I'm still shaking my head over the 'They're eating cats and dogs!' thing.

[DRourkey]

"He's not going to talk about you, your needs, your desires. He's only going to talk about him"
Trumps response,
"Let me talk about me for a minute"
Was right up there with Futuramas,
"My humble ranks among the greatest humbles, THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!!!" Joke

She definitely baited him it was so obvious and he fell for it hook line and sinker. She was laughing at him like "did he really fall for that OMG" Just pushed his button like a remote

[sandburgmartin]

He just got schooled in the real 'Art of the Deal'. Difference is practicing it, not getting a ghostwriter and taking credit.

Narcissists are extremely easy to manipulate. This was a textbook example!

Watching Trump come completely undone at the comment about people leaving his rallies early was pure comedy gold. If you attack his clinical narcissism he will forget about EVERYTHING else and go on a completely unhinged rant.

He's so easy to manipulate.

It was a thing of beauty...and hilarious

[Vesperitis]

She did THREE things at the same time. She defended her positions without getting suckered in by Trump, explained what she would do for the people, and trolled Trump. Brilliant work. She and her team prepared very well.

[margaretscott]

He couldn't look at her, cause she stared him down. He kept his eyes down..

[mechanical_chaos]

She's used to dealing with criminals.

[issofsar]

"They're eating the dogs!!!!" That was by far my favorite meltdown of the night.😂😂

[craigcampbell]

I said the same thing. She knew if she baited him he wouldn’t be able to help himself.

[RabbitsInBlack]

She's a SMART LAWYER. It's not her first debate.

[bigbrowntau]

Love how she had to remind him twice he isn't running against Biden.

[naseryaby]

She's a prosecutor. I never expected less.

[kathyoverton]

I didn't notice that until she mentioned crowd sizes. I heard him go on those rance, but it wasn't until she mentioned crowd sizes that I realized she was bleeding him straight to them.

[chiclosok]

Harris was magnificent. I agree Trump took the bait, and then Trump would end up talking about his own grievances.

[la_profe_negra]

Kamala was preparing to dig trump's grave, and trump said, "I can do it myself!"

[gregohmer]

She crushed that old fool, it was fantastic

[fdm]

It's true. Trump could not help himself. He was literally shouting. 😂😂😂
