Debate Wrap Up: No One Has Ever So Thoroughly Dominated Donald Trump

She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge. 

Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.

She seemed nervous with the first one or two questions, but the longer it went on the stronger she looked. Classy and professional was one way I heard her described. He was his usual self. Some memorable lines:

Don: "they're eating pets" ... "I have the concept of a plan.." Kam: "..he (Putin) would eat you for lunch.."

The way she laughed at the remark about eating cats and dogs, was exactly my reaction. Glorious!

He all but broke down crying at points. I gotta get a soundboard clip of "it's DYING David!" after like the fourth time he diverted and lied about immigration.
