We dined out last night [Italian] with old friends. Afterwards, we raced home to watch the debate. I missed its opening, where Kamala marched over to Trump and shook his hand. In retrospect, it was a bold move that set the stage for the beatdown of the century to come. She was just brutal! And he totally deserved it. The combination of her strong showing and the modicum of moderation by ABC, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”, was enough to allow Trump to reveal himself and still contain him from being too much. Then he launched into rally mode and warned that illegal immigrants are eating American pets. “They’re eating dogs.” They’re eating cats.” Run Spot run!

Sensing his vulnerability, Harris struck. She hit him in his weak spot, crowd sizes, “People start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.” After that line, it was all over except the spin room. It was obvious that she had studied for this debate. Not content to simply observe, she first dissected him, before completely eviscerating him. A couple of months ago, it was painful to watch the Biden-Trump debate. Afterwards, I was reluctant to see Joe go, but after last night, it was apparent to me that it was the right decision. Now we have the prosecutor versus the perp and court is in session. Lock him up!
