First Harris-Trump Debate of 2024 | The Coffee Klatch with Robert Reich

Watch Kamala Harris and Donald Trump face off for the first time, with live commentary and fact-checking from Heather Lofthouse and yours truly. When Trump tells a lie, we'll tell you the truth (assuming we can keep up with him). Pour yourself a cup of something and join our Coffee Klatch Watch Party.

[@gregoryroscow5846]

Kamala Harris was more impressive than I expected. She was focused, coherent, and genuinely optimistic. Donald Trump was even worse than I expected, and the bar was already low. He was angry, repetitive, and ludicrously bombastic. A genuine loser.

[@lucybeaudoin3369]

I agree with you He is a genuine LOSER.

[@suicune2001]

I'm surprised he kept himself from mentioning Hannibal with some of his rants. 😂

[@abeautifuldayful]

Yes, and I even saw him sweating like Nixon against Kennedy in 1960, which I've seen on video (as I'm not that old, lol). Many say that's a big reason he lost that election, which gives me even more hope now for Harris.

Great question,,..

[@gregpendrey6711]

Because she asked for fair time and moderator could decline. Donald just barreled through and the mic was turned on to prevent a shit show chaos. Which would ruin the debate. It is now up to the viewer to note.

Kamala brilliantly baited tRump the entire evening. It was a lesson in the art of debate -

And she was being gentle with "His Snowflakeness." It was 81.2 million Americans who fired him. I would have also pointed out that he lost the vote in 2016 by 3 million. He's never once been elected, only forced on We The People by a system desperately clinging to systemic bigotry. It's happened 5 times in total: Adams, Hayes, Harrison, Bush Jr, and now z45. All 5 were previously well known as white supremacists.

I put it back though because I realized I didn't want to be awake all night with a tummy ache! 😄 It's going to be hard enough settle in before I hit the pillow in an hour. It is so hard to listen to him. I don't pay attention to the polls. I do my own research, etc. I'm putting a big blue dot on my rear window and on my house. I hope so many people get out and vote for democracy that there can be no doubt what we want.

[@ArtemisSilverBow]

I understand completely. I tried to sew while the debate was on so I wouldn't get so angry about the big orange menace. The way the moderators let him talk even when he was muted and let him respond whenever he felt like it but told her she couldn't do it, and then when he basically told Harris to shut up several times, my ears were steaming angry. He was allowed to steamroller multiple times because of moderators allowed it. When he kept telling her is to shut up I could only imagine what she was feeling but she remained composed.

[@keithwinget6521]

The irony being that Joe Biden actually did "just okay" with most of the things 45 left him to clean up, and for 45 to complain about any of it is some kind of terrible joke. That Joe Biden didn't have perfect presidency and fix all of our problems right away is (without argument) true. That 45 would have put everything in a much worse position across the globe (not just here) is also very likely the case. If he gets the reigns again, it's pretty much over. If Kalama wins. We breathe, and then we push reforms immediately, and we never let up.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

The problem is he essentially gish-gallops his lies. It's so exhausting most just accept that's who he is. I often even find myself answering the question of _"what lies?"_ with the reply _"what truths?"_ Because it's hard to find a time when he's not lying. So much so, that when he does tell a truth, I assume it was an accident. But we should all just remember a few memorable events we can readily point to. Just enough to shame them with the reality they deny.

I had to fact-check this because I just couldn't believe it. I hadn't even bothered checking their opinion. Thank you for commenting on this!

[@notaspeck6104]

Yeah but give it a few hours till they start complaining about the moderators.

[@Zyo117]

I got a lot of good screenshots in this debate. Trump looking mad or asleep while Kamala has enough facial expression to cover all four of them. You can tell the moderators were getting tired of trump just by how they stressed the thank yous. Also that's the best use of muting the mics I've seen. They let Trump go just enough before they unmuted him to make it seem like they tried, but still managed to highlight his verbal vomit every time they let him go on. And 9 minutes extra of your enemy making a mistake is absolutely not to be interrupted.

[@ArtemisSilverBow]

I disagree partly. The moderators let Trump interrupt and talk over multiple times and when Harris tried to clarify with a rebuttal she was denied repeatedly and the moderators let Donald Trump tell her to shut up a few times. When Donald Trump was muted and wouldn't shut up the moderators unmuted him. Then the talking heads criticized Harris for not having enough plans when the only person talking about plans was Harris and Donald Trump just spent an hour and a half putting everyone down and lying about crazy things.

[@louissaraiva2296]

It's exhausting to hear Trump talk and LIE for 90 minutes . He has a way of draining people . If it wasn't for Kamala being there I would not have watched it .

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

@@RoyalCortz : _"where’s the lie?"_ Coming out of his mouthhole constantly. When does he not lie? Is a far easier question to answer, because gish-galloping lies has been his entire game-plan since his klan-loving daddy taught it to him as a child instead of loving and nurturing his child. He lied 30,573 times while in office. Just because he's also a bigot doesn't make him and other bigots correct. Bigotry is always based on lies.

[@goemonronin]

How did she answer anything directly? Most of the time she deflected. When asked about immigration and the border, she said she was going to concentrate on Americans, and jobs and such, when asked about whether the economy was better now, or 4 years ago, she deflected again. She did that all night. She didn't elaborate on any of her alleged plans. How are you going to get that 6k paid for? How are you going to get that 25k paid for and what are the criteria for getting it? Sorry for me she danced around almost every question she was asked.
