My take on her wanting another debate is euphoria. IN HER VIEW: she made it through, she hit all her marks, she mugged appropriately throughout, and she rattled Mr. Trump! Combined with the blatant assist of the apparatchik moderators, SHE thinks she hit it out if the park.

But I agree with your take that we don’t need what passes for debate. All it is now is an in kind campaign contribution by the cabal mouthpiece media. A waste of time. Mr. Trump SHOULD PASS on further debates on the strength of the moderator malpractice ALONE, much less its current useless nature.

I appreciate you, brother. 🙏🏻

Totally agree, but even more in line with Seth's other columns, IT'S THE DATA STUPID. Polling isn't data. Polls are samples (some good, some bad) of what people say they "think" they will do in the future---but may or may not. REGISTERING TO VOTE is an ACTION that people DO. It takes time. A little effort. Voter registrations are off the charts for Rs. Then there are BALLOT REQUESTS. Again, this is a "do" vs a "say." Early ballot requests for Ds and blacks have crashed in the key states of NC, GA, and PA where early ballot requests have been sent in. In GA they are down 93% (remember Ds dominated this vote by 30% in 2020 if you believe that 2020 wasn't stolen). In NC, D early ballot requests are down 11 points; among blacks there, down 3 points (and remember, it's NC where MANY of those "D" and some blacks will vote Trump. In PA, early D ballot requests are down 131,000.

We are approaching the "cake is baked" point of the election (2/3 of all votes were early in 2020) where Trump is already the baked in winner.

Good analysis. I disagree with some comments above, however. I think Trump should agree to more debates, but HE should set the terms, including no earrings😂

Yeah, the left was not going to risk Kamala going rogue with word salad. An earpiece was the only way they could prevent that.

Good take on all of this, Seth. Thank you!

It didn’t hurt him and it didn’t knock her out. I was waiting for the cackle, her grimaces looked painful, the struggle was real.

LOL, I'm going to borrow that one, Seth.

Solid analysis here. Agree that any political campaign that asks for more debates is the campaign that is losing. The biased nature of the moderators also had the side effect of limiting any upside for Harris in the debate.

I was thinking the exact same thing about Shapiro , “hoping” she loses so he can run in 2028. He’s the type that cares only about himself , a real narcissist. I believe he was quite miffed when she didn’t choose him as VP . He thinks she’s a real dope and how dare she not choose him !

Let’s hope he “punishes “ her in PA.

😂😂😂 You make me laugh Captain. “No one gives a damn what you think, Taylor.” It’s that self-importance that the left is famous for. While President Trump is not known for his humility, he is able to back up his words with actions.

Your analysis makes the most sense of anything I have read so far. Thank you!

I was feeling a little sideways after the debate (of which I could only stomach 15 minutes of Harris's face and voice). However, after reading your analysis on both Shapiro and the debate (and after some much needed quiet time with the Lord), I am flying straight again! Thank you Captain....again.

Harris is NOT executive material
