ABC News is just giddy it thinks it just did a fabulous job and oh my goodness you know we we've we've handed her the White House right listen to this the commentary coming out of their mouths moments after this whole thing had finished and we are here live on ABC with our post debate comments I'm Martha Ritz it was a lively debate from the economy to abortion to Afghanistan they had it all and it was a historic John Carl fiery wow wow wow that was that was quite a debate uh and I'm Jonathan Carl here with of course Mary Bruce and Rachel Scott our reporters across the news Divi division have been updating our live blog looking at some of the allegations made back and forth doing fact checks you can find all of that on abcnews.com but I would like to replay the moment at the very start of this debate because it was quite a moment the handshake and if you look have a good see have fun thank you I mean wait a moment first of all cuz we hadn't seen a handshake we Haven seen a handshake in a long time she initiated that one not only did she magnanimous she walked over to him and sought him out put Dan out and also made the first words and and probably had a plan if he hadn't his hand out either interesting so so more at the bottom line what did you think I I think clearly what KLA Harris wanted to do was be the candidate of Hope the candidate of the future Donald Trump seemed angry within four minutes are you kidding me how is that hope how is that the future she's just really mean and way off topic but let's keep going they're going to keep congratulating themselves here this Mar lady I think we we saw him going from from very serious at the beginning never really seemed to look at her uh to I loved that by the way I loved that he didn't look at her because if you looked at her body language she was flipping out all outrageous it wasn't until she kind of hit her groove after she kind of needled him about people leaving his rallies which is bogus right like she's just making it up trying trying it was one thing after another plus the host I mean what a mess just angry I mean really yelling at some points trying to make to to make his points I don't think we heard a lot of policy and plans on either of oh that's the moderator's fault that would be ABC News and your lack of editorial judgment Martha maybe you should have hosted that debate that uh despite those questions over and over again but what you had was that optic you had KLA Harris looking over baiting him again and again and again uh the microphones were muted when they weren't speaking but many times she didn't need a microphone you watch Donald Trump get mad uh and scowl through things and you know John we were all talking leading up to this about how this would go what Donald Trump you would see I think he had a plan for talking about what he saw as as as a next as a next term but then he was talking about uh rumors about people eating their neighbors pets so in really we're going to follow up on that because they're not entirely rumors there's like a 911 call I want you to see and hear subscribe to the show remember hit the like button share write comments I'm going to get to all of your comments here at the end um this is very very big day and there's this accusation that he's coming across is angry well tell me how you would feel all right if you go into a debate with the best of intentions and they promise you and promise you we promise we'll be fair and then they do what they did and KLA Harris refuses to answer any question she spouts lie after lie after lie nobody corrects her and then the next thing you know you got David and Lindsay coming right at you straight for the jugular I mean tell tell me how you would feel I have more on that in a second but I'll tell you this I don't think he was very happy I think it probably did anger him slightly I think that that was reflected going forward if he does one of these things again my advice is whatever it's like in one ear and out the other you don't have to respond to everything just keep going back and putting her on the defensive cuz her record all right like it's really bad like she has nothing to run on so how dare she put you when you're the one who actually grew the economy grew middle class wages and jobs I mean we hadn't grown by that much adjusted for inflation since 1950s that's something pretty darn spectacular and yet she's putting him on the defensive alongside the anchors
