After a boxer leaves the ring bloodied and dejected, the first thing he does is ask for a rematch - a "do-over." When a golfer hits the ball into the woods, if it is possible, the first thing a golfer (like me) asks for is a mulligan.

Well, Vice President Kamala Harris would like another debate. Former President Donald Trump had offered three debates weeks ago, but she failed to respond.

The Democrats' strategy was to get under Trump's skin. They did so not by discussing ways to achieve peace and prosperity for America but by focusing on matters like "crowd size" and how "Black is Harris." Well, to a degree, Harris accomplished that with the help of the biased moderators.

Trump, however, controlled himself and treated her with respect, knowing that if he did not, that would be the story in the days after the debate. However, Harris did not have an answer to nearly all of the main issues.

Harris's secondary strategy was to attack Trump's weaknesses. Bizarre anecdotes like the story about immigrants eating cats, the Capitol riot on January 6, Trump's indictments, and who won the 2020 election.

Trump handled the baiting and relentless poking as well as one could. Attacking a woman does not go over well in U.S. politics - just ask Rick Lazio who did that to Hilary Clinton during a Senate race.

You have to defend yourself by using the issues as your attack tool. And Trump, to the dismay of the liberal media, did that skillfully, leaving Harris as the "smiling" but........
