The Republican nomineeā€™s temperament was exactly the scenario that his advisers were reportedly worried about.

Former President Donald Trumpā€™s volume slowly but surely ratcheted up over the first hour of the debate on Tuesday. He started off relatively calm, but as Vice PresidentĀ Kamala HarrisĀ needled him on his rallies, his standing in the world, andĀ his legal troubles, he eventually blew up.

There was no sign of him calming down as the debate hit the home stretch and, as a result, his answers began falling apart, drifting into the sameĀ disjointed, incoherent rantingĀ that Harris invited people to watch at his rallies.

        As a former prosecutor, she knows that letting a dumb defendant talk is how you win cases fast.
