He’s never been a politician who sought out the limelight - everything Minnesota has done in this historic year of progressive legislation and policy has been relatively quiet. He’s not on the road jockeying for the latest sound byte on CNN or some podcast - he’s working to implement the policies people want. He’s tweeting about Mountain Dew. He’s at the state fair eating fried food and talking to his constituents. This is the governor we know. A man who cares deeply about the work he does and the people he represents, not the fame, not the clicks.

Harris definitely could have answered questions about policies better, however after thinking about it a little more I think I have an idea of why she didn't.

She had two options:

Talk about her policies and beliefs, and allow Trump to basically do the same thing he did during the last debate, which was to calmly spew out his rehearsed lies and bullshit without sending up any red flags.

Forego direct answers to poke the dragon in the eye, rile him up and show the American people who they're voting for instead of trying to just tell them. She opted to get under his skin and expose him, showing the people who praised him during the last debate how he fares against a (no offense Biden) capable opponent.

I mean, she poked him into a ridiculous, unhinged rant about people eating pets in Springfield Smithfield? What? I was watching the whole time, I was (regrettably) sober and I still could not even begin to make heads or tails of that tangent. Frankly, I'll call that a win.
