…
She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge.
Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.
But I don’t mean idiot, I meant what I said. If anything ignorant would be more concise and keep my meaning. If for some reason you don’t pay attention to politics but still find yourself watching the debate Trump seemed to have a lot of responses to criticism and “answers” to problems even if they were all lies.
The end was absolutely infuriating, of course Trump gets the last word… “Why haven’t you done any of what you said you want to do already?”
… because we have a fucking Republican Congress! Again any ignorant person wouldn’t recognize that and would accept what he said as truth. It makes sense in a way, if you’re in power now then why aren’t you doing something? That one is not Kamalas fault though, that’s ABC always letting Trump have the last word… :/
At times, I thought Trump made arguments like this because he thought it was a good tactic, but ultimately I think he just forgets that Congress is a part of the process at times.
His closing statement was babbling and bordered on incoherent, so I was fine with him having the “last word”.
He also kind of complemented her plans in it. “We’re going to do all of these wonderful things”.
Overall, operation let him talk was a very bigly success IMO.
