There's one specific reason why Kamala defeated Trump in the debate. [View all]

She is the first person in nine years to tell him the truth to his face. She told him he was a liar, considered a "disgrace" by our allies, and incited a violent mob to attack our Capitol, amongst other courageous truths.

No one else had done that in the last nine years. They may have said it on talk shows or in discussion groups, or elsewhere, but never to his face.

She told him the truth and he never looked at her. For anyone that watched the debacle, he was a humiliated bully and con-man.

I agree that telling Trump to his face that he is lying is one reason Harris won the debate, but you are selling her Martin68 Sep 14 #49

I give her all the credit in the world. kentuck Sep 14 #51

True. Good point. The cult's reaction to the moderators too underpants Sep 14 #52

She is of a different era. Biden and Hillary are older and being seen as nasty or mean is not good for them. Srkdqltr Sep 14 #54

She wanted so badly to call him "this motherfka" but caught herself and said 'this former president' instead. OMGWTF Sep 14 #55
