Ed Luce Praises Harris’ Debate Performance: She Has the Measure of Donald Trump
EXCERPT:
LUCE: “Well, of course, as we know, Joe, he doesn't want to debate her because he's already won. And she's desperate because she lost so badly to debate again. And it's extraordinary line that Trump has stuck to since -- since then. But she has the measure of him. You remember back to Tuesday night, I think the moment where it really started to unravel for Trump was when she talked about his crowd sizes and invited people to watch him, unique thing in the history of presidential debates to watch their opponents rallies and watch how people leave during the rally and yawn and get bored. And that, I think, was where Trump's head started to be really messed with, and he never got it back. Because Kamala Harris had really done her research on him. His foundational myth, really, of his presidency was the size of his inauguration crowd in 2017, something that, you know, he said on day one, a direct lie was far bigger than the one Obama had had. And so this has been a sort of it's his gateway myth. You know once you sort of go through the I've got the largest crowds in history, then all the other myths flow from that. So she had the measure of him.”
