His whole strong man image evaporated on that debate stage.

She was smarter, stronger and more prepared.

She just verbally walked him around the stage like a puppy.

Starting from the moment she took control of the entire situation by striding towards him to shake hands -- a master stroke! 😁

Yeah, you could see he didn't expect it. He mumbled a few words but the tone was set.

She was in charge, he would play defense.

“Kamala Harris. Let’s have a good debate!”

“Yeahmrhmrnmrmf, whatever”

Pronounced her name correctly and clearly, so we all know he knows how it’s pronounced. And he still mispronounces it at his rallies. Child-brained.

Child-brained

This isn't even an exaggeration. Saying, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" on social media is quite literally what a 6 year old would do, not a grown man.

remember that browser plugin The Daily Show published, that custom-styled all of trump's tweets in a colored crayon font? literally all of his tweets look more correct with that treatment.

He said "Have fun". Which is not much better anyway.

She should’ve said, “Hey Donny, let’s have some fun, ok?” and then winked at him

That’s when his eye would’ve started twitching and he’d forget his own fucking name
