Even so devoted a bootlicker as Senator Lindsey Graham declared the debate a “disaster” for the ex-president.

Donald Trump is so feral and narcissistic, so unrestrained and so outside the norm of American politics, that he’s difficult to debate. It’s disorienting. Very few people have been able to stand up to him without being pulled into the muck. In the past, even when he lost debates on points, he dominated his opponents.

But on a Tuesday night in Philadelphia, Kamala Harris cracked the code.

    She’s more mature than to stoop down to his level and ridicule someone’s appearance or anything like that. The handshake was enough to get to him and plant that seed, a complete and total power move.

      The moment I saw that handshake I was like “oh. Power move”. I think he even said “have fun” lol

        She said her name to him, which was a nice move. He never said her name, or looked at her the entire time. That is actually weird, it’s like he knows if he does, he will freak

        I just saw a seasoned prosecutor taking control of the well. That’s what they do. Her facial expressions? That’s also prosecutor in action.

        Loved it all but of course I’m biased…

      “We go high” is what got us into this mess. Remember Hilary? Democrats need to get off the idealistic high horse already and do what works.

      You can absolutely play their game without getting mud on you.

      Edit: Basically there are a ton of stupid people and if they can’t be convinced then they should be used
