It’s called decorum. I know that’s a foreign concept on the right these days but it used to be a thing. Either way, she looked in control from the start. He did not.
She showed during the entire debate that she couldn't even control her own emotions or facial expressions and it made her look very silly (especially for a 59 year old woman). When she couldn't even control her own responses to trump, then the moderators had to step in and take over for her. That shows weakness on her part.

Honestly she showed much more restraint than I could have mustered. I’d have been on the floor laughing hysterically while the old man lost his mind at the podium next to me. He looked and sounded truly insane.

The snippet from X makes no sense because the context is missing. I watched the full interview where she is explaining what she calls an opportunity-oriented plan for the economy. And she elaborates by talking about ideas that will address the current state of affairs such as lack of housing and high prices which shows that she perceives it as a problem of supply/demand. But she's also interested in plans that will address future capacity and other future challenges.
I watched the whole interview as well with great difficulty. It's good that she has very smart people like yourself and others I see here in left-wing circles volunteering all their time and energy re-presenting her views.

"It matters how debating candidates carry themselves. There, it was no contest. Ms. Harris came across as calm, confident, strong and focused on the future. Mr. Trump came across as hot, angry and fixated on the past, especially his own.."

I can relate more with Trump's "angry and fixated" demeanor. It's more realistic when considering the seriousness of the times.

I like people who can keep cool under pressure. Trump is not that guy.

I'm a centrist, I don't know much about Kamala Harris, and like most people I'm just learning. It seems to me she is not educated in economics, but I don't think she's stupid and her desire to be just seems sincere.

Some are going to see my speaking out against negative prejudice as trying to make Kamala Harris look sincere. If anyone wants to show me where I'm incorrect, I would be thankful to them for doing so.

It started when she went out to shake his hand while he seemingly resisted and had to treat him like a child right in the opening moments of the debate. That set the tone of who was gonna be in charge that evening.
If she did good for her. But now we have to deal with the more important thing.....who has the most childish policies. At this stage in American politics the shaking of hands is just for show. Deal with the substantial issue concerning how the nation will be run and stay with that.

I would have rather had someone other than Trump but there's no way I can support Kamala Harris.

The moderators by injecting their own opinions/comments ("fact checking") made this debate pretty much null in void imo.

Moderators are supposed to ask questions and let the candidates respond .... nothing more.

Notice how the only thigns the moderator fact checked were the insane 1000% wrong stuff. Not his other thigns he lied about, but his flat out lies, like the abortions after birth and the cats and dogs eating. Again remind me of anything that harris said that was not only patantly false, but absurd to think otherwise?

She showed during the entire debate that she couldn't even control her own emotions or facial expressions and it made her look very silly (especially for a 59 year old woman). When she couldn't even control her own responses to trump, then the moderators had to step in and take over for her. That shows weakness on her part.

Oh, she demonstrated total control.
Trump, on the other hand, was triggered by a simple suggestion that his supporters left his rally early.

If we say she couldn't control her face, we have to say he couldn't control his mouth.

Cynicism usually forms as a defense mechanism that habitually reasons upon "negative prejudice", and a psychotic cynic could project criticism whether Harris was described as NOT transparent, insincere and "hiding something", or whether she was just being herself and described as "NOT controlling" her emotions or facial expressions.

It's futile to try and fix what's not broken, and that is what is frustrating when trying to reason with those who are disconnected from reality through the negative prejudice of cynicism.

What on earth? I ain’t clicking that weird link.
a "face book"? Sounds pretty sketchy. Like the kind of site you would create to rate the appearance of coeds.
