Was it perfect? Nope. I just figured with her intelligence, experience, and candor vs his narcissism, arrogance and lack of intelligence--she was going to outshine him. Bringing up the crowd sizes is a guaranteed knee jerk reaction. Talking head quote "The mask is slipping with Donald Trump."
She looked and sounded presidential and to quote Van Jones: "She successfully, baited him and then spanked his ass multiple times." She should have spoken more on her actual policies but she tricked him numerous times and got him off this game. The talking heads said that within the first 4 minutes--she had already gotten under his skin and he never really got back on track. In a nutshell, she rattled him. They also praised her opening statement because she said: You are going to hear a bunch of lies and half truths from him. And then when it was her time to speak, she simply said--see, ass I told you, that's what we were all in for!
Kamala = B+
tRUMP = C-
Majority polls I've seen named her as the winner. I just wish she hit him harder on the stuff he said about her race.
