‘An Absolute Stunner!’ CNN’s John Berman Gushes Kamala Harris ‘Laid The Traps’ And Trump ‘Jumped In Bigly’
CNN anchor John Berman gushed that Vice President Kamala Harris trounced Trump in an “absolute stunner” of a debate in which Harris laid traps and Trump “jumped in bigly!”
Trump and VP Harris met for the first time on the debate stage in Philadelphia Tuesday night for the ABC News debate, which quickly turned contentious and escalated from there. Trump raged and Harris dug at trigger points in a battle that near-universally was judged an overwhelming victory for Harris and a “disaster” for Trump.
On Wednesday morning’s edition of CNN News Central, Berman opened the show by rattling off descriptions of the debate that were devastating for Trump:
JOHN BERMAN: An abs-olute stunner of a presidential debate! And now the question: will there be another?
Broad consensus that Kamala Harris laid the traps — Donald Trump jumped in bigly!
And breaking overnight, Taylor Swift makes the endorsement millions have been waiting for.
…
JOHN BERMAN: This morning– So this might be what happens when you have a plan!
The reviews are in from Punchbowl News. “Harris Triggers Trump. And it unraveled from there.”.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board, “the president let her rattle him. She won the debate.”.
The New York Times “Kamala Harris craftily exploited her opponent’s biggest weakness, not his record, not his divisive policies, not his history of inflammatory statements. Instead, she took aim at a far more primal part of him: his ego.”.
And from the former speechwriter for President Reagan and George H.W. Bush, John Podhoretz, quote, “He cleaned his own clock. And when he didn’t, she cleaned his clock. And when she didn’t. Muir And David, he means Davis, cleaned his clock. In the end, his clock was cleaned. He smudged her clock face a little.”
This is some of what transpired.
