Being chosen by God puts pressure on a guy. :)

I don't think Trump needs many of those, it's just good vs evil and save the country vs trash the country. But Trump has mentioned no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on social security.

 MP> Kamala is making some of those, too.  The "$25,000 for first time home

I haven't heard about it but that's very snakey behavior. People who rent awful apartments will walk right into that trap.

Ahead of the debate, Kamala was being coached by the attorney for Google (in the USA vs Google case, which is a crime in iteself.) He must have sat down with her and explained things, and advised what she can and can't say, and she did it right. She will need get with that guy every time she speaks in public from now on.

When Trump improperly referenced West Virginia (when he meant to say Virginia) that was an opportunity for Harris to correct him and look smart, but she was too dumb to even do that.

Which part of the debate did she make sense on?

You're right.

 MP> "Word salad" is when someone is speaking incoherently or throwing out a
 MP> bunch of unrelated buzz phrases.  Coherently saying something you just
 MP> don't like doesn't not equal "word salad."

It's just that the things she talks about, that I heard, are extremely unimportant because I'm fixated on the border issue. Maybe that's how the
leftists felt in 2020; they were fixated on covid-19, and it looked to them like Trump did it and he was refusing to fix it. Unless Trump would say "I fixed covid," the leftists didn't want to hear what he had to say.
