Best strategy for Harris?

The rightwing is salivating for a major stumble, something they can latch onto which is why they want a hardball interview.

Have you got any ideas for Harris? Personally, I think Harris should come out of gate framing those potential questions in her own way before the interviewer can even put her in a defensive position like "I know you want to ask me why I changed my position on .... such and such" and so forth.

Got any suggestions?

3. It will not be a debate if the mikes are muted.

TSF will avoid answering tough questions and instead will froth propaganda and the moderators will allow him to do it.

Muted mikes is a no win situation for Kamala no matter the strategy.

4. Kamala will be happy to point out how TSF doesn't ever answer the questions.

She will chide him until he does or make it an obvious point.

7. TSF doesn't care

he will use his time to give campaign speeches. If the mics were open Kamala could immediately interrupt his by stating, "answer the question."

When TSF's time is up the moderator will simply move on to the next question.

In other words, when TSF is asked a tough question, he won't go on the defensive to explain his position but just go on to another topic, but when Kamala gets a tough question she will have to go on the defensive by explaining it with facts.

Kamala can certainly and should certainly win the "debate" but allowing TSF to just free lance makes it more difficult.

Jessie Watters from Fox made an insulting sexual comment on his program yesterday about VP Kamala Harris. He must be fired. Let us all call Fox at 212-301-3000 and tell them to fire him now. Let's send him a message that we won't stand that in this country.

6. Ask Donald Trump why he keeps calling mommies who are grieving for a baby they lost "executioners".

Democrats have played only defense on the abortion issue for far too long. It's time to attack.

8. The campaign's direction to date has been doing a stellar job

I guess the only suggestion I'd have is keep doing what you're doing. It's not only maintaining, but upping the enthusiasm while simultaneously pissing off Mr. trump and his flock of sheep and sea-lions; knocking him off his game and keeping him there. Looks like nothing but wins for her campaign to me so far.
