Now do Trump.

Why?

Why?

Well, the thread is called "US Election November 5th". Are you just going to discuss the candidate you don't like?

I mean, let's face it, if you think Trump is going to be a better option than Harris for government you probably need your head flushed out, whether you're left leaning or the other. Policy, personal competency, chances of corruption and simply supporting the democratic establishment. All favour Harris.

As for being able to debate - I'm not going to check because I most definitely cannot be bothered, but I believe she was some kind of senior figure in the judiciary and a lawyer, so I imagine she probably can.

I know that Trump can't.

So what? This was about Harris so bringing Trump into it is a diversion.
Being a lawyer does not mean the ability to debate. It means the ability to arrive at the truth by the means of pertinent questions. The lawyer doesn't get questioned unless they end up as a witness or in the dock. Specious argument.

Starmer being a good example.

Well, there you are making assumptions. How do you know I don't like her? All I have said is that I think she is pretty awful in debate and doesn't seem to know what her policies. Maybe I think Trump is worse, maybe I think that on balance, he would be better. It will be interesting to see who wins and how things pan out in the next few years. But what annoys me is people declaring how great one candidate is based on their perception of the other. Examine your favoured candidate with a critical eye and make an honest point, not one based on partisan affiliations.

Whether it's Harris or a bag of potatoes that was running against Trump, it wouldn't change my opinion of Trump.

And unlike trump, a bag of potatoes could be of some help to the average person.

based on what?


I suspect youve never actually watched a number of examples of Kamala Harris in interviews, but rather just short clips that support your bias

You say she is pretty awful in debate: well Trump is a devious opponent and she rather destroyed him

here is Harris taking questions from reporters.......seems pretty good at answering questions to me


here is an interview on Fox news which is hostile to Harris............seems pretty good at answering questions to me:

Examine your favoured candidate with a critical eye and make an honest point, not one based on partisan affiliations.

Have you honestly appraised Kamala Harris objectively rather than just based on partisan affiliations?

Maybe I think Trump is worse, maybe I think that on balance, he would be better. It will be interesting to see who wins and how things pan out in the next few years

So do you think Trump is better?

Well, you seem to be going out of your way to hedge about what you think about Trump but not hold back about being critical about Harris, so what do you expect? And equally, I myself have never said Harris was "great", just that I'd favour her over Trump for reasons I've already had a small go at. I'm not sure who your final sentence was aimed at. And I'm not sure why you think we can't compare her to Trump - see post #563 (i.e. who put you in charge of the thread?).

This thing about debating - yeah maybe, dunno, I've never been to law school so I don't know how much "debate" they do. But in the few things that I've seen her in, if we going to define them as debate, she seems to do all right <shrug>.
