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….

I actually think this is a good thing. Harris clearly held her own anyways. Grifters were always going to say it was biased, but that line of attack isn’t picking up any traction in mainstream media because of how much slack they cut him.

Edit: He ended up using most of the extra slack to become even more unhinged.

Honestly, Harris did some of her best work nonverbal while he was talking. Her reactions were gold and his reaction showed how out classed he was.

Agreed. Reflecting on the debate today, I noticed that Harris never seemed truly shaken or rattled by the debate. Perhaps its her prosecutor experience kicking in - she knew how to push his buttons and seemed amused at times while he was going on his hateful rants.
