I just heard that Kamala Harris was asked how she'd have reacted if the

CONvicted felon had hovered over her the way he did over Hillary in 2016. Apparently her response way back during the 2020 campaign was that she’d ask him why he was being…..drumroll…..SO WEIRD😂😀😂

Hillary should have stopped TSF "GET THE HELL BACK TO YOUR PODIUM!!" but she thought she'd just ignore him. It was hard to watch. I think she truly wanted to show that she thought he was just acting like the asshole he was and she was going to rise above it. Now we know we need another way to hold him up to ridicule with "You know, Donald, you really need to seek professional help for your condition."

He has only a couple of modes of debate.

As a DUer pointed out, one is called Gish Gallup. He spews forth lies after lie after BS, in a never ending stream of bile. Trying to get as much nonsense out before his time is up. Like at the debate with Biden.

The other mode is insults and aggressive tones. Like at the NABJ interview.

Both of these are easily handled if you are ready for them. He can't argue facts or any real policy issues.

She knows pedo Trump will not be courteous or follow proper debating rules, unlike Hillary, who tried to address pedo Trump like a normal person. So, as a former prosecutor, she knows how to be prepared and how to sway an audience with facts.

So, I would love to see her "debate" the pedo as long as it's not at Fox with a Rush Limpball audience.

..."when they go low, we go high" doesn't always work.

It's a great slogan, but some people, like Trump and his cultists, are immune to it. It only works on those who have enough human decency to be embarrassed by their own bad behavior. The Orange Hellbeast is proud of his!

others,women in particular.
Since he indulges in this behavior publicly,one can only imagine his behavior privately.

A response could be,

"Mr. Trump,do you lord over Mrs. Trump in this fashion?
You're not at home and I'm not she."
