2027 will be the year. America will be at war in the Pacific and she’ll be the President. God save us all.

I'd rather have her as CiC in wartime than Trump.

Last night put on vivid display some of his worst traits as an executive. He's easily manipulated and has trouble controlling his emotional responses. He's so narcissistically self-confident (and averse to doing things he doesn't like doing) that he avoids preparation, even in circumstances where preparation is critical - so he ends up winging things on the fly, rather than doing the work to be ready for critical moments. And he latches onto conspiracies and false theories (Haitian immigrants are eating the cats, I really won in 2020) whenever it matches what he wants to be true.

That's why Harris was able to destroy him in the debate. His weaknesses are obvious and easily exploited. He's unwilling to put in the effort to defend against those exploits, and perhaps simply unable to do so. This was an obvious move by Harris - by all accounts, Trump's advisors all told him to expect that she would try to needle him and tried to give him the tools he would need to avoid getting caught up in it. Instead, he fell into every single trap she laid for him.

He's got one response to nearly everything - never admit that anything negative has happened, and counterattack as forcefully as possible. That's served him well in a lot of contexts. But in conflicts where he doesn't get to set the terms of the engagement, an opponent can easily arrange circumstances so that it's a crippling defect rather than a beneficial tactic.
