Julian Zelizer : Kamala Harris did to Donald Trump what Donald Trump did to Joe Biden .

Zelizer says she broke her opponent on a debate stage in Philadelphia .

He says the key to defeating Trump is to trigger him psychologically.

Trump 's rhetoric became more extreme, at times taking flight from reality, he says.

She appealed to unity, inviting Americans to “turn the page” on a man who belittles the country.

She worked to insulate herself against charges that she’s a left-wing radical.

She returned time and again to the argument that Trump cares only for himself.

Two minutes later , after a closing statement, he exited the stage, into the shadows, a broken man atop a broken campaign.
