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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Her prep team was incredible. Overall her campaign is performing incredibly.
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.
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.
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.
