you can expect her to look at him and respond, "What the heck are you trying to say . . . You make no sense whatsoever."

She is sharp as a tack and he is a one-trick pony spouting the same nonsense all the time in his meandering way. She would call him on all his lies. The whole lot of them are very afraid right now. They should be.

in a direct way,

I love it that Harris and of course, Buttigieg, aren’t messing around.

They are calling out the quacking, walking,duck.

first of all. He is out there doing strong interviews left and right. He has Kamala's back. This is just one of the many reasons I want him for VP. Second, he's absolutely right. Trump is scared out of his pants to debate Harris. Harris will wipe the floor with him in a debate and Trump knows it.

Do you think he's real? Do you know he's a cannibal? Do you think the people seeking asylum in the US are actually escapees from the looney bin? Do you know asylum has two meanings?

So many options to derail him - and he knows it.
