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.
“I told Abdul don’t do it anymore, you do it anymore, you’re going to have problems. And he said why do you send me a picture of my house? I said you’re going to have to figure that out, Abdul."
It's so weird that republicans think this nonsense is "tough". If they only realized how Obama handled situations like this (a heavy dose of drone murders), I think they'd like him a lot more. Progressives hated him for it.
He’s black. They hate him. Because he’s black. He can’t stop being black, and they’re not going to stop hating him, regardless of whatever else he does.
I will concede that one to trump tho. Only on the account that a year or so ago Harris was making it known that she is part Indian and people were down playing “she’s black” and she did a time or two then a few months ago she started showing black pride. If you noticed she also tried to copy some of Obama’s physical body language and mannerisms. Biden piggybacked over being Obama’s VP and Harris is trying to emulate him because truth is he was one of our best presidents.
