    She’s a woman and she’s black – a double whammy for Mango.

    You know he could not sleep that night for sure.

    Meanwhile the rest of the country is giddy.

    So, if she’s dumb as a rock but still spent 90 minutes walking him around on a leash, what does that make him?

  3. I’m gonna keep drilling on this.

    Note, he *never even once* could look her in the eye.

    Republicans, your guy is a weakling. Prove me wrong.

  4. Should there be another debate, which is currently doubtful, I’m reasonably certain the deranged buffoon would once again be easily derailed.

    It’s patently obvious the degenerate clown has fucking completely lost his marbles and the pressure is just building. It wouldn’t take much thinly-veiled needling and mockery to send him reeling, regardless of how much his handlers remind him to stay focused; Harris has so much more in the well to draw from.

    I’d add that the VP’s talent for deflecting and redirecting difficult questions well exceeds the felonious bozo’s; crafting and subtlety are utterly lost on him. It’s quite something.

    “I have talked to world military leaders who’ve worked with you…and they say you’re a *disgrace*.”

    She didn’t say this *about* him…she said it *to* him, staring him straight in the face.

    Meanwhile, he couldn’t even glance in her direction with his “worst VP ever” schtick.

  6. Before the debate, the right wing media and Fox News pundits said Kamala was not smart and had a low IQ. Now the look like fools. Funny!!! Perfect.

  7. I think my door knob is smarter than a man who thinks immigrants are eating pets is true because he saw it on the internet. Just saying

    Nobody should care what Karl Rove thinks or says about anything. One of the most morally corrupt people to ever be near govt, largely responsible for the MAGA movement today and equally responsible for the state of conservative judges in this country alongside Leonard Leo (Rove got his start in politics getting ultra-conservative judges in TX elected, which was picked up by Leo and others and taken nationwide).

    My sense is that all of these republicans are abandoning him not because he is racist, sexist or a wannabee strongman but because he is projecting weakness. He doesnt seem like the powerful political whirlwind he appeared in 2016. Now he looks like a weak cowardly old man who is bumbling through it all

  10. There’s still time for Republicans to dump Trump and put the roadkill eating brain-worm guy back on the ballot!

    Actually there’s not. But they could write him in.

  11. But Donald Trump thinks all Black women are dumb. That’s his standard insult about Black women..

    That’s why it’s especially sweet when he’s beaten by Black women.

  12. I disagree with it, but I get the supposed “gamesmanship” of *calling* her dumb. But did he actually believe she was legitimately dumb? That would seem to have been a disastrous underestimation and a – whelp – a dumb one. Big surprise.

  13. The old guard Republicans are jackals roaming around the carcass waiting to get their turn back from the MAGAs. Karl Rove is not a hell of a lot better than MAGAs.

  14. The debate demonstrated that Trump offers absolutely nothing except spite. Robbed of that by someone who understands how pathetically easy it is to manipulate him, viewers saw the real Donald Trump: Scattered, disoriented, unable to think in real time, incoherent, and wildly dishonest. Trump is an inexplicably angry old man who constantly mistakes having been born into a wealthy family for some kind of ability on his part.

    He also clearly surrounds himself with yes men, which is one of the worst failures a leader can engage in. Someone somewhere needs to explain tariffs to him. Someone needed to coach him on the healthcare question, since one of his 2016 campaign promises was to “immediately” (Trump’s word) repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, and since he had a Republican majority in both houses of Congress for his first two year in office. When Trump stumbled through a cringe-worthy response about healthcare, I don’t think he was being dishonest in the sense that he seemed for once to actually believe what he said. He seemed to actually have forgotten one of his central campaign promises and to have no recollection that his party held the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives his first two years. Trump’s reliable failure on the basics of how governments function and his own political historymake it abundantly clear that he has no real advisors.

    The plain fact is that Trump is a joke. But, his followers don’t care. They thrive on spite, and Trump delivers that. Hopefully his stunningly incompetent appearance at the debate will convince some of his followers to stay home in November, and convince some yet undecided voters that even if you don’t entirely agree with Harris, the country does actually need a functioning president.

    She told us he could be easily manipulated and then proved it to us by walking him like a dog for 90 minutes.
