Trump is now claiming that he saved the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare. Yeh, right.

Taylor Swift apparently endorses Kamala Harris.
Who cares about celebrity endorsements, though… right?!? I’m sure Donald Trump will happily “shake it off”.

Calling herself Childless Cat Lady and waiting until the very last minute of the debate is absolute genius. Taylor Swift knows how to work the media machine alright.

I dislike “celebrity endorsements”. People should make up their own minds. People who vote Harris because “that’s what Taylor Swift told me to do” are idiots. Same as the MAGA crowd. Vote for your principles, that’s all. Thanks.

She should have run for Senate in Tennessee in 2018. It would likely have forced the RSCC to spend money on the race!

Taylor Swift is not telling her followers to vote for Harris. Read what she says in her statement: "I've done my research, and I've made my choic Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make."

Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make." The Financial Times are reporting is an endorsement of Kamala Harris. I'm inclined to believe their assessment of events. Tay is a high-profile Democrat stan.

There are theories at the bottom of your jargon BBC as well as FT calling it an endorsement - if it looks like an endorsement, walks like an endorsement, talks like an endorsement, it's probably an endorsement.

Taylor Swift is now a billionaire so it's ironic if Kamala Harris is going after Trump for billionaire donors like the Adelsons or supporters like Koch or Thiel.

Trump is speaking language that is doubtless agreeable to one-half of the nation. Harris is speaking language that is doubtless agreeable to one-half of the nation. But they are different languages aimed at different nations. America is too big. Split it in half, if not quarters, if not tenths, if not hundreths. It is a failed experiment. Or acknowledge that this is already acknowledged in the structure of the system and it is already split into 50ths, and stop fioghting to centralise it into an impossible single unitary state.

From the lack of gloating on either side I'm assuming the debate did not have a clear winner but will check the highlights later. Was there anything particularly amusing to look out for?

Even so, he doesn't really have any cause to complain.

Taylor Swift doesn’t strike me as that political for a celebrity, but in this day and age someone with her status would face quite a bit of scrutiny and criticism if she stayed totally silent

From the clips I've seen you can really see why Trump wanted to run against Biden. I thought his attention span appeared low & he's really easy to wind up.

Sounds like a big Harris win - Dems are very happy whilst Rs are whining about the moderators (who were actually very light touch) which is almost always a sign you know you’ve lost. Harris was pretty adept at getting across the points she wanted to the public but dropping in a small amount of bait in her answers - Trump then got completely sidetracked ranting about crowd sizes or whatever and failed to land a glove on Harris, even on what should have been winning issues (immigration, Afghanistan). The most amusing points, if you can call them that, were probably Trump’s ravings about the conspiracy theory going around MAGA world in recent days about Haitian immigrants eating cats, or his bizarre rant about transgender immigrant prisoners.
