David Axelrod: "Make Donald Trump small" at Sept. debate

[Jrose]

'Ex-Obama aide gives Harris advice for taking down Trump:
David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to Barack Obama, says it’s imperative for Kamala Harris to make Donald Trump “small” in their first televised debate on September 10. Axelrod appeared on CNN’s Newsnight following Harris and her running mate Governor Tim Walz’s primetime interview with Dana Bash on Thursday evening.

“I guess if I were advising her… don’t make Trump big by trying to get into back and fourth with him throughout the night. Make him small. He’s going to try to do what Trump does,” he told host Abby Phillip on Thursday evening.“This is his seventh presidential debate; nobody’s done more. We know what his habits are.”

He concluded: “She should have a conversation with the American people about the future she envisions and spar with him when she has to.”

1. I don't think Prosecutor Harris needs advice on how to handle TSF

She'll wither him with a look.

4. For she has MANY to choose from.

If looks could kill.

The experience Kamala the Prosecutor has will shut him up. I mean, Trump could not look at Jack Smith when feet from one another in the same Courtroom.

2. He has a point.

I think she should be dismissive of his attacks and focus on what she is offering the American people.

3. Good advice

And should not be hard to follow. He makes it simple by setting himself up each time. I hope she also uses HRC's trick of calling him Donald throughout the thing. He hates being called Donald. She can just do her usual adult presidential thing and treat him like a toddler that has climbed up on the stage and is shouting things.

5. "same old tired playbook"

I think we saw where she is going to go

"Folks we have heard all this (crap) before, aren't you sick of it? Here's what we are going to do...."
