Everyone should know what Trump is going to say at the debate.

It really doesn't matter what the questions are - he will give them the answers he wants to give.

And it will be the answers he always gives.

"Only I can prevent WWIII".

"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are responsible for all the problems in the world. Putin, XI, and Jong Un are very strong men. They do not respect Kamala. There were no wars when I was President."

"We had the best economy in the world."

"We will hold accountable those folks that went after me in one witchhunt after another. "

"Joe Biden was the biggest cover-up in history. And all the Democrats knew it."

"When I am the President, we will have the strongest military in the world."

"We did what most Americans wanted - we sent the abortion issue back to the states."

"The polls are fake. Our polls show us ahead in almost all the states, including the battleground states."

"January 6th was the fault of Nancy Pelosi. She did not provide adequate security."

"I get along with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. The president of China is a very strong man but we get along."

"If I am elected, we will build a shield across America to defend our wonderful country."

"Right now, America is like a Third World country. We are not respected anywhere in the world."

"If we give the right taxcuts, childcare will pay for itself. We don't need more government programs."

"My opponent is a socialist".

And on and on, one lie after another.

He will not answer even one question ,

and completely ignore Trump, i.e., don't engage him at all; just give him a side-eye, and maybe shake her head and roll her eyes, and then go on with the business of making HER points. Just be sure that HER points get made; don't do any defending; go on offense entirely.

That's pretty much what he's going to do....that and attack her with a scowl on his face.

BTW, that the first part of that phrase echoes old Ronnie Raygun debating Carter, and Trump needs to have his Gish gallup of lies to be dismissively neutralized every time he utters his stream of warped falsehoods. She should state more than once how disrespectful his lying is to his followers. And its clear from his constantly changing stories he is unserious in a way a leader should never be.

I'm at a loss to why these parodies, spruiked as "Debates" continue. They are obviously not impartial - given the political leanings of the media companies who host them.

I wish that a series of statements was not called a debate. It's unfair. It's misleading. It's probably rigged for ratings and they have become an embarrassing feature of the US political calendar.
