I have a theory about the "child care word salad."

This is a relatively new phenomenon for Trump, He has always rambled but rarely has dropped in a single phrase like this. So what I think has happened is he is practicing for the debate and was told he needs to ramble less and stick to the question asked more. Trump being Trump, he took to heart the part about answering the question but missed the "ramble less" part. So he rambled but every so often dropped in "child care" randomly. He is going to do this in the debate. Count on it.

Harris is as prepared as she needs to be on the facts for this debate. What she needs is a strategy. Trump's a wreak & the debate format isn't the best to show that, unfortunately. But he's also deteriorating fast & his ability to stay on topic for about 20 minutes before breaking down into a rambling mess isn't even that long anymore.

I think she'll do fine & clearly be the winner but the media will find enough in Trump's responses to make him sound like a viable candidate while nitpicking everything she says.

The real show is going to be Walz vs Vance. Oh my! I think that is going to be very entertaining.

He never answers questions, but he drops sound bites. He tees up the msm with them and let the msm fill in the gaps explaining what he meant.

You can count on abc to ask questions on the following topics...

Child care
Afghanistan
Grocery Prices
Harris's Race
Immigration
Urban Crime

And all of them will stem from rw talking points. Tsf will dump word puke all over the podium, and the media will reword it and say it made sense. They will splain it for him.

Kamala will answer logically, with well reasoned policy positions and key attacks. The media will say she was weak and lacked specifics.

And they will say tsf won the debate because he got his points accross more strongly than she did and didnt have a stroke.
