I was begging Harris to say, "you let radical insurrectionists flood into the Capitol attacking the police in an attempt to overthrow democracy. Why should anyone take you seriously on the border? How did building that wall and making Mexico pay for it go, Donald?"

He couldn't protect the capital from his own supporters when he was down the street but he wants people to believe he can protect an entire border.

Nancy Nancy Nancy Nancy Nancy.

(I might have to rewatch to get a count.)

Not only was it Nancy's fault, but it actually wasn't a big deal and the only person who died that counted was a person that broke through one of the windows at the hands of a police officer doing? police officer? duties?....

My favorite bit in this section is when he re-litigated at length the 2020 election before saying "oh but it's ancient history, we shouldn't be talking about it" or something like that because everyone just let him cry himself out, and even he began to realize that nobody wants to hear him talk about how he won the 2020 election again considering, you know, we're trying to pick a president this year.... lol

He became, live on stage, exactly what Harris has been going to great lengths to characterize him as her entire short campaign...someone who is focused entirely on the past, grievances, and retribution.

Her job last night was to get him shook, then back off and let him be insane. She nailed it.

idk. she should have said "no, we're not doing that" a few times. some people will see this as a silent admission of guilt.

You can't respond to every single allegation. If you did that you'd spend the whole night talking about things you don't want to be talking about.

The best (I was tempted to write easiest, but it's actually not easy at all) thing to do is to let him rattle on and allow the audience see just how unhinged he is, and then stay on point and talk about what you actually want to talk about.

He was trying his best to respond to every damning fact that she dropped about him, and that's a large part of the reason he lost so thoroughly.

She let him cry himself to sleep. For a childless lady, she sure knows how to handle a petulant child.

yeah, but i think a few lies, not all, would be okay to respond very short to

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

she picked some and did that

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

She did on the whole, "They're only planning on taking your guns away!" bit that he used as a rebuttal to her actual sound and reasonable plans.
