#1 priority in debates...make sure the candidate does not sweat like Nixon did in debates with JFK. Place a concealed fan under the podium. It is summer time.
#2 Never look at your watch during debates. Roger Ailes forgot to teach that to Bush-41 who looked at his wrist watch a few times, giving impression he was bored.
#3 Make sure Trump never answers a gotcha question. Instead he must pivot into republican talking points.
#4 Attack the media moderator for bias. This art is perfected by Newt.
#5 Focus attacks on Hillary’s most vulnerable issues which are many. Libya, ISIS, Hillarycare, Obamacare, Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, 550% increase in Syrian refugees, Rose law firm missing records turning up in White House, her votes on 300 tax increases, her keeping health records hidden, Clinton foundation links with Dept of State and foreign donations, sudden jump in Clinton’s speaking fees after she became SOS, 97% of her charitable donations went to Clinton foundation, Only 10% of Clinton foundation money goes to actual charity with other 9% used for luxury travel, luxury restaurants and salaries.
It is quite likely that Hillary will be coached on her softball questions pre-debate (as is par for the course for her) while Trump will be served up unexpected hard balls intended to embarrass him.
Trump’s team should require that all questions put to the candidates be pre-screened questions for both candidates.
If they try to screw him during the debate with a flyer, have him point out the fact that the question wasn’t on the “witness list” as agreed, and then he can talk for his allotted time about anything he wants to talk about ...
e.g. “Why is Mrs. Clinton’s dead left eye staring straight ahead while she looks to the right?”
