Opinion | Chris Christie: I’ve Debated Trump 6 Times. Here’s What Harris Needs to Do Tonight.
The New York Times ^ | September 10, 2024 | Chris Christie

Posted on 09/10/2024 4:50:51 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

A former governor of New Jersey and a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 and 2024.

Tens of millions of Americans will be watching the first debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on Tuesday night. Many of these folks will be Republicans and independents who, like me, have decided that they are unwilling to vote for Mr. Trump.

I’ll be honest: I don’t have much of an opinion of Ms. Harris yet, because I don’t know her well. If she’s an unknown quantity to me, you can bet she’s also one to the countless everyday Americans she needs to win over. These voters love this country, and many of them will be looking at her on Tuesday night for the first time as a potential president.

Which is why the debate presents a critical opportunity for Ms. Harris. The opportunity for Mr. Trump is much smaller. The country already knows him and has, in the main, formed opinions of him. Because Ms. Harris is a relatively undefined political candidate, she has both the advantage and the bigger challenge.

She needs to demonstrate a commitment to changing not just the way we talk to one another, but the very way we must steer our governance on a more productive path. For Republicans and independents who do not support Mr. Trump, this is how she earns their vote. They want to be for something, not just against someone.

I’ve debated Mr. Trump six times and I’d wager I’ve participated in at least 30 debate prep sessions with him since 2016. No one has more experience in the arena listening to his attacks and debunking them than I have.

The New Jersey Fatman wasn’t even a sparring partner for the 45th President in any debates.

He’s heavy bag material and that’s it.

All the worst Republicans seem to really love communist Democrats. Just proof that they are Uniparty members in good standing. If anything defines the age we live in its American citizens vs. the District of Corruption.
