    His strategy will be

    1. Throw word salad at every question

    2. declare his policies are the best that anyone has ever seen in the history.

    3. call “Camila” a Marxist, communist, socialist, bird brain, nasty woman, and a total disaster. All these words mean the same to him and his base.

    4. regardless how bad he does, declare himself a winner at the debate. Whine and fundraise for the rest of the campaign.

      The hilarious part is Kamala will do her best to refute those claims. The best strategy is to say “no you”, but she won’t do that and will fall into his traps. If she calls him a rapist and a felon and a loser with small crowd sizes to his face, than that’s a different story.

        When the weird orange felon does his trump trot mouth diarrhea thing, and he will, Kamala Harris should pick out the most obvious, most embarrassing or most offensive one, disassemble it in an unflattering way then say she doesn’t have the time to address the other lies.

      I’d love for her to hit even harder.

      “Trump wants out of the debate. I’d call him a pussy, but those things can take a pounding. Don’t know about the rest of you girls, but unlike Trump, my genitals don’t wilt at the slightest criticism.”

    This is just working to lower expectations so a bad performance can still be called a win.

    Trump has frankly gotten embarrassed at every debate he’s done, but the media handicaps him so hard that the narrative ends up being about everything his opponent does. So of course he’s going to do the debate. He’s going to say bat shit crazy things, he’s going to lie, he’s going to be cringe as fuck and he’ll probably say a bunch of racist and sexist things.

    And the next day all the media will talk about is the time Harris sneezed or slightly mispronounced some word or some shit.

    Edit: wording, added another quote

    It seems to just be a never Trump republican, not much is included in article:

    Stuart Stevens told CNN panelists Monday night on “NewsNight” that not only is Trump’s head in the wrong place — “his campaign knows it.”

    Trump’s endless stream of attacks on Harris include calling her “dumb” and a “socialist lunatic."

    Stevens said Trump has a “problem with women” — and a “real problem with Black women in power.”

    The former strategist said the debate will likely not come down to policy, but vibes from the two.
