Take out the fluff pieces and it was eighteen minutes, about 50/50 for Harris and Walz.  As expected, lies and contradictions were the order of the day, but the good news is that Walz, her emotional support puppy, did not have to jump in and "man-splain" what she was trying to say.  The bad news is that it was because he couldn't make sense of what she said either.  

It was about 30 minutes and she spoke about 80-85% of the time. Your master Lester really needs you on a shorter leash. Now come pick up his poop Lester.

When CDL said they spoke 50-50, he was using "poetic license."  Why does CDL use poetic license?  In his own words:
"...this is the ONE board I take a little poetic license with, because the Lefties here are so tied up in knots, it makes their heads explode."

...when they sat down for their first interview together after Trump announced Pence as his VP pick?
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/donald-trump-mike-pence-interview-911897/

Extemporaneous speaking is very difficult. Just listen to -- wait for it -- TRUMP! He speaks in incomplete sentences and bounces from topic to topic ... and has to "speak" using his tiny accordion hands. In my own experience, I hear VERY smart people make grammatical (and other) errors because their thought processes are getting ahead of their speaking. (brain: "I want to say, They do this." Begin speaking "They ..." brain: "No, I should really say HE does this." Speaking suddenly shifts from "They do ..." to "They does ..." and it sounds dumb.)  
.
If, in context, I can tell that a speaker meant 'We need GOALS untethered to time' but said 'We need deadlines ...' it might not be dumb but poor expression. "Our GOAL is to clear the Baltimore harbor and rebuild the Key Bridge ASAP. ... I'm not going to commit to a DEADLINE, because there are too many complicated issues to coordinate." versus an extemporaneous "We have a deadline to restore and improve the Baltimore harbor untethered to time ... because you never know what will happen: a lawsuit blocking construction of an exit ramp; an engineering delay removing the old structure; etc.."
.
My GOAL is to read the complete interview and formulate my opinion. I'm NOT going to commit to doing it by a 12 noon DEADLINE.  
.
Harris may not be as glib or as fast as Buttigieg or Newsom or Raskin but she isn't stupid. When I listen to Trump, I hear STUPID. When I READ transcripts of Trump speeches or interviews (or tweets!), he comes across even STUPIDER, LAUGHABLY so.

…is not an easy thing. Most people suck at it. Harris sucks at it unless she’s reading a teleprompter. Trump is comfortable with it and it shows. If you’re running for office, it’s a good skill to have. It’s useful to remember that Trump came out of a showbiz type background. And Harris came from a cock sucking background. These are very different skillsets.

People misheard Walz. He didn't blame grammar, he blamed gramma. She used to beat him with a broomstick so he became shell shocked and imagined he had seen combat.

Kamala spoke 16:29.  11 minutes were spent between Dana or Walz. So for every minute Kamala spoke, she had 2.5 days to prepare (40 days delay.)

He consistently speaks to the room and not the audience. He forgets he is even on TV. He wildly goes off script because he always gets caught up in the crowds hero worship.  
.
That’s why he gives the peeps in attendance nothing but raw meat and hurts himself with the audience at home. That’s not original thought of you mine. Just ask anyone that has ever worked for him. He just doesn’t listen to his advisors and it’s why Kamala is winning. She stays on message. He goes off script, says wildly that offensive and stupid shit, and that idiocy gets the headlines instead of any point he makes was trying to make.  
.
When was Trump at his best? When he was silent in the days after Joe self immolated after the debate. When is he at his worst? Whenever he talks.

Latest unconfirmed rumor is that the 18 minutes was cut from 41 minutes of recorded video.

READ the transcripts of Trump's RANTS.  Incomplete sentences from incomplete thoughts veering off into some other irrelevancies using incomplete sentences spoken from incomplete thoughts. Covfefe!  
.
On several occasions, Trump has explained his multi-hour rambling speeches at his rallies. ~'My people wait on line for HOURS and HOURS. Thousands of people. If I only gave them a short speech, they'd feel cheated. So I talk a lot.' "I don't ramble." ["I don't ramble." is an actual quote!] Meanwhile, after a short time, people are streaming out from the same old repeat of his catalog of peeves and complaints. So Trump is left talking to the empty seats: "Barack HUSSEIN!! Obama!!!"  
.
What's next from Trump? 'My crowds are bigger! My SPEECHES are longer than kuh-MA-la's speeches! So unfair!!'
.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettysburg_Address is 271 words. It was delivered READING FROM HIS NOTES in less than three minutes. It is memorized and vocalized by thousands (millions?) of schoolchildren year after year.  It is one of the greatest speeches in American history.  
.
Lincoln was preceded by Edward Everett http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Everett . "He was the featured orator at the dedication ceremony of the Gettysburg National Cemetery in 1863, where ***he spoke for over two hours***—immediately before President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous two-minute Gettysburg Address." Does anyone know even a single line from Everett's speech?

I watched virtually the whole thing, which is more than most. He started out strong (for him) but then continually veered off course. After about an hour you could see in the crowd shots people streaming out.  One observer who was a Trump supporter summed it up like this: "He lost the room."

You won’t get it reading a transcript. He speaks like a normal human being in a conversational style. But with a little something extra. It’s called charisma. Something KamalamaDingDong is completely missing.

A good speaker can formulate a thought and express coherently, Don't confuse the rambling of an old worn out buffoon as someone who can articulate a thought.

Not one of their responses on this thread claims that Kamala or Walz did a good job in the interview, either from the perspective of substance or style.  Most of the Dem responses are, "But, Trump . . . . ." posts.  Thanks for confirming it was a train wreck.  

I love how he likes to add his own lies as if it someone's here is buying it....

Semper Lie.

Around 54% of US adults read at a 6th grade level or below.

Trump is the LEAST literate of all presidents.  
http://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-speaks-fourth-grade-162154615.html
Donald Trump speaks at a fourth-grade level, the lowest of last 15 U.S. presidents, according to analysis [Jan 2018]
.
MANY acknowledge that you want to speak to level of your audience. Most speeches are at the NY Post level (4-6th grade) and not at the NY Times level (8th grade and higher) and certainly not at the level of a private high level meeting at a bank (or the Fed) or Law Office or Big Pharma or Engineering (car, planes, computer chips) or Software company.  
.
The NY Post stories might be at a 4th Grade level but they are somewhat cogent, simplified but complete, and make sense. Trump speaks with 4th Grade vocab and grammar but he spews almost comical nonsense. willy says, "You won't get it reading a transcript" because Trump makes no sense if you actually try to read his words and sentences and figure out what he is saying. Real 4th graders are smarter than Trump.  
.
Trump may speak at a 4th grade level but he also thinks and acts at a 4th grade level (posting the blow job meme about Harris and Clinton; consistently lying and blaming others). Do you really want an 80 yo 4th grader in the Oval Office? We'd be better off with a real 4th grader in the Oval Office.

Wanker is illiterate.

claimed to be a good PUBLIC SPEAKER, only that she was a good PUBIC SPEAKER.  In fact, when she was younger, she was touted by those that knew her intimately as an accomplished "penis-whisperer."
