Generally, the debate is being cast as anything but the overwhelming victory for Trump that many predicted.<\/p>\n<p>But my guess is that both the dejection from the right and the perceived victory from the left will fade almost immediately as people have a chance to take in everything that really took place tonight.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, the times when Trump looked \u201cthe worst,\u201d like when moderators tried to debunk him on the Springfield, Ohio, animal\/pet killings that were\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/realannapaulina\/status\/1833682307519029468\" rel=\"\">confirmed by 911 calls minutes before the debate<\/a>, will once again be proven to be factual and on point. The delivery wasn\u2019t fantastic, but over the last three years, the country\u2019s tolerance for being lied to by the media has shrunk significantly, so it won\u2019t take as long as it normally would for people to see past Trump\u2019s delivery. People are thinking critically now more than ever and doing their own independent fact-checking more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>In short, people will quickly realize that Trump\u2019s comments sounded justified.<\/p>\n<p>And if Americans need a reminder as to why doing their own fact checking is so important, they only need to look at Kamala Harris\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tKO_Wjc_OPY\" rel=\"\">near admission<\/a>\u00a0that COVID came out of a lab in China early in the debate. 3 years ago her side of the aisle would have called you a conspiracy theorist and banned you from social media for saying so.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F827092ca-8805-4dc8-891c-ee1d4692dcff_492x331.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-component-name=\"Image2ToDOM\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F827092ca-8805-4dc8-891c-ee1d4692dcff_492x331.png\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F827092ca-8805-4dc8-891c-ee1d4692dcff_492x331.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F827092ca-8805-4dc8-891c-ee1d4692dcff_492x331.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F827092ca-8805-4dc8-891c-ee1d4692dcff_492x331.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F827092ca-8805-4dc8-891c-ee1d4692dcff_492x331.png 1456w\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"331\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/827092ca-8805-4dc8-891c-ee1d4692dcff_492x331.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:331,&quot;width&quot;:492,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:352988,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false}\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve already written extensively about how the media has lost significant credibility with independent and moderate voters due to their covering for Joe Biden in the midst of his obvious mental decline.

This debate will be different from other ones because it\u2019ll eventually be looked at in that context. And when people go back and watch how the moderators constantly argued the merits with Trump while leading Harris in her answers to multiple questions, this debate will be revealed for the biased farce that it was. And then \u2014 mark my words \u2014 it will do more harm than good for Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has already come out and asked for a second debate with Trump, ostensibly indicating that she thinks tonight was a success. When the debate ended, the scrutinization of ABC\u2019s dirty tricks began \u2014 and they will be off the table in any future debates.<\/p>\n<p>If I were Kamala, I\u2019d be careful what I wish for in asking to step in the ring for a second debate. Just because the judges saw one round with Trump as a draw doesn\u2019t mean you can go the distance and win by decision.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/markets\/debate-will-backfire-horribly-both-kamala-harris-and-abc\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/markets\/debate-will-backfire-horribly-both-kamala-harris-and-abc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-250337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=250337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250337\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=250337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=250337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=250337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
