Just woke up here and checked my InMail messages. Many here are not happy that I called the debate for Kamala Harris. That is unfortunate since I disclosed the basis of my Call. I noted that as a leader of my secondary school debating club, I learnt some few things on winning debates, and I used our old metrics for my call.
Harris prepared and had her points; Trump did not prepare well and was debating on the fly. Great debaters bail opponents and once that is done, you can drop some points on follow-up because you wanted those points out. Harris did that well last night.
Ndubuisi is not biased in this election. More than 6 months ago, I called the election for Trump and wrote that he would be sworn in next year. I repeated that many times. That was even before Trump and Biden debated. Of course when they debated, I called that Trump WON big time.

However, when Biden exited the stage and Harris took over, the dynamics changed, and I have withdrawn that “I call it for Trump” verdict because it is now open..
I am a teacher – I say it the way I see it. Trump did not have a great time last night. He was not focused and allowed Harris to bait him. That said, I did not issue a leadership award; it was a debate performance award. Please, let us not make this hard on ourselves. You can call it for Trump also. But for me, it was Kamala’s night.
