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.

    The one time Harris tried the same thing she was shut down by the moderators.

    And she didn’t even put up with that. She just waited until her next turn, went back, said her part, and then answered the new question. Trump was basically incoherent by comparison

      And she only did it to counter a bold face lie he said about herself.
      Not 10 minutes before she stated that she did not ban fracking, will not ban fracking and made the tie breaking vote in favor of fracking.
      But he still says “shes going to ban fracking if elected” like dude WTH. Are you paying attention?

        And I, for one, would love it if she actually banned fracking. But that’s not an argument that Trump World can make.

          What is fracking?.
          Fracking — shorthand for hydraulic fracturing — is the process of extracting gas or oil deep underground using a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals to break up rock.

          Its definetly a controversial subject.

          I think it’s a hot issue for many working class citizens due to the results of creating more American jobs and lowering gas prices.

          On the other side of the issue is climate risks and feeding our reliance on fossil fuels.

          Edit:
          Yeah keep downvoting me without adding to the conversation. I haven’t said I was one way or the other. Just providing an article for education on the subject and speculating on why people are on both sides.

          To state my opinion. I’m against fracking. Against ICE vehicle subsidies (fuck these huge pick up trucks). Also for nuclear power.

            On one side! The world dying! On the other, a couple people’s jobs that can be replaced by green sector jobs!

            What a massively hard decision.

              We all know in a capitalist society there are people who only see short term. They care about themselves and not the future.

              That means billionaires that only care about making the line go up. Increasing their own wealth. Hoarding it like greedy little lepricons.

              That means working class that wants cheap gas and more jobs.

              All at the cost of the planet and the future of all life on the planet.

        No. He is in Bizarro World 24/7 and will not have anyone, let alone a woman, tell him otherwise.
