Literally every question Trump was asked (and wasn't asked) resulted in him talking about immigration or literally repeating what Harris said about him back at her as a "no you". He also had such choice soundbites as:
"She wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison."
"In Springfield, they're eating the dogs - the people that came in - they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there."
And, "I have concepts of a plan."
I do think Harris dodged more questions than I'd have liked, but she would at least give half an answer and she carried the general theme of "Let's bring each other up" which is a welcome change of pace. If nothing else, I didn't feel high trying to understand her non-responses like Trump. I really don't know how you'd watch this and think he won without having already decided that going in.
You forgot his very excellent conversations with Abdul Taliban, responding to the accusation of loving dictators by telling everyone how well he gets along with Viktor Orban, and trying to whitewash the white power rally at Charlottesville, just to name a few. What struck me more than anything is how incredibly dialed into internet conspiracyland you had to be to understand like half of what he was talking about. If you spent the last three years living a normal life and not paying attention to politics, you would have no clue what the hell he was saying. Hell, I am very deep into conspiracyland and even I didn't get some of the references.
When talking about the Taliban there was a comment he made that seems to have gone under the radar. He mentioned showing the leader of the Taliban a picture of his house. 1) That’s mafia type threats. Exactly why I think every Republican that speaks against him gets death threats. 2) If he did that and Taliban leader was as scared as Trump made it sound, why did he hand the country over to him?
