She didn't win by "baiting" she won because she was brilliant, prepared, effective and eloquent

and in command of the facts.

* So true that every commentator used the baiting word. I bet the Republicans put that out and they repeated it
along with she "goaded" him.

Universe for leading up to the debate. Please help Save Our Democracy.. and we know what that meant.. That VP Harris knock it out of the Park!

And, she did it! Who said Debates don't change things? This has been the time for that.

Fired Up and Ready To Go!

That their traitorous man-child narcissist is easy to manipulate, either by flattery from dictators to make him happy, or by baits by strong women to make him raging like a demented fool.

Talented and accomplished people always make difficult things look easy. So sometimes they don’t really get the credit for the hard work they put in.

I have no problem with the word 'baiting' she was masterful, in every single way for this debate.

I saw a 'joke' here on DU that they were thinking about bringing her up on charges, of elder abuse
