How Badly Did Tim Walz Lose?

My first reaction to Tuesday night’s “debate” (scare-quotes necessary because this televised event in no way resembled an actual debate) was focused mainly on how bad Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan were as “moderators” (scare-quotes necessary, etc.), However much you hate the media, you don’t hate them as much as they deserve to be hated. […]

Debate: J.D. Vance Defeats Tim Walz, Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan

America wanted the answers to two crucial questions: Is there any politician in America less qualified for high public office than Kamala Harris? and Is it possible for debate moderators to be worse than ABC’s David Muir and Linsey Davis? The answer to both questions is a surprising “yes.” Tim Walz is less qualified than […]

Trump: I Won, No More Debates

This is a bold move, and can only be explained by Duane Patterson’s question: “If Kamala Won the Debate, Why Is Trump Gaining Ground?” Counter-intuitive as it may seem — because Trump had a lousy debate performance — it appears that many undecided voters moved in favor of Trump as a result. Or, to put […]

Yes, Kamala ‘Won’ That Debate (and Why It Probably Won’t Matter in November)

If any of your Democrat friends try to provoke you into an argument about who won Tuesday night’s debate, avoid the provocation by agreeing that Kamala “won,” and end the conversation immediately. “Never smarten up a chump” — don’t let them in on the secret that Harris’s debate “victory” is unlikely to make any difference. […]

Debate Night: America in the Balance

The first presidential debate this year was such a huge Trump victory that Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid a few weeks later, resulting in Kamala Harris being anointed as the Democrat nominee. What are the chances that Kamala Harris will do better than Joe did against Trump? We’ll see. Feel free to use the […]

Donald Trump Had an Agreement to Debate Joe Biden, Not to Debate ‘Whoever Democrats Pick to Replace Joe Biden’

Hey, remember when it was a “right-wing conspiracy theory” if you thought Democrats were going to pull a Torricelli-Lautenberg switch and run some other presidential candidate instead of Joe Biden? Republicans float a quiet conspiracy theory that Biden won’t be on the ballot — NBC News, Oct. 26, 2023 Get Used to It: Biden Isn’t […]

MELTDOWN: Democrats Panic After Biden Has the ‘Single Worst Debate Performance in American History’

WOW! Just . . . WOW! My pre-debate prediction was that CNN had this “debate” pre-arranged to be a Biden victory, but if so, it certainly didn’t work as planned. Not only is CNN itself now admitting that Biden crashed like the Hindenburg at Lakehurst, but there is a universal consensus among Democrats and all […]

Prediction: Worst ‘Debate,’ Ever

Every day, I watch CNN (so you don’t have to) and for the past several days, they’ve been hyping up tonight’s so-called “debate” between Joe Biden and Donald Trump as the Most Important Debate in World History. Like everything else on CNN, this is a lie. There will be no actual debate tonight. That is […]
