Republicans and Trump voters alike are looking forward to watching Donald Trump rip apart the world's top word salad chef, Kamala Harris, but let's take a lesson from Crassus of the Triumvirate, and not let our superior strength convince us to ignore sound tactics.
Yeah, that's that deep knowledge you subscribe to these VIP articles for.
Yes, Trump has the experience, the accomplishments, and the ability to say complete sentences that make sense, but what Harris has is the media and rabid activists ready to make the debate less about the facts and the country and more about scoring socio-political points.
In other words, Harris doesn't have to win on facts. All she has to do is create two or three "girl boss" clips that the press can latch onto and push those moments over and over again until the entire debate became about these short moments that show her as a no-nonsense go-getter.
How do I know this is going to happen. A few things. //
However, this won't mean that he won't fall into the trap the Harris team and the media set for him. They will work to make it happen. They need that moment. If and when it does happen, Trump should call it out for what it is. Make it clear that this is the media's sad attempt to paint Harris as something she's not, a strong and capable person, and that they have to fall back on this kind of cheap nonsense in order to sell her.
He should remind the American people if this is the kind of thing she and the media focus on, then they fundamentally don't understand the trouble America is in, and that trouble is something that Harris a direct hand in causing. She wants to make this about presenting herself as presidential, when she's had four years to do that already. Trump already did that, and he wants to get America back on track and away from the failures that Harris represents. //

At the first opportunity when she interjects to goad him into interrupting, he should simply say “I’m speaking,” smile slowly, and continue. Take what is theirs and make it yours.
Just like she’s taken no tax on tips, fracking, and I’ll build the wall (not that I believe her on any of that).
They’ll claim he’s rude to a woman but they plan to do that anyway. //
