Moira Donegan sums up Kamala Harris' on Trump last night:

'Her debate performance was meant to convey the message that Trump’s imbecilic cruelty was not so formidable, not so scary, not so inevitable as Americans have resigned themselves to thinking it was – that it was laughable, small – and that it could be defeated'!

Reactions online seem to suggest she succeeded.... but winning a TV debate ins one thing, navigating the electoral college is something else

The bar was low for him, but Donald Trump still didn’t manage to clear it

In his first debate with Kamala Harris, the ex-president was reduced to a rambling, incoherent, lie-filled litany of grievances
