> Trump made a small mistake and said "West Virginia" instead of "Virginia."
> Kamala had the opportunity to correct him, but she's too dumb, and didn't.

Regardless of which Virginia it was, without the proper context (sort of
like Trump's "good people" on both sides comment), it is a misquote. That the
governor of Virginia was advocating killing live birth babies had been
debunked repeatedly.

Was the governor stupid to talk about non-viable births during a discussion
about abortion?  Probably.

> Kamala was asked "Is the country better now than it was 4 years ago?" Her
> response was "We have record-high inflation," which equates to "No."

Yeah she didn't answer that one.  She also sidestepped the question about
why, if the Trump tarrifs are bad, has the current administration not
rescended them.  She also never answered, yes/no, the question of whether or
not she's ever met Putin.

> Kamala used projection by saying that "Trump divides people by race," because
> that is absolutely 100% what Democrats, including herself, do every day.

Whatever Trump quote they were asking about, Trump should have kept his
mouth shut and never mentioned which race she claims to be.  That was
another example of him not knowing when to shut up and it came back to bite
him.

> Trump prevailed in the debate. He proved what a liar Kamala ia and he did it
> effortlessly. When you're chosen by God to do a task, you prevail.

You must have watched a different debate.  Both of them dodged questions,
although I give Kamala a slight edge as best dodger here, and Trump allowed
her to pull him off topic a whole lot.  He should have kept his Biden game
plan from the first debate in place and not allowed her to drag him into a
mudslingfest.

As is, it was really more like watching two people being interviewed in
parallel and doing nothing but attacking each other.  Trump partisians are
going to think he won, Harris partisians are going to think she won, and
most of us are going to be screwed.
