Giggling, cackling, speaking Word Salad and talking about unburdened by what has been is "combative"?

Trump had to be and was very careful not to bully Demento Joe. Biden did that to himself.

Now Trump has to make sure he doesn't make Willie's Ho cry. He can easily tear her apart and make her look even worse than the idiot she is.

But again, that might make Trump look like a bully. Picking on a poor defenseless gal.

The only significant ascent Kamala ever had was when she got up off her knees after her encounters with Willie.

recounted Jim Stearns, a political consultant who had helped Ms. Harris in the race.

Notice how the whole narrative is from a fie hard Harris supporter.

"Kamala Harris’s razor-sharp debate skills ..."

I suspect the "skills" that elevated Harris are not the type of skills that improve with the passage of time.

I am fine with the media building up her debating “skills”... and with it, the expectations.

She’s definitely going to come out with pre-programmed one-liners that the media will try to use to declare her the “winner”

Razor-sharp. Hmmm. Is that the new euphemism for bitchy?

Kamala Harris’s razor-sharp debate skills have powered her political ascent.


Are they kidding??? The NYT is printing bald faced lies every single day! Or have they now become a satire site?

I really, really hope that if she does her “I’m speaking” routine, as if no one dare interrupt a woman, Trump throws it right back at her when she interrupts him.

The harris campaign sends an article to one of it’s media minions. The minion reads it and suggests that it is not nearly complimentary enough about Harris. Rewrites it. Sends it to Harris Campaign for approval.

Then published as a fact.

It is both ridiculous and deeply evil.

When he gets to his lecturn, he should pull out a couple of small bottles of salad dressing and put them on display.

“how well she adapts to an unpredictable rival.”
Unpredictable? Not if she’s done her homework, and watched a few Trump rallies, there’s nothing unpredictable about him.
He’s rock-solid in his beliefs and his message. He doesn’t lie.
She just has nothing to counter with.
She’s a failed AG, who got zero votes to get where she is. That’s where her failure begins and ends, when she tries to stay in the ring with the champ.

“Kamala Harris’s razor-sharp debate skills” OMG, I laughed so hard I started to choke.

You just described the entire extent of her debate skills.

But that’s OK, let the Left and indies expect the best from her. That’s not good management of expectations, which can only help us.

Yeah, right. Her political rise was powered by her ******* Willie Brown’s ****.

Probably the best strategy. Isues, issues, issues because even if she says it perfectly she’s still a commie hack who wants to take away the hard earnings of the hardest workers.

So THAT’S what they now call, ‘sleeping your way to the top?’

*SPIT*

she called biden a racist

there is that

so expect more of the same

She'll have to come up with something new.

And the mics are turned off. So she can't interrupt Trump.

I wonder if she’ll tell a new whopper with her old punchline…

“…And that little girl—was me!”
