    Had there been a more savage moment in a debate? Has anyone been shot at one? I am afraid to Google it

      I found the following clip the most savage as she basically tells him that works leaders across the world think he’s a tool and that someone with his incapability of self reflection makes him unfit for office:

      https://youtu.be/ecGjnR3aNvA?t=8m06s

      His response makes it worse as he said that Orban said he was the best leader ever. Which kind of makes the point

      “Please proceed, Governor” was a good one.

    I love the strategy of talking down to him like he is a child, knowing full well that he is going to respond like a child.

        And his facial expressions while he wasn’t speaking? I honestly had a hard time telling if he was trying to troll her like he did Hillary or if he was constipated.

        It’s like he doesn’t know what to do with his face if his mouth isn’t moving.

          Apparently, based on one newscast I’ve seen, he was told that instead of losing his temper out loud, he should make faces at her that show his anger.

          So he decided to lose his temper out loud and made stupid faces the rest of the time.

          It’s a “pretend to understand and be authoritative” face. Once I had a boss who was woefully underqualified and he made that face all the time.

            I noticed the lack of comprehension several times. I could easily pick out which individual words she said that he doesn’t know, because he has absolutely no self control.

          Why aren’t we talking about that more? That face was sooo weird, like is he a cartoon character now?

      He literally said he can’t tell a difference between how he is now and how he was in first grade.

      He actually doesn’t know that adults aren’t supposed to act like six year olds.

        So according to his logic, his racism “40” years ago with the central park 5, and his behavior now is indistinguishable. Sounds about right.

    She had to get that “fired” line in. She knew that would get under his skin.

      Not only that, but it does meaningfully reframe losing an election into an easily digestible soundbyte for uninformed voters

      You could tell she had those zingers locked and loaded and was just waiting for the right time to drop each of them.

      You could also see her when she decided to chamber the round. Where her stern disapproval face had brief flickers of delight as she decided she was going to use one when she had her next chance to speak.

          I think her campaign is what an actual campaign is supposed to look like, it just looks incredible when you compare it to the dumpster fire that is Trumps campaign.

            I still want more substance from her campaign, not because it won’t work this way, but because this way is working so well. She has the opportunity to make some progress while still tripping him into pools of his own filth.

      Unsurprising that a prosecutor knows how to get people to act like an ass in front of a jury of their peers.

    My favorite moment was her introducing herself so formally.

    It was also a slick way to correct him on how her name is said.

    Kamala is highly meme-able; with her effort and a capable team, they’ll drown out those Trump cultists and get uninformed voters on her side. If only that old, weird narcissist would just become an irrelevant creature sooner.

    As per my previous email…

    She straight up called him an idiot to a national audience and if I die too young I hope it’s with that memory in my head.

      We’ve been doing it for decades. She did it in language he gets. It showed more than it ever has before.

    It’s a great line, but it’s also kind of tragic that these kind of soundbites are how we decide who is commander and chief of the armed forces.

      Nixon lost the 1960 election to Kennedy in part due to how he looked during the first televised debate.

      while I agree with you and would love to have policy be the main driver of people’s decisions, elections are unfortunately more about likability than policy for most voters.

      He had only one of three expressions anytime she was talking, and it was fucking creepy all on its own.

      • I want to fuck the cameraman (seen in OP)
      • I want the cameraman to fear me greatly (such as seen in his famous mugshot)
      • Punchable, fake, practiced smile (as seen in some common Trump memes)

      Because even after all these years and having all that staff he still doesn’t know how to apply nake up right.
