One of the biggest issues with Trump is every trait he has and everything he does is terrible, paralyzing efforts to narrow down criticisms into something digestible. The Harris campaign made their choice to focus on how Trump is old and weird. In this debate, Harris successfully zeroed in on that narrative, hitting it over and over. Now every garbled statement or odd behavior from Trump will reinforce her message. Luckily for her, Trump can no more stop acting weird than he can stop wearing orange makeup. [Read the rest here](~/AASU4wA~/RgRow_1CP0RnaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvdzJsdmJ0dm00Zy8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dWJ1dG9mc2gwZCZsaF9lbT10cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NSU0MGdtYWlsLmNvbVcDc3BjQgpm4UJ44WZxvgd6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRow_1CP0RDaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvNnU2NDdpcThpci8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dWJ1dG9mc2gwZFcDc3BjQgpm4UJ44WZxvgd6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~~/AASU4wA~/RgRow_1CP0RDaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvb2o2aTV6c2w2ei8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dWJ1dG9mc2gwZFcDc3BjQgpm4UJ44WZxvgd6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~~/AASU4wA~/RgRow_1CP0RDaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvcWdhZWI1aHM5Yi8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dWJ1dG9mc2gwZFcDc3BjQgpm4UJ44WZxvgd6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~~/AASU4wA~/RgRow_1CP0RDaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMWRqNWNtZWxuOC8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dWJ1dG9mc2gwZFcDc3BjQgpm4UJ44WZxvgd6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~ Harris getting Trump flustered made for great TV From Nardos Haile: [Kamala Harris](~/AASU4wA~/RgRow_1CP0RnaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvYm1ieG0yZHBkdi8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dWJ1dG9mc2gwZCZsaF9lbT10cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NSU0MGdtYWlsLmNvbVcDc3BjQgpm4UJ44WZxvgd6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~) flexed her knowledge on domestic economic policy while aiming at [Donald Trump's](~/AASU4wA~/RgRow_1CP0RnaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvd2puemVwejlmdy8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dWJ1dG9mc2gwZCZsaF9lbT10cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NSU0MGdtYWlsLmNvbVcDc3BjQgpm4UJ44WZxvgd6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~) education at their first debate on Tuesday evening. And it was hilarious. Early on in the debate, moderator and ABC News anchor David Muir asked Harris and Trump whether the American economy was better off now versus four years ago. The opponents snarled their teeth at each other, with Harris making a dig at Trump's alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. The former president and Republican nominee graduated from Wharton in 1968. The Washington Post [reported](~/AASU4wA~/RgRow_1CP0RDaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMTJ5Y2J6eTF4bi8_bGhfYWlkPTEyMjk1OSZsaF9jaWQ9dWJ1dG9mc2gwZFcDc3BjQgpm4UJ44WZxvgd6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAACg~) that Trump's brother Fred Trump Jr. and his father Fred Trump Sr. helped Trump get into the prestigious business school. Harris went to undergraduate college at Howard University. Harris started, "What I'm offering is an opportunity economy, and the best economists in the country — if not in the world — have reviewed our relative plans for the future of America.

She looked mostly like this while saying it — eyes askance, either pre-or-post hand on chin — a vibe, nay, a mood that she carried throughout most of the debate.
