Let's say she did have an earpiece in. Why should I be mad about it? Every speech a president ever gives is going to be read from a teleprompter and written by a staffer.
Theoretically, debates are supposed to be off-the-cuff. But like I said to someone else, even if beneath the podium, Frank Oz was controlling her because she's really a Muppet... that didn't force him to say anything about immigrants eating dogs and he knows because he saw it on TV.
Exactly this. Kamala Harris didn't necessarily WIN, so much as Donald Trump wadded the whole debate up and threw it in the fireplace. She made some arguably-innocuous jabs and Trump got INCREDIBLY bent out of shape about it, and looked incredibly unprofessional and non-presidential yelling about how immigrants were eating dogs and Democrats were executing babies in the ER.
