Some say it was Trump's devastating closing argument which buried Harris. Others say it was when he pointed out Kamala's Communist dad.
For me, it was her opening dodge of the first question. She thought it was a tough question, but it was really a big fat softball question which she whiffed on.
"Is America better off that it was four years ago?"
Kamala thought the question was a referendum of her failed administration. That's why she completely dodged it. That's where she lost the election. America was waiting for a cogent answer, a better defense of her failure. Something. Instead, they got nothing. They got a lie that Trump had no plan.
The interesting part was that it was intended as a teed-up question for Harris to slam Trump on COVID, but she was too dumb to see it. See, four years ago, was September 10, 2020, when much of the country was in lockdown. Even though Trump did an outstanding job, getting the vaccine before the end of the year, and correctly citing the source of the virus, and calling for business to re-open by mid April, Democrat governors of NY and CA prolonged the shutdown and caused the recession. So one could correctly say four years ago, the country was down. ABC intended Giggles to jump on it, but she didn't.
What say you? When did you realize the debate was over for Kamala?
