“Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people and clearly he's having a very difficult time processing that”
“Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people and clearly he's having a very difficult time processing that”
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.
He really went off the rails after she started talking about his crowds leaving rallies early.
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
which soundbite? lol. I can think of at least 3
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.
Unsurprising that a prosecutor knows how to get people to act like an ass in front of a jury of their peers.
Did she say this in the debate?
My favorite moment was her introducing herself so formally.
It was also a slick way to correct him on how her name is said.
I wanted her to bait him into a handshake then withdraw out of disrespect but alas we can't have her pushing the bully back too hard while courting the low-info swing voter, I guess. So this was a pretty great alternative.
Well a certain decorum is befitting to the position they’re in, so I’m glad to see one candidate that understands that.
I mean he doesn't know how to pronounce her name. I think she figured this would be a good time to do it lol.
I missed this. I think I came in late. Does anyone have a clip of that?
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.
She straight up called him an idiot
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.
There’s a lot more to deciding the president than this… this was just cathartic.
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.
It's always been this way to some degree.
Holy shit, is that why his two dumb ass sons always have that 'I have a raging clue' face going on?
why does it always look like hes wearing someone else's face
I figure it's the spray-tan which doesn't go on right next to the eyes.
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)
The way his skinsuit slides around on him I wonder if he's a very small Slitheen.
Because even after all these years and having all that staff he still doesn't know how to apply nake up right.
I was cracking up at the choice use of "fired" in this comebsck
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:

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.
