From the moment they walked out on to the stage their opening moves were on display. Trump avoided walking to the center to avoid a handshake, no doubt to show his lack of respect. But Kamel-toe was well rehearsed on any opening he might try. She darted across the stage and met President Trump behind his own podium with a handshake and a big smile saying, "I'm Kamala Harris". Surprised at her aggressiveness, He shook her hand and said, "Donald Trump".
He had lost the opening move. The Harris team had punted to the five-yard line and the ball went straight up into the air...
The first question was to Kamel-toe and her answer allowed the offense to run it to the first down. In the following two exchanges I'd say Trump won the first quarter of the game but with only a 6pt TD vs 2 pts for completed kicks.
What we didn't know was what Kamala was doing for the last two months while hiding from the press.
She was training night and day for this debate, memorized answers for every issue, mastered neuro linguistics to mimic Obama timing and voice intonation and learned all the button pushing points she needed to trigger President Trump into an egoic defense rather than staying on point.
Trump won the last quarter as well but I feal like Harris scored way too much in the two quarters she won.
She bated him each time she spoke with too many ego buttons for him to not pick one to go off the rails on.
He did not come off well to the uneducated voter who is still on the fence.
The uneducated voter does no know that every venous drip that came out of her mouth was lies. They only know how it looked, she came off composed and he came off looking like someone who can't finish a thought, rambling on about dogs and cats being killed by migrants in Springfield Ohio.
This debate was so bad I have to think this is intentional and is bate for a second debate or something I cannot fathom, because on the surface this was as bad as Trump's first debate in 2016.
What you explained is very close to how my left of center (but still voting Trump) friend just texted me. He said the debate didn't go well. That's from low info voters. People who have not woken up at all or only partially awake.
He kept saying President Trump should have stayed on the high crime and bad economy and not get side tracked with the eating animals and killing babies thing.
I thought President Trump did great but seeing it through their eyes (not awake) was a bit jarring for me.
