Trump is trying to frame her as the incumbent, which isn't a dumb tactic -- but at least in this room, it's not working.

Something that Trump is *excellent* at: reframing.
Example: Most people would look bad and weak for having so many ex-employees speak ill of him, but he's reframed it about being tough enough to fire poor performers.

#twudebate Reminding the audience about McCain's thumbs-down was a smart way to respond to the Obamacare issue.

Harris keeps bringing up Project 2025, which Trump has disavowed. But it does exist, and its writers are associated with him.
Trump keeps referring to plans about taking guns away that no one has proposed.

I don't know how much of the Central Park 5 story our students know, but they sure seemed into what she said about it.

I keep typing fact checks and then Harris just says them, before I finish typing. That's new. Didn't happen in 2020, 2016, or 2012.

She didn't meet with Putin and wasn't negotiating peace. That's a mischaracterization of her mission.

A note about NATO, since it's part of the context for this part of the debate. It's a treaty. Our Constitution makes our treaties the supreme law of the land. If we were to abandon our NATO allies, we would be violating the Constitution.

It'll be interesting to see how people on the Right react to the fact-checks. They've been correct, but I anticipate it'll be played as biased.

Party conventions don't work like regular elections. What happened with Harris's nomination was unusual for the modern era but not a violation of any election law or the Constitution.

Many of those judges were GOP, some appointed by Trump. His lawyers couldn't get a case through a court system that requires evidence.

The best analysis of the January 6 events took place during the January 6 Committee hearings. Virtually everyone testifying was from Trump's team or state GOP.

The transgender operations on illegal immigrants in prison came out of nowhere. Big reaction in this room (not a positive one; laughter). #twudebate

The matter of Harris's changes of position is the best tack for anyone opposing her. Trump has tried to bring it up, but has gotten sidetracked. The moderator is the first to get her to address it.

He's shaking his head as Harris says he called for terminating the Constitution, but she's quoting one of his posts from social media.

No one has ever proposed aborting babies after birth. That isn't a serious position.

He's really trying to tightrope abortion by trying to paint his opponent as extreme (babies executed) and taking a position closer to middle ground (exceptions for rape and incest) that I don't believe he ever claimed before this summer.

#twudebate Watch for framing: she called his tariff plan "the Trump sales tax" and described its effects much like economists do. He argued he has no sales tax and then talked about his tariffs.
