Best strategy for Trump is to not get mad and to just let her talk and try to answer questions -

If Trump is allowed to debate Kamala Harris on her record as vice president it's over

There should be a drinking game you have to drink every time Kamala Harris calls Trump a racist

All Harris has to do is answer the questions and all Trump has to do is not come off as a bombastic idiot for once.

[bradisaacson]

what a calm measured guy in a totally non-calm and non-measured plitical environment. Most people do not care a wit about calm and measured. What most people care about, in today's politics, is the destruction of the apponent..especially at the apponent's own hands.🤣
