 The Trump/Harris debate reminded me a lot of the Trump/Clinton debates of 2016.

1. Harris probably persuaded more inconsequential voters.
2. Trump specifically targeted a few high-value voters. (Fracking, et al)
3. Harris stuck to script, said nothing unique that isn’t said on MSNBC 100x a day. 
4. Trump got ahead of his skis on a few stories which are built on under reported, but known truths. (Eating cats, “Post-Birth abortions”)

I expect in the next few days several left wing media outlets will spill their guts out on what is actually going on in places like Springfield, in an attempt to discredit Trump, while revealing their hand about how immigration is impacting the locals there.

Same thing happened when Trump said Hillary & Obama “created Isis”.
