I have no doubt that after Tuesday night's debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the polls are going to reflect a bump for Harris. Trump was clearly not in a fair fight, and the moderators were a disgrace to their professions... but that's pretty par for the course for corporate media, at this point.

From my count, there were five claims that Harris made that the moderators should have called Harris on but chose not to, while they jumped down Trump's throat every opportunity they got. At one point, I noticed that the fight had stopped being between Trump and Harris, and it became a fight between Trump and the moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis. 

This was all in an effort to make Trump look bad to low-info voters, and I have no doubt that they succeeded in large part. While I hate admitting this, it's not hard to convince someone who knows little to nothing about a subject of anything, and the media understands that. It's what they rely on in order to push their politics on America. 

But while the media are pretty great at getting people to initially believe something, we live in the age of the internet, where information is distributed fast and lies are debunked quickly. A lie can no longer get around the world three times before the truth can put its pants on, the truth doesn't even need to get out of bed. It'll just log on to a social media site. 

And that's what the Harris team should fear right now. 

Harris got away with a lot last night. The five unchecked lies might have initially snuck by thanks to the moderators looking the other way, but there's something of a political aftermarket issue the Democrats have to deal with. Once people get online and start combing through the commentary and data, they're going to find that Harris didn't actually do as well as they initially thought. Their likely suspicion that the debate was biased against Trump will also be confirmed, and that will cause a few people to ask themselves a question. It's one you should ask those who haven't quite gotten to the realization, either. 

If Kamala Harris needs help from moderators and a rigged debate to survive, should she be in charge of the free world?

Upon reflection, it's not a good look for Harris. Voters who were already locked on for Harris might not mind it, and in fact, they might have even enjoyed the three-on-one team up, but for everyone else, there's the very real danger that it gives off a look of weakness and elitism. It definitely strips the "strong woman" vibe she's trying to push for out of her hands, which Trump expertly mocked last night during the debate as well.

Harris was already fighting an uphill battle due to the fact that she's part and parcel of the administration that put many people here to begin with. Now she's being protected by the same media that's been telling everyone that the inflation is good, or even their fault, and has continuously lied about their predicament despite it being self-evident? 

Once the videos and the commentary start leaking down into normie world, the question above is going to pop up. This will ultimately be seen as a media fumble, and one that probably endears Trump to the public even more. It's usually the pattern that happens when the left tries to screw Trump over in some fashion. 

At this point, we're in wait and see mode. The polls will shift in Harris's favor but then as the high wears off and the hangover sets in, the polls will shift again, this time against Harris. It's the pattern that's been established so far. 

In fact, the high might be pretty fleeting as it is. It would seem many people are already decided about who won.

But in order for these kinds of questions to get into the minds of those who need them asked, the questions need to get out. The left doesn't like the inconvenience this poses to them and, as such, they try to shut people down who do the asking. This includes you. I'm sure you've already endured a few silencing attempts from the overlords of Silicon Valley
