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

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.

What happened to his wife? She sort of dropped off the radar at least 10 years ago.

I expect that, as usual, the Republican will be the clear winner of this debate, since Democrat policies are insane and their record is abysmal.

However, again as usual, it will be scored as a big win for the Democrat, since the fake news does the scoring.

The Trump v Biden debate was a fluke - the fake news admitted Biden lost as a way of ditching him for the younger woman of color. Don’t expect any evenhandedness this time.

Trump already debated their ("democracy" elected) Presidential candidate...and Biden pooped his pants.

Trump should have told this globalist hand-puppet (Harris) to go pluck a duck.

Everyone knows what games she's coming with. Talk about Trump all the time.

She wants to become the first female President based solely on her hectoring and complaining about the actions of a male President.

Yea, the woman who is running away from her record is going to “bring it”.

Trump Bad vs Look at the mess you’ve made

These people are delusional.

Kamala can’t even give a 60 second unscripted appearance over the release of hostages without sounding a fool.

IF she has to, in any way, think on her feet, she’ll collapse.

Now, the moderators certainly aren’t going to throw her any curve ball questions that will require her to think on her feet... and will do whatever they can to prop her up..

If she doesn’t totally collapse they’ll say she won... no matter how bad it is... however in reality, she has zero shot at beating Trump.

I don’t expect her to collapse, but she certainly could, especially if she ever has to actually face an unscripted, unprepared question of any sort. However, most likely she’ll just attack Trump, Trump will simply say look at the disaster you have wrought, and in the end nothing much will change.

We shall see.

This time, let’s put dog crap in the wastebasket next to Carville so that he’ll be reminded of what he is when he puts the wastebasket over his head.

Kamala’s “A” game is not even at the intramural college level.

Trump needs to be able to answer questions about:

2024 Democratic Party Platform
January 6th
election fraud and processes
claims made by others against him (Carroll, Smith, Bragg, various women)
possible retaliation by Trump
divorces
Supreme Court nominations
abortion
Heritage 2025
child care
$6,000 child credit
$25,000 downpayment
student loan paydowns/payoffs
DACA
immigration reforms
naturalization of invaders
deportation of invaders
Temporary Protected Status
asylum
Muslim immigration
Muslim protests
Gaza
Israel (US support, settlements)
climate claims
green follies (windmills, CO2 storage)
teacher pay
policing
equal pay for same/different work
economic inequality
housing affordability
zoning
slavery reparations

Trump needs to promote benefits of:

Make American Great Again
border security
peacemaking skills (Ukraine, Sudan, Korea)
anti-terrorism skills
domestic energy production
affordable electricity
affordable (used ICE) cars
Agenda 47

Feel free to suggest other possible debate topics.

The Prep will help but in the end her unseasoned self will come out. By not taking hard questions she has made herself weaker. Trump only gets a heavy dose of hard questions and is unflappable. It will be a battle of one liners—but it will go to the counter puncher in the end. The spin doctors will have a field day trying to make a victor out of old word salad Kammy. It will be entertaining to say the least. My take: Kamala takes the first 1/2 hour. Trump gets the second on points. and the last half hour a TKO for Trump. All will see the victor.

“Kamala’s “A” game is not even at the intramural college level.”

Kamala was a debater at Howard University.

She has access to people that know how to win elections.

Most contenders would not even agree to a debate with these rules. It looks to be totally one-sided for Harris.

Per the ad homenims, he should attempt to throw her off her game by very lightly joking about or mocking her debate crutches: 1) How she hides behind looking down and furiously scribbling notes
2) Her career long hair of repeating phrases in failing attempts to make them seem more profound 3) Reminding all that she’s nasty and that “no one on her staff likes her... Gold Star families don’t want anything to do with her...World leaders know she is not bright, she is not a smart person...”

If he can at all, subtly, make her introspective or self-conscious, he might trigger her natural nervous defense mechanisms and derail her. Her short circuiting is a danger and, trust me, SHE knows it!

(Let me just say, from my college speaking days, it takes one to know one. I used to be her. 😜)

Donald Trump ‘better tighten his chin strap’: James Carville

I would say rather that Kamala had better tighten her knee pads.

If Trump can handle Megyn Kelly's question ("You've called women you don't like, 'fat pigs,' 'dogs,' 'slobs,' and 'disgusting animals..."), he can handle anything Kamala can toss his way.
