So that was fun…

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

You all watched the debate. I don’t need to tell you what happened. We all saw it. We’ll all be talking about it tonight and tomorrow. But I do want to take a moment to assure you that you’re not imagining it. Kamala Harris really did dominate Donald Trump in the most lopsided presidential general election debate since the one that got Martin Sheen reelected on The West Wing.

In fact this debate was such a historic butt kicking, I’m not sure its full effect is going to sink in for a hot minute. This was a debate that was excellent for Kamala Harris and terrible for Donald Trump on first glance. But now that it’s been over for twenty minutes, I find myself remembering just how many big moments there were. Trump literally went into a presidential debate and claimed people were eating dogs and cats, and it may not have been among his five biggest disastrous moments of the night.

Anyone who tuned in for this debate, not already knowing how they were going to vote, came away leaning strongly toward Kamala Harris. And since every news outlet that doesn’t rhyme with “Nox Fews” will declare Kamala the winner, those who didn’t watch the debate will spend all day tomorrow being informed that Kamala did indeed win.

Looking around on social media, Kamala’s base is throwing a party about this debate, and Trump’s base seems either defensive or inconsolable. This debate really did go the way you thought it did. It was an all time blowout. Donate now
