    These hosts are absolutely awful. Every time he rambles and lies, they give Harris a new topic. Occasionally they ask a question and barely point out that he didn’t answer it.

    The hosts need to hold him to a debate, not let him play it like a Trump rally.

    Harris is doing fantastic.

      They called him out on that insane 9mo abortion nonsense, and the people eating pets.

      Honestly, that’s the moon compared to usual.

        They half heartedly disagreed and let him repeat it again, just like they won’t correct him every time he lies about immigrant crime. It might be slightly better than past debates, but they are absolutely letting him run the show.

      Everything he said is a lie. They would spend the whole debate rebutting him.

        Nah, actually correct him and mute his mic and he would storm off the stage like a giant baby.

      Oh look, Harris wanted to respond out of turn one time and the hosts shut her down after letting Trump interrupt all night.

      It really deems like he has been allowed to talk for twice the time as Harris. Anyone keeping track?

      This is the first time we have seen moderators actually fact check Trump live. I’ll take that in spite of the interruptions.

        They were meek and let him talk over them. I guess more than zero is better than nothing, but it is a pretty low bar.

        It’s almost like they were prepared with researched facts based on his most commonly repeated blatant lies.

      It’s really infuriating. Every time he’s asked a question, and she gets a rebuttal, he just starts rebutting her rebuttal and they just let him. And half the time what he’s says has nothing to do with the question that was asked. They cut Kamala off pretty much every time.
