A few watchwords of Tuesday night's presidential debate in Philadelphia were "same," "old" and "tired."
"I’m going to tell you on this debate tonight, you’re going to hear from the same old, tired playbook, a bunch of lies, grievances and name-calling," Vice President Kamala Harris said in the first few moments of the debate. It was a response to Donald Trump's first comments and she didn't portray him as scary, so much as sad. After he let loose with another round of lies about January 6, she said, "perhaps we do not have, in the candidate to my right, the temperament or the ability to not be confused about fact."
