"The game plan, in other words, has become one of hoping that Trump wins the debate so they can regain momentum – a stunning approach that shows the serious predicament for Trump and his campaign as he struggles to find ways to land effective attacks against the vice-president just months before the election."

No matter what happens, they are going to claim victory at the debate and the media will lean into, to keep it all close (better ratings!) -- nm - Trending Aug 29, 07:19 1
- weirdly, the media did not do any of that in June for Joe -- nm - mr mooch Aug 29, 07:20
Well he can always go take a piss in a cemetery again I guess -- nm - Jovian Aug 29, 07:08
She literally trained professionally as a debater. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 29, 07:01 8
- She trained to debate people who follow the rules. Trump doesn't debate, he just keeps talking all of the time. The muted mics definitely favor him. -- nm - jnine Aug 29, 07:12 5
  - Nuance - she trained to debate people who don't follow the rules, but where she can appeal to a judge to make sure the rules are applied -- nm - Roger More Aug 29, 07:51
  - But was also a prosecutor, who would be prepared for combative witnesses. -- nm - Reagen Aug 29, 07:36 1
    - There are still rules in court. In fact,combative witnesses usually hurt the side they're on. Juries don't like it. -- nm - jnine Aug 29, 10:54
  - 100% they favor him. But im worried a bit less because I know Harris isnt going to just stand there looking like a living corpse when its her - Jovian Aug 29, 07:14 1
    - Yes, but she has to be careful not to come across as an "angry black woman". Lots of people are uncomfortable with a woman who stands up for herself. Look at Hillary. -- nm* - jnine Aug 29, 07:19
- i think she should be more afraid of the lapdog moderators and their framing of the questions than him -- nm - mr mooch Aug 29, 07:08 1
  - absolutely -- nm - Jovian Aug 29, 07:09
