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.

    I’m not American, but that was fun to watch. I had my popcorn and everything. It felt like I’m watching Cartman debate Wendy or something.

      It was easy for you to enjoy because you were not worried every second that if it went poorly, you were about to live in an authoritarian state.

      EDIT : poor phrasing that changed the meaning.

        It’s worse than that, because if Trump takes back over then gawd only knows what he’ll wreck outside our country.

        I did not worry every second that I allegedly am about to to live in an authoritarian state.

        What are you talking about?

          Maybe they meant you don’t have to worry about living in authoritarian state if he wins.

            Correct. I really need that up and I’ve corrected it.
