Trump’s dour negativity contrasted with Harris’s optimism about America | Robert Reich

Trump tried to paint Harris as the candidate of the status quo, but he failed because he came across as a mess

To say that Kamala Harris nailed it in Tuesday night's debate is an understatement. She knocked it out of the park. She combined civility with firmness. She made Trump look and sound like the blubbering idiot he is.

This was Harris's first presidential debate. It was Trump's eighth - including his debates with Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020. But Trump was worse than he has ever been. All he did was attack. His only weapon was fear. His only means were lies.
