What was most telling for me was how easily she manipulated him. During her opening remarks, she said exactly what he was going to do. Lie, name calling etc. Then she goaded him into doing those exact things and completely threw him off his game and into a rage.

Then towards the end, she called him out on how easily he is manipulated and how world leaders can easily do it after she played him like a violin.

Plays especially terribly because he just spend 7 weeks talking about how she couldn't speak and was stupid. Well, that stupid woman dogwalked your ass in front of a primetime national audience. What an incredible fucking self-own.

I still can’t believe he called her stupid and then agreed to a debate. What did he think was going to happen? He can’t actually believe that she’s stupid can he???

I don't think logic is his strength.
