Trump will lie, spew his word salad, display his misogyny and racism for the entire world, but it won't matter, the media will focus on none of it. Instead they'll dissect everything Kamala says completely, and any fumble by her turns into a huge negative. She also hasn't shown a real strength for talking off the cuff, and it's a stacked deck against her. I think Trump gains in the polls after the debate

I can only speak for what I see/hear speaking with clients at work, the signs I see popping up.
I only know a few Trump diehards who come into my salon, and they've always supported him. I know several old school Republicans who absolutely loathe Trump. They may not be willing to vote for Kamala but they might just skip voting for President at all. My clients who are more liberal are
fired up. I've never seen enthusiasm like it in my years behind the chair in a salon.
I was in some rural-ish parts outside of Pittsburgh today and there were definitely plenty of Trump signs - but that's not new. In the city itself, Harris has far more visible support. Even some houses in my neighborhood that used to fly Trump flags proudly are no longer doing so. There are a few houses that have signs up for all the
other Republican nominees (for state rep/senate, etc) but not one for Trump. And my neighborhood already has more Harris signs up in early September than Biden had in late Oct 2020.
I won't be comfortable until they call PA for Harris, because 2016 flashbacks are going to haunt me for years, but I'm way way more optimistic than I've been in a long time.
