09 11 24 The boring, no-issue Harris-Trump debate and the tragedy facing America
Columnist Ray Hanania joins former Congressman Bill Lipinski to co-host this episode of Two Guys on Politics.
Lipinski served in Congress from 1983 until 2005, was a Chicago Democratic Committeeman and Chicago Alderman representing the 23rd Ward on the Southwest of Chicago, a ward which had one of the highest voter turnouts in the city each election.

Hanania and Lipinski discuss the first debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris that took place on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024 and how the debate was more about what the candidates needed than what the public wanted to hear. Harris "won" the debate mainly by achieving her goal to prove to the nation that this unknown commodity can stand on her own and debate Trump. Trump failed to convey his ideas in a clear and coherent manner and too often got sucked into responding to Harris' taunts and accusations.
Neither Trump nor Harris explained in any acceptable manner what they would do to improve the economy, to stop illegal immigration that is undermining this nation, strengthen America militarily to standup to the threats from Russia, Iran, North Korea and the growing axis of evil, or how to help seniors.
Instead, each side threw their favorite topics at the wall, including abortion, January 6, and fracking without going into depth.
This debate was organized by the news media, ABC TV News, and not by the Presidential Commission on Debate and was unfocused.
Prior debates before the "Trump era" focused on issues. During the two wasted hours, Harris and Trump coudl have spent 30 minutes on each of four major topics: Abortion, Immigration, the Economy, and their plans if elected president.
Instead, the public got nothing.
