Vice President Kamala Harris will apparently favor attacks on former President Donald Trump rather than “substance” at the September 10 ABC News presidential debate, according to a report.
NBC News reported late Thursday on Harris’s plan, which centers around trying to agitate Trump:
A source told NBC News that while Harris’ team is preparing to talk about a variety of topics, the campaign very much views the optics of the debate as critically important. To that end, the source said, Harris and her team are focusing on homing in on how to needle Trump to rattle him.
In that sense, the source said, it’s going to be less about substance and more about showcasing Harris as a woman who isn’t scared and isn’t going to cower and who is standing up to Trump and holding him accountable.

Democrats have absolutely no record they can run on - none. So vision or policy are out.
Ask any Democrat why they support Harris (and Biden before) it is always, 1) They hate Trump, and 2) They want to abort their children. That’s it.
As many have pointed out, as they did in 2020, Democrats are again focused on making this all about Trump. The corrupt MSM keep slinging the sleaze on behalf of their Democrat partners, and Democrats then pound the personality of Trump. That’s their entire campaign. No policy, no vision, again, just “I’m not Trump”.
She isn’t confronted because she is the blob’s favored candidate. Nobody talked about Hillary Clinton’s escapades either. Bill got a little more scrutiny, but he could have got a lot more.
comes across as the hysterical woman…
“Que Mala” translates simply to “How Bad!” Per my nonGringo friends.
If this is what the Camel Toe (hoe) is planning, then Trump (if he can keep his temper and cool) has an opportunity to stick to policy, be Presidential and show voters who the adult is in the room. He can remind voters that Camel Toe has not clear policy details from which the public can decide who will do the most to help the Country in the next 4 years.
If, heaven forbid, Kamala becomes President, she won't have to meet Putin or Xi--she can send War Hero Tim Walz.
I do not believe that for one second.
Most of the voting public does not care one bit about policies. They vote based upon the match between the image of who they believe themselves to be and a very superficial perceived image which establishes what they believe the candidate to be.
We (the readers of this forum) might care about policies. We are very small percentage of the population in an echo chamber of like-minded people. We had best keep this in mind.
We are in a battle of images, more than substance. The only policy discussions that mean anything to most people are ones that clearly explain "what's in it for me?". The Democrats work on promising an endless supply of "free stuff" paid for by "somebody else". The Democrats also work on promising "We will punish the people that you do not like".
It is all lies, but a lot of people want to believe the lies. That is the problem we are facing.
What have the Republicans got? The best we have is: "You get to keep your stuff", and: "We will stop others from taking your stuff". Also: "We will leave you alone to run your own life as you see fit". That appeals to a completely different audience than the one to which the Democrats are playing. It is also a smaller audience.
Trump can benefit by focusing attention on a few economic policies. He must also throw into the mix some straight-up character attacks of opportunity that make Harris look bad to her supporters. It is about breaking the match between Democrat voters self-image and their perception of Kamala Harris.
Democrats like to believe they are smarter and better informed and have higher morality than the rest of the public. Seeing that Harris does not match up with that image will be devastating to them. Many will stay home and may not vote at all
One thing that may convert some Democrat votes into Republican voters is that the Democrats have sold out their historic base of Blacks and Working-class men in favor of large corporate and billionaire donors. They have also sold out their wealthy Jewish backers in favor of Muslims. The Democrat party has become extremely anti-Jewish and Jews ignore this at deadly peril.
Or maybe the Jews didn't really mean it when they said, "Never Again!". We are about to find out.
Another item which may convert some Democrat voters into Republican voters is the ongoing deterioration of the American economy. "Are you better off now than you were five years ago?" The answer is clearly "No" for anybody who buys gas, or groceries, or pays utility bills. And what a concept: "Women and Minorities hardest hit by inflation". Followed by: "Inflation is caused by government spending more than it can possibly collect in taxes". "Government spending benefits small groups at the expense of everybody else." "The Democrats are not your friends." "The Democrats will raise your taxes and give the money to their cronies".
Trump must have a positive alternative for every attack he makes on Democrat economics. For every negative image he can invoke of his opponent, he must also have a positive image he can display for himself.
How this can be worked into the "debate" is a matter of improvisation and fast thinking as much as preparation. Trump has a potentially decisive advantage here.
My bet is that Kamala Harris will contrive some excuse to back out of the debate at the last minute. Her sponsors are evil, but they are not stupid. They do not need or want Harris to fail in a public debate the way that Biden failed.

If, heaven forbid, Kamala becomes President, nothing else will matter because the US will have fully entered into the prophesied Idiocracy.
What accent will she be using?
Trump is onto their tactics. Open mics or not, with this fool Kamala, all he has to do is get his plans out for America and let her yammer on with personal attacks like the jackass that she is.
I believe it is more or less that she owns Biden/Harris policies and isn’t good at articulating policy anyway. So they will resort to their usual TDS manufactured hate and lies and hope Trump will attack her so she can act all upset about it and do her shame sham she always likes to do.
It whips up the pussy hat crowd and the government controlled media.
This is a really good chance for Trump to get some of his positive policy out on TV to people who only use old time alphabet news.
Kamillary. You know Hillary and hot sauce and Kammie..
Who broadcasts their debate strategy ahead of the debate? Is NBC trustworthy?
