H this is Dr Grande today's question is can I analyze the September 2024 debate between Donald Trump and comma Harris just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this if you enjoyed this video please like it subscribe to my channel and consider supporting me on patreon I will put the link to patreon in the description for this video first I'll look at the background of this case move to a summary of the debate than offer my analysis on September 10 2024 the second presidential debate was held in Philadelphia Pennsylvania it featured former president Donald Trump and vice president kamla Harris just like the debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in June 2024 this debate involved a lot of negotiating beforehand the microphones were muted and no audience was present the debate lasted for 90 minutes and was moderated by two journalists who worked for ABC News Now moving to a summary of the debate kamla Harris launched a number of attacks against Donald Trump during the debate for example she indicated that Donald effectively created a sales tax on the middle class through his tariffs he attacked American democracy during the January 6 2021 Capital Riot he refused to accept the results of the presidential election Donald's rallies are not special people leave early due to exhaustion and boredom and KLA accused Donald of claiming that climate change was a hoax Donald of course had criticisms of kamla for example he indicated that immigration was out of control and falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs in Springfield Ohio Donald suggested that kamla was a radical liberal and part of an Administration that destroyed the country she wants to conf escate firearms and defund the police she may have moderated her positions recently but KLA will go back to being an extremist if she is elected Donald defended the attendance at his rallies and said that people don't attend commis rallies those who do are paid and transported to the rallies in buses Donald criticized the Affordable Care Act and denied responsibility for the January 6 attack on the capital many different polls came out in the aftermath of the debate most of them indicated that kamla Harris was Victorious People tended to view Donald as Petty and defensive whereas kamla appeared to be more presidential now moving to my analysis let's take a look at the performances of each candidate in the debate I will cover the strengths of each candidate then move to the weaknesses of each candidate starting with the strengths of Donald Trump polls have indicated that Donald tends to perform well with voters on the issues of immigration and the economy Donald appeared to understand this because he attacked kamla on both these points this was his best hope at winning the debate he Illustrated the dangers of weak immigration policy and talked about how terrible the economy has been over the last few years for example inflation has been out of control Donald also pointed out how kamla repeatedly fails to articulate her policy which is a frustration that resonates with many people who watch her during the debate Donald was forceful confident and quick to answer questions now moving to the strengths of kamla Harris many voters are concerned about the decision to overturn roie Wade kamla talked about this topic extensively and pointed out how her position was different than Donald's she appeared to be particularly confident when speaking about this topic kamla has a reputation for delivering nonsensical responses to questions which has led to her being called the word salad vice president during this debate however she did not serve even one word salad this tactic could put to rest concerns about her being lazy dismissive or not taking her job seriously it was clear that she prepared for this debate and was willing to work hard to be elected president there's the sense that she took her responsibility as a candidate seriously she may not have been motivated before but now she is When Donald was trying to make his points kamla often looked over at him laughed shook her head and smirked this ran the risk of appearing arrogant but her timing was pretty good kamla did not smirk all the time rather she waited for Donald to say something that she could counter with her own argument both candidates wied and mischaracterized information during the debate but kamla was not as bad in this department as Donald kamla largely avoided using Donald's name calling strategy which helped her to appear presidential that's it for the strengths of each candidate let's move to the weaknesses starting with the weaknesses of Donald Trump When Donald was talking he mostly stared Straight Ahead this is typical of Donald during debates but it strongly juxtapost with commis behavior again she was looking over at him and smirking the Stark difference in Styles made Donald looked mechanical cold and emotionless as if he was unable to relate to people the arguments that Donald made during this debate spoke to his base but the election will be decided by a relatively small number of Swing voters in a few states he didn't really tailor his message to this influential group delivering a few Battleground State specific messages may have helped him there were times during the debate where Donald rambled a bit like he just could not get his ideas packaged in the most coherent way this made him look rushed and flustered Donald was more defensive than usual for instance he responded strongly to kamla making fun of his rallies a casual dismissal of her claim would have been much more effective Donald can never resist