A good debate for prosecutor Kamala Harris

Judging by the ABC TV debate between the two presidential candidates, Kamala Harris stuck to her brief pretty rigidly and Donald Trump wavered off course, goaded by the woman next to him who dared to highlight his bad record. It was certainly Kamala's night. She came out on top and perhaps for the first time showed that she had the hutzpah to be the next president. She was tough and clear and decisive. Trump looked pretty put out. He had clearly hoped to diminish her in every way but failed. This doesn't mean she is guaranteed the keys to the Oval Office but Trump will have gone away with the awful thought in his mind that he might not win. That would mean two defeats in a row, never mind his claim he beat Joe Biden in 2020. He didn't and everyone bar him and a few other loyalists accept that. I doubt he will want another TV debate although Kamala said she is happy to do more. The Democrats will be cock-a-hoop. They have gone from having a candidate who could hardly get his words out, let alone his thoughts, during his debate session with Trump to an articulate woman with stars in her eyes. Yes, it was a good night for Kamala and a good night for the Democrats.
