Donald Trump ‘better tighten his chin strap’: James Carville
Newsnation ^ | Sep 9, 2024 / 09:41 PM CDT | Anna Kutz

Posted on 09/10/2024 7:25:32 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville tells “Dan Abrams Live” that former President Donald Trump needs to get his game face on because he’s “hearing good things out of Pittsburgh” about Vice President Kamala Harris‘ debate preparation.

“I think she is very well prepared. I think she’s coming with a game. And I don’t, I don’t know what’s going on in Trump world, but he better tighten his chin strap, because she’s coming after him,” Carville said.

He called Trump a “totally known entity” and emphasized the focus of the debate will be the nation’s first look at Harris on the hunt.

“I think tomorrow night is very critical,” Carville added. “By the way, I hate to say this, but I expect her to do very well.”

Hogan Gidley, a former White House deputy press secretary in the Trump administration, thinks the GOP nominee will win the Tuesday debate because of Harris’ overly prepared responses.

“I will say James is right 100% about the vice president. Kamala Harris will have all of the contrived, rehearsed lines ready to go after Donald Trump,” Gidley said.

But, countered Carville, who doesn’t practice for a presidential debate?

“That’s the most asinine charge I’ve ever heard against a political campaign. You think we don’t all get together and debate prep?” he asked.

I think he frustrates her but not enough.

You never know though. She might get really angry when he goes off on her about inflation.

I am sure she has had the questions for a week. She has been rehearsing the answers.

I even think they are letting the polls skew toward Trump being up.

They are down playing Kamala debating skills.

So when she finishes the Debate no matter how poorly she does.

They can say she really out performed and by magic she will take a huge jump in the polls over Trump.

Kamala was a poor student in college (Howard U). Otherwise she would have gone to a decent law school (not Hastings Law).

She's an intersectional Affirmative Action applicant for heaven's sake (female, black, Indian). If she had been a decent student, she could have gotten accepted to any good school.

And her staff says that she's notoriously unprepared for everything. Lazy, drunk/stoned, or all the above.

In his opening statement, President Trump should say, “Americans are desperate to be unburdened by what has been.”

So, if she has people that know how to win elections, why was she destroyed by Tulsi in a few sentences in 2016?

Kamala is TERRIBLE at thinking on her feet, she has shown this time and time again.

This isn’t an academic debate, where the subject is predetermined and limited before hand.

I’ve been around attorneys my entire life, and trust me, while there are some geniuses in the field, many are not remotely as smart as they think they are. Kamala definitely fits in the latter category... many have a lot more ego than ability.

Kamala has shown herself to be a lousy political debater. I have no doubt she’ll have her canned answers at the ready and her pre written zingers waiting to be used, but if the debate in any way requires her to think on her feet, she’ll fall apart.

Being a prosecuting or even a defense attorney, or sitting on a congressional committee, etc these are not remotely situations that are comparable.

Kamala is likely just going to try to attack Trump all day long... I’m sure the term “convicted felon” will be tossed about freely... as will all the other rhetoric, and all Trump has to do is just keep putting it back on her record, an failed economy, and failed border, and failed international policy.

Kamala can’t defend her policy because its terrible... Trump can pick apart her flip flops all day long...

All she has is, Orange Man Bad... and that’s not going to sway anyone or anything.

LIke I said, she’ll likely muddle through... and as long as she doesn’t complete collapse the media will try to say she delivered the best performance ever... because that’s how they play the game.

I’m sure she’ll try to goad Trump, and might even be successful.... Let’s face it that stupid exchange in the last debate over golf made both the candidates look like fools. However, Trump just has to keep pushing her record.

I am sure, and have no doubt their goal will be to try to goad Trump... and we shall see if they are able too... its really all they got. Trump however is Trump.. everyone knows who he is by this point... Kamala is not likely going to sway a single Trump voter to her side no matter how good she may do.

Only target market really out there are folks reluctant to commit to Trump... if she goads him into doing something foolish some of those might commit to her, but given other than the hard core dems, the few undecideds that are out there, all are very uncertain about her, she has much more to lose....

Trump wins those over by just pounder her record... she wins them by trying to convince the Trump is so bad, they need to just ignore whatever concerns they have about her and commit to her.

Either way, she doesn’t walk away in any better position even if she does her best. IMHO.

And personally, as I have said before, if she is forced in any way to have to think on the fly and not offer a canned pre-scripted answer, she will fall apart.

Remember when they actually defended and answered Obamas questions for him when he floundered during the debate, beyond ridiculous. They gave Hillary the questions in advance, I think it was Donna Brazille feeding them over to her pretending to be a CNN reporter.

I’m not sure who the bigger ‘blast from the past’ Clinton reprobate tool is, its either buffoonish James Carville or Godless Robert Reich both crawling out of their holes lately? Hard to choose.

President Trump is fighting for his freedom and independence for his very life and to derail the Marxist communists from taking over every office in this Nation, Harris is fighting just to keep from giggling.

I’m praying the Lord will rebuke this evil anti-Christ spirit rising up across our land.

Praying that it will be seen, let it be revealed, allow the curtain to be pulled back and let sleeping Americans see exactly what evil spirit is at work attempting to poison and overthrow their freedoms in the West.

It doesn’t matter how much Kamala “preps” for her duhbate. She has a record of nothing BUT failure, disaster and destruction and her revolving door of staff (people who dared to look her in the eyes?), as well as the fact that she has not received any votes to BE the presidential nominee, speaks for itself. The ‘only’ question will be... are there enough stupid and truly uninformed voters out there that willingly hold their noses and vote for her anyway... because...

you know... orange man bad.

The gaslighting and brainwashing campaign of Americans by the radical left may work yet to keep enough voters from supporting Trump vs. supporting the communists seeking to complete that “fundamental transformation” of America. Only time will tell. But I’m betting that the Marxists have a spectacular “October surprise” planned for us all... just to be sure.

“decent law school”

If you want to practice law in California, it probably helps to go to a California law school.

The source of Kamala’s problems can be seen in her bathroom mirror.

Don’t attack her schools. Schooling really only matters for the first couple months before and after graduation.

Trump needs to win votes from women and independents. Personal attacks are not the way to do that.

“Howard University-— now there’s a real powerhouse intellectual firepower, yes sireee bob— tremble tremble. What a stupid comment.”

If you show up and do the work, you will gain the benefit of a university education.

There are lots of very literate and smart black people.

By very wary of Jamaicans.

There are 9 law schools in CA better than Hastings (which is ranked #82 in law schools in the country).

And I didn't suggest that Trump should attack her school. I said she was a poor student and that suggests that it's probably too late to become good at debate by cramming for it.

quote:

Lualemaga’s “identification” of Trulove as the shooter was: “He looks like the person that could have shot [Kuka]” and “I want to say it’s him.”

between June 1, 2009, and April 30, 2011, Lualemaga and her immediate family received a total of $62,999 in living expenses. That does not include the nearly $10,000 worth of living expenses allegedly paid separately on behalf of her sister.

In 2015, the same prosecutor at the San Francisco DA’s office retried Trulove, but he was acquitted and walked free for the first time since his 2008 arrest. In April 2018, a federal civil jury awarded Trulove $10 million, finding that San Francisco police officers fabricated evidence against him and withheld exculpatory evidence. In March, the city’s Board of Supervisors approved a $13.1 million payment to settle the suit.
