Vice President Kamala Harris is holed up for five days in a Pittsburgh hotel, doing highly choreographed debate practice sessions ahead of Tuesday night’s clash. There’s a stage and replica TV lighting and an adviser in full Lee Strasberg method-acting mode, not just playing Donald J. Trump but inhabiting him, wearing a boxy suit and a long tie.
The former president’s preparations are more improv. They are pointedly called not “debate prep” but “policy time,” meant to refresh him on his record. Nobody is playing Ms. Harris; sometimes his aides sit at a long table opposite him and bat questions back and forth, or other times he pulls up a chair closer to them. Mr. Trump has held just a handful of sessions so far, interrupting one at his Las Vegas hotel so he and his advisers could go up to his suite to watch Ms. Harris’s convention speech.
While the two camps’ preparations for the big night in Philadelphia could not be more different, both sides view the debate the same way, according to interviews with nearly two dozen people close to the candidates, many of whom insisted on anonymity to discuss the private preparations. The Harris and Trump teams see it as a crucial moment to define Ms. Harris for millions of swing voters who know what they think about Mr. Trump but are still curious about her.
Bringing out Mr. Trump’s most self-destructive instincts is a priority for Ms. Harris, as is coming across as coolheaded and presidential.
“She should not be baited, she should bait him,” Hillary Clinton, the last woman to debate Mr. Trump, said in an interview on Thursday. “When I said he was a Russian puppet, he...”

All Harris has are insults, she has NO agenda to run on except the communist agenda..All Trump has to do is stand there and say “If you want to spend 90 minutes insulting me that’s fine..for 3 1/2 yrs your administration has been nothing more than an insult to the American people, open borders, crime, inflation, botched Afghanistan withdrawals, I will stand here today and explain to the American people how I am going to fix things to make things better for EVERYONE!
Trump will Bidenize her. I predict a meltdown.
It takes four heads to write this kind of $hit? I bet it takes the four of them to screw in a light bulb too.
So nothing positive about Kamala. No uplifting vision for the country. Just “rattle Trump!”.
Excellent!
I need to add while standing up and with the mike on only when speaking.
She sat during the Pense debate. Her 5’2 will be dwarfed by Trump’s 6ft plus.
Joe Biden admitted that the Harris-Biden administration lied to you when they called it the Inflation Reduction Act in order to pass the Green New Deal. Kamala was the tie-breaking vote to get that bill passed, and then inflation shot through the roof.-PJNow she's running a campaign of forgetting about the past because she's responsible for it and what they did to you. She lied about passing the Green New Deal, she lied about Biden's health, she lied about her flip-flopping positions, and she's going to lie to you now just to get elected. And her running-mate Tim Walz lied about his entire adult life!
Don't fall for it. You know my record. You know my accomplishments. You know what they tried to do to me. Vote for Donald J. Trump for President.
She might have a nip or two before the main event.
He needs to look at old Reagan debates. They worked very well.
It’s okay - she is going to screw it up anyway.
So bait him by spouting the most outrageous lie you can imagine? That cuts both ways too, and President Trump would nt have to even lie.
The risk is that she'll end up looking too much like Joe Biden. It's good to be nervous. So she'll be at the top of her game. If she can handle it.
I STILL WANT CLINT EASTWOOD & THE EMPTY CHAIR TO MODERATE.
“Which Kamala are you tonight...the black Kamala from Cabrini Green, or the Indian Kamala from the rich suburbs in Canada?
Harris has no experience to do this. She will be nervous even if not externally obvious.
Trump will be calm steady and informed.
The deep state will try their best, but it wont be enough to hide their commie candidate.
One would think it would be so easy to point to, 4 more years of him or 4 more years of me.
Which serves the American people better ?
I guess that is too obvious
This 💩 didn’t come from their heads, it came from the other end.🙄
