    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.

      Why would she want to play to his strengths, by walking in and just throwing insults at him the whole time? That’s a terrible move.

        I don’t think this would necessarily be playing to his strengths, look at how effective the “weird” narrative has been.

        Also, almost no one that would vote for Trump is doing so on policy. Sure, she needs to talk some policy to keep moderates (and actual leftists) engaged, but I think there’s some need to mock him and his movement.

        To make a bit of an analogy, look at how Gamergate actually ended; it wasn’t from crossing any bridge that went too far, or convincing people they were enabling harassment, it ended when Steven Colbert made fun of the movement on his show, and then that got mainstream attention.

          Trump should have been knocked out in the first GOP primary debate in 2016. Everyone expected him to be laughed off the stage and for his campaign to fall apart. Instead, the other candidates took him seriously, and he was able to steamroll and bully his way through the primary. Mocking and humiliating Trump for being an unserious candidate was the winning strategy then, and it’s the winning strategy now.

      Yeah, cause y’all have been doing just a bang up job calling her moves ahead of time, huh.

      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.

        ‘Trump Trots’ should probably replace Gish Gallop in the lexicon.

        Perfect👌
