked it.”
And so it went, around and around, President Trump verbally sparring with ABC’s frenetic, over-caffeinated fact-checkers. Meanwhile, candidate and face actress Kamala Harris practiced looking like a mime being tortured to death with a dull potato peeler.
Kamala also said some totally forgettable stuff, not one sentence making a headline or going viral, for two reasons. First, the patently partisan moderators failed to ask Harris anything that anybody would want to know, like why she flip-flopped about some of the race’s most important issues. Even the New York Times was forced to admit the laughing candidate got lame questions and zero fact-checking that produced a boring slog:
Second, despite getting nothing but squishy softballs, rambling Kamala still could not answer the questions. It went kind of like this:
MUIR: “Vice President Harris, this year you took bold action that resulted in significant reductions in border crossings. Why didn’t you act on the border sooner?”
HARRIS: “You should ask Trump! He said the Ku Klux Klan were very fine people. And he said he would call for a bloodbath if he loses the election. That’s a fact. I’m not joking.”
MUIR: “Thank you, Vice President Harris, that cleared things up. President Trump, to Ms. Harris’s point, when did you start loving Adolph Hitler?”
Trump got the ‘best zinger’ award when the first time Kamala interrupted him, he snipped, “Wait a minute. I’m talking now, if you don’t mind, please. Does that sound familiar?” In the debate’s second-best moment, Trump flat called Harris a marxist — one of the few things he said last night that David and Linsey did not fact-check.
Finally, according to reports, President Trump stayed after the debate answering reporters’ questions for an hour. Cowardly Kamala fled, refusing to answer any question she hadn’t rehearsed. Fake faces, fake answers, fake performance.
The bottom line? With a boost from ABC, Kamala won the debate overall by a nose, by not imploding. Trump won every other way. This morning, Polymarket’s betting site shows the candidates back even, 49% to 49%.
But given the event’s insubstantial nature, it feels more like a media-fueled bump than any kind of shift.
