As elected official myself, this commentary is so healing because you’re so right it was EXTREMELY frustrating listening to a man like him specifically call a woman like her “a disgrace” and she’s “so bad”. Policy disagreements are just that but calling an educated, decorated, dedicated public servant “so bad” and claiming world leaders think of her poorly. Whew baby the projection.

Bro was SPIRALING in real time!! The handshake definitely set the tone & he never recovered. We love to see it!

There were SO many things she let slide, like his out of pocket comment on her father. But she knew what she was doing and let him show his ass without losing his cool. Very gratifying. My older son watched and while I wasn't sure about letting him do so I was glad he did so he could see with his own eyes why we believe what we believe about TFG.

Violet was "watching" (mostly to stall bedtime) and interestingly enough was nodding along when Kamala was speaking. Like, even the babies know!!

*rump is unhinged, unqualified and dangerous. While there are a million policy issues that should make the choice very clear, this election isn't about policies or even qualifications... it's about the survival of our democracy.

Amen. And for ABC + Vance afterwards to each have the gall to criticize the lack of detail in her plans...when Tr*mp just bloviated for 90+ minutes without sharing even a concept of a plan.

"I have concepts of a plan" is still baffling to me!!
