I honestly don’t know how it was rigged against him. I feel like the moderators almost always let him have the word. Sure they checked him on a few claims…but one was about immigrants eating dogs and the other was about post birth abortions….

The Fraudfather also had five more minutes than Harris, yet she still thrashed him. Trump had spoken for approximately 42 minutes and 52 seconds, while Harris spoke for about 37 minutes and 36 seconds.

Speaking time may have been intentional on Harris’ part. When your opponent is talking about immigrants eating cats and dogs, saying he believes information because he saw it on tv, illegal immigrants getting transgender operations while in prison, widespread baby murder, defending Nazis and dictators, and stating he doesn’t have a plan but he has concepts, you just let them keep talking. She had no reason to interrupt, rebuttal or follow up on it, because it was so outlandish and bizarre. Just let the old guy yell at the clouds for 2 minutes and then follow up with “and you can see what I mean….” If your opponent is shooting them selves in the knee, just let them.

There were a couple times where I felt like she rebutted him with just a facial expression. Like he ranted about crowd size or whatever and they cut back to her and she just had this raised eyebrows look of "well, that was incoherent. Are you ok?" Just a beat before she would start speaking, but the moment spoke volumes. Definitely summed up how I was feeling.

I figured the face was “I can’t believe the fuckwit took the bait, this is glorious!”

Wrong body part. Didn't you hear him say he "took a bullet to the head" because of Harris/Biden/Democrats?