responding to any comment designed to make him look small or insignificant several of the claims that Donald made during the debate were false for example he said that he had seen interviews on television where people were talking about Haitian immigrants eating pets this was a rumor started on a local Facebook group there is no evidence to support this claim this far-fetched and fictitious phto Feast fizzled after fact Checkers found it to be nothing more than Facebook fueled folklore Donald said millions of immigrants were pouring into the United States from jails prisons and mental institutions there may be a few but there's no organized effort on the part of foreign Nations to send people from these places to the US Donald said that during his time as president there was virtually no inflation in reality inflation increased 6% during the first 42 months of his presidency Donald claimed that kamla was in favor of abortion even after birth in the United States that is referred to as homicide kamla does not maintain a pro homicide position Donald continued promote the myth of the stolen election which made him seem disconnected from reality insecure and Petty finally Donald claimed that the United States left $85 billion worth of military equipment behind in Afghanistan the actual number was $7 billion many of Donald's lies were told as part of a fear-mongering effort also there's the sense that he was simply grabbing at whatever he could to assemble his attack like the rumor about the Haitian immigrants eating pets Donald's presentation was not always calm organized or deliberate he seemed to be desperate and reaching for anything Donald missed many good opportunities to attack kamla for instance he should have focused more on the non-committal and vague answers offered by kamla when she talks about policy there was no need to exaggerate her positions or Biden Administration failures in order to make good points for example with the Afghanistan issue leaving $7 billion of military equipment behind was a massive failure of the Biden Administration When Donald said 85 billion he unnecessarily diverted the attention away from this disaster to his own deceptive Behavior did he really believe the lie was necessary to impress voters like he thought voters would say to themselves $7 billion that's pocket change but $85 billion well we better take that seriously now moving to the weaknesses of kamla Harris kamla appeared deliberate and pished but her responses could be viewed as canned stilted and vague those concerned about the word s Behavior may come to believe that the only way kamla can speak coherently is to memorize responses the canned responses could also point to a lack of conviction does kamla really believe what she is saying or is she just saying what she needs to say to win voters concerned about a continuation of the Biden Administration will not gain any comfort from commus performance she did not successfully demonstrate how she would be any different than Joe Biden KL was not as deceptive as Donald during the debate but she did make false statements for example kamla falsely claimed that Trump left the Biden Administration with the worst unemployment since the Great Depression she falsely claimed that there is not one member of the United States milit on active duty in a combat zone around the world there are actually 21 active combat zones involving American troops K stated that Donald wants to enact a sales tax which could raise prices almost $4,000 a year on a typical American family this is a high-end estimate by a liberal Think Tank not an accurate figure CA said that Donald's economic policies led to the highest trade deficits in American history actually the Biden Administration trade deficits have exceeded those under Donald Trump moving to my next question when considering the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate who do I believe was victorious in my opinion kamla Harris won the debate her style of presentation eased concerns about potential incompetency and she kept Donald Trump on the defensive she appeared to be more of a moderate than in the past which probably helped her among undecided voters who were worried about her taking an extreme position some have argued that the mainstream media moderators of the debate did not fact check kamla which gave her the ability to tell lies unchallenged this is true and it gave her an advantage but even without this failure by the media kamla would have won the debate Donald did not do himself any favors his best move was to use the failed assassination attempt to portray himself as a changed man someone who had an epiphany a man who was ready to abandon the grandiose and self-serving statements the stolen election myth and the name calling while maintaining some of his more popular positions instead those watching the debate saw the same old Donald Trump he may have easily beaten Joe Biden in the June 2024 debate but that was due to Joe's cognitive limitations when up against an opponent who can think clearly Donald fell short going forward from this debate the question becomes will comma debate Victory transform into an election Victory there is no way to know the answer to this question but she certainly improved her chances especially if she continues to maintain her word salid dietary restriction those are my thoughts on the September 2024 debate between Donald Trump and KLA Harris please put any opinions and thoughts in the comment section they consistently generate an interesting dialogue as always I hope you found my analysis of this topic to be informative thanks for watching
