He apparently thought he could bully her. He underestimated her.

Nichole said she exceeded all expectations.

But all TFG did was interrupt and speak over everybody and argue with the moderators and I've already heard more than enough from him. But I do agree with Nicolle and the rest of the MSNBC hosts that Kamala Harris did a stellar job.

She lured him in with the carrot, then whipped him like a naughty child with the belt.

tRump is gullible to anyone who feeds his ego or pays him with power, money, glitz or lavish bribes.

The turd is volatile to any one who does not worship him. Thus you have the makings of a brutal, lunatic tyrant.
