The Republican nominee’s temperament was exactly the scenario that his advisers were reportedly worried about.

Former President Donald Trump’s volume slowly but surely ratcheted up over the first hour of the debate on Tuesday. He started off relatively calm, but as Vice President Kamala Harris needled him on his rallies, his standing in the world, and his legal troubles, he eventually blew up.

There was no sign of him calming down as the debate hit the home stretch and, as a result, his answers began falling apart, drifting into the same disjointed, incoherent ranting that Harris invited people to watch at his rallies.

    Harris’ team wanted open mics so he could spew his bullshit and make himself look bad, so ABC pandering to him worked in their favor. Anyone who’s a cultist loves his verbal diarrhea and will support him no matter what, but there are always people on the very fringes of not wanting to vote for him that can be picked off every time he does it. They just have to be demotivated to vote Republican or at all, not convinced to vote Democrat.

      Yeah im biased but i dont see how any undecided voter hears that incoherent rambling and doesnt lean more towards kamala. Her facial expressions alone said all she needed.
