On pins and needles waiting for the debate of the year to finally begin. Will we finally pay attention to ACTIONS and track record or will it all be about words, words, and words as always? #ABCDebate

"Why is Donald Trump never fact-checked?" Because we live in an era where WORDS matter more than anything. WORDS are equated to violence. People are cancelled on the basis of WORDS. It's words VS reality. #ABCDebate

Kamala Harris comes out focusing on creating "relatability": personal brand building 101. I am like you - I grew up middle class, I was "brought up" by a small business owner #ABCdebate #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding

#PersonalBranding101 is to leverage your strengths: for Trump it's speaking off the cuff; for Harris it's to be prepared and follow the script. So far both are staying "on brand" #ABCdebate #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding

#PersonalBranding is all about perception. Harris looking at Trump with irony and laughing comes off as natural and makes a strong impression. Trump's body language and nodding as Harris speaks is making him appear tense, nervous, and antagonistic. #ABCdebate #Debate2024

#PersonalBranding is also all about storytelling and painting a picture for the audience. Harris is doing a solid job giving specific, albeit hypothetical, examples of relatable situations.

Staying "on brand" is key. Harris just made her first mistake. She does not perform well "off the cuff" and excels with a script. Jumping off script to "confront" Trump failed. #ABCdebate #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding

When we put ourselves in the public eye, we can expect to be criticized, baited, and triggered. Replying to the baiting with confidence and not becoming defensive, is key. We are seeing the two candidates handle being baited very differently tonight. #ABCdebate #PersonalBranding

Relatability is key when building a public image. Let's see how the two candidates approach relatability. #ABCdebate #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding

Trump's audience is clearly Republican voters. Harris seems to be casting a wider net. #ABCdebate #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding

Both candidates make numerous fictitious statements. Will the public care? #ABCdebate #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding

“doing transgender surgeries on illegals in prison” will no doubt go viral #Debate2024

Harris has been clearly trained to smile during Trump's replies. However, the debate is long and she is getting tired. Smiling during the Ukraine war question is misplaced. #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding

Trump came completely unprepared to the debate. He could have easily debunked the myth of the Biden administration supporting Ukraine. Instead, he ranted uncontrollably. #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding

This is the part of the debate where we can see very clearly that WORDS matter better than ACTIONS. Biden administration has been selling Ukraine out, but we are focusing on their words. Trump failed at debunking the myths. #Debate2024 #PersonalBranding
