I think the debate went well for Kamala. I also think America needs a lesson as to what causes inflation. There are at least 8 causes:
1. Tariffs
2. Sales Tax
3. Assumption of inflation
4. Supply Chain issues
5. Price Gouging
6. Monetary Policy
7. Pent up demand post pandemic
8. Private Equity buying up vast amounts of residential properties.
The connections are obvious and can be summarized: Trump, Trump,Trump,Trump ,Trump,Trump, Trump , Trump
I think attacking Trump and MAGA on these causes is important , and somewhat difficult because they are reality based on thus a little complicated.
