| 2024-09-11 | ||
| The final post of the evening. See the rest at the link. Sep 10, 2024 10:48 PM ETStephen Green The Dems got what they wanted tonight. The Progressive Axis — Harris and her ABC News foils — got under Trump’s skin and stayed there. Just as importantly, Harris was able to fire off her scripted talking points without interruption, correction, or serious questions. So that part sucked. The part that didn’t suck is that Harris didn’t do that thing Biden somehow managed in 2020 — to come across as likable. What I think most people saw was two people they didn’t particularly like. The difference is, they already knew they didn’t like Trump. Harris’s unlikability might have been news to them. And, hey, don’t shoot the messenger here. I’m just talking about both candidates’ favorability ratings. The State Steno Pool will chalk it up as a massive Harris win but I’m not sure how many viewers will actually buy it. Do they buy anything the SSP is selling anymore? If there is another debate, I hope Trump preps harder. And mostly I want his coaches to push his buttons like an irate pedestrian stabbing at the crosswalk button. PUSH PUSH PUSH. He can rein it in — he just lacked the discipline tonight to do it. But in the end, can anyone stand to listen to THAT VOICE for the next four or eight years? Could tonight have gone better? Sure. But we have two more months to go.
