Trump-Harris debate: The best and worst moments

A panel of campaign strategists and election analysts who watched Tuesday night’s feisty debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris had different takes on the night’s festivities — but did agree on one thing when they spoke to The Post: That Harris had outperformed her boss, President Biden.“Much like Joe Biden in the last debate, Vice President Harris had a bad makeup job.Her face looked washed-out, while Trump had color and looked far younger than his 78 years.“Trump gets an B+ for his disciplined demeanor.

For the most part he didn’t bite when taunted by Harris, except when she brought up his rallies.“Harris had good debate coaching and was well-practiced. She pivoted from the question asked, talking about whatever topic she wanted, never really answering the question.“Height of Hypocrisy Award goes to Harris for bragging about Dick Cheney’s endorsement.“Harris was also weak on specifics and heavy on ‘happy talk.’ She never answered questions about why she changed positions on numerous issues, such as fracking.Her closing statement was also very weak.“Trump’s closing statement was strong and hit home by asking, ‘Why hasn’t she done it?'”“The moderators get a D for not fact-checking Harris the way they did Trump.“Debate was a draw.

Nobody’s opinions were changed.”“This debate is a perfect example of the phrase ‘it’s not the win but the spin.’“Harris took command from the beginning.She initiated the handshake.

She went over to Trump.“He scored by attacking Joe Biden.When he attacked Joe Biden, Harris didn’t defend him or their record.“Trump won the immigration argument, but he could have done better.

He should have just said, ‘Immigration wasn’t a problem when I was in charge.It’s a problem when you’re in charge.’“Harris did score points talking about the Jan.

6 riot.That is an issue with some swing voters, but she may have taken too long to reach them.
