An Editorial Opinion
Last night’s presidential debate was something special to watch. For the first time since Donald Trump came down the escalator in Trump Tower in August 2015 and announced he was running for president, an opponent stood on the debate stage who had the skills, substance, style, and courage to thoroughly kick his ass during a presidential debate.
Kamala Harris used her prosecutorial skills to kick the ass of a ruthless bully -- a man who has gratutitously degraded, humiliated, and destroyed the dignity of countless opponents for the presidency. Harris administered a good, old-fashion, non-stop, ass-kicking to Trump, from the beginning to the end.
Anybody who thinks otherwise is living in an alternative, re-imaged, reality.
This was the kind of ass-kicking a prosecutor administers to a criminal when she stands up for the victims of his serial crimes. Harris completely discombobulated this bully, who has made a career out of trashing people -- solely because he could.
Say what you will about Kamala Harris’s positions on the policy issues covered during the debate, but she showed the courage that a coward like Ted Cruz lacked when Donald Trump called his wife “ugly” and trashed Cruz'a father during the 2016 presidential debates.
Harris showed the courage that Marco Rubio lacked when Trump pissed in Rubio’s face, belitttled his stature as a Cuban American, and mocked Rubio during the 2016 debate night.
Harris showed the courage that Lindsey Graham lacked when Trump described how Graham would drop to his knees and perform political fellatio on Trump when begging for campaign contributions.
Finally, Harris showed Nikki Haley, a fellow American of color, how to fight a bully by standing up for the people you profess to love, including your husband and his military service.
The nation was thirsty for a presidential candidate who would check Donald Trump and his non-stop bullying. Last night, Kamala Harris quenched that thirst.
No wonder Donald Trump exited the stage after the debate without shaking Kamala Harris’s hand. He's a sore, bitter, loser!
Congratulations to Kamala Harris for a job well done!
