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 trucker I swamp for has swapped rhetoric from “Kamala laughs like a hyena/ Trump is fine” to declarations about how he doesn’t care about politics and how maybe we should all just stop talking about it.
Very funny how fast that disengage happened.
Trumpets disengaging and not voting is probably the best we can hope for.
If they skip the election it is a huge win. Change takes time.
My parents, who aren’t hardcore trumpers but did vote for him last time aren’t voting and I consider that a massive win
How does one ‘swamp for’ a trucker? What new devilry is this?

Old devilry. The same sort that has union truck drivers called “Teamsters” even though most of them have never been near a horse or mule.
I’m a Teamster … and I’m a fucking school bus driver. When I signed up for the union I made a joke about getting a phone call at midnight to go down to the docks and break some kneecaps. The guy taking the forms un-ironically said “I wish we did that”.
Some Teamsters are wild man. One guy I rode with went on a whole thing about how he thought “Swamper” was such an outdated thing to call my position and I brought up the whole thing about how he wasn’t driving horses either and he went on a 40 minute tyrade about how very dare I/ it’s still called “horsepower” / proud history of the union…
Cocaine is one hell of a drug.
Ahhhhh. Thanks!
