I love the strategy of talking down to him like he is a child, knowing full well that he is going to respond like a child.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 71 points 10 months ago

He really went off the rails after she started talking about his crowds leaving rallies early.

[-] ef9357@lemmy.sdf.org 42 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

And his facial expressions while he wasn’t speaking? I honestly had a hard time telling if he was trying to troll her like he did Hillary or if he was constipated.

It’s like he doesn’t know what to do with his face if his mouth isn’t moving.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 36 points 10 months ago

It's a "pretend to understand and be authoritative" face. Once I had a boss who was woefully underqualified and he made that face all the time.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Yep, the classic sign of ‘I don’t know what you’re on about, I was just a yes man for years and got the job’

[-] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 6 points 10 months ago

I noticed the lack of comprehension several times. I could easily pick out which individual words she said that he doesn’t know, because he has absolutely no self control.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Apparently, based on one newscast I've seen, he was told that instead of losing his temper out loud, he should make faces at her that show his anger.

So he decided to lose his temper out loud and made stupid faces the rest of the time.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Why aren’t we talking about that more? That face was sooo weird, like is he a cartoon character now?

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 51 points 10 months ago

He literally said he can't tell a difference between how he is now and how he was in first grade.

He actually doesn't know that adults aren't supposed to act like six year olds.

[-] DrPop@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

So according to his logic, his racism "40" years ago with the central park 5, and his behavior now is indistinguishable. Sounds about right.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 124 points 10 months ago

She had to get that "fired" line in. She knew that would get under his skin.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 68 points 10 months ago

Not only that, but it does meaningfully reframe losing an election into an easily digestible soundbyte for uninformed voters

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

which soundbite? lol. I can think of at least 3

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 34 points 10 months ago

Unsurprising that a prosecutor knows how to get people to act like an ass in front of a jury of their peers.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago

Did she say this in the debate?

Don't be silly

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 6 points 10 months ago

Worth watching the whole thing, honestly.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

I tried but I just can't listen to that man like that.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago

My favorite moment was her introducing herself so formally.

It was also a slick way to correct him on how her name is said.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

I wanted her to bait him into a handshake then withdraw out of disrespect but alas we can't have her pushing the bully back too hard while courting the low-info swing voter, I guess. So this was a pretty great alternative.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Well a certain decorum is befitting to the position they’re in, so I’m glad to see one candidate that understands that.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

I mean he doesn't know how to pronounce her name. I think she figured this would be a good time to do it lol.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I missed this. I think I came in late. Does anyone have a clip of that?

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

As per my previous email...

She straight up called him an idiot to a national audience and if I die too young I hope it's with that memory in my head.

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 10 months ago

She straight up called him an idiot

We've been doing it for decades. She did it in language he gets. It showed more than it ever has before.

[-] profdc9@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

It's a great line, but it's also kind of tragic that these kind of soundbites are how we decide who is commander and chief of the armed forces.

[-] JuBe@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

There’s a lot more to deciding the president than this… this was just cathartic.

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Nixon lost the 1960 election to Kennedy in part due to how he looked during the first televised debate.

while I agree with you and would love to have policy be the main driver of people's decisions, elections are unfortunately more about likability than policy for most voters.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

It's always been this way to some degree.

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 17 points 10 months ago
[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Holy shit, is that why his two dumb ass sons always have that 'I have a raging clue' face going on?

[-] Alenalda@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

why does it always look like hes wearing someone else's face

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 11 points 10 months ago

I figure it's the spray-tan which doesn't go on right next to the eyes.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

He had only one of three expressions anytime she was talking, and it was fucking creepy all on its own.

  • I want to fuck the cameraman (seen in OP)
  • I want the cameraman to fear me greatly (such as seen in his famous mugshot)
  • Punchable, fake, practiced smile (as seen in some common Trump memes)
[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

You also forgot.

  • Demented muppet

Unless you are classifying that under one of the others.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

That might be fake smile one. This one?

[-] lengau@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago

The way his skinsuit slides around on him I wonder if he's a very small Slitheen.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Because even after all these years and having all that staff he still doesn't know how to apply nake up right.

[-] bitwolf@lemmy.one 12 points 10 months ago

I was cracking up at the choice use of "fired" in this comebsck

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Had there been a more savage moment in a debate? Has anyone been shot at one? I am afraid to Google it

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago

“Please proceed, Governor” was a good one.
