    Yeah, but Harris has seen that dumb tired move, and so far she’s been a judo master that has been using his own attacks against him.

    There is a reason she wants the mics off for the debate.

      She wants them hot the whole time. T****s staffers want them off.

      “We have told ABC and other networks seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe both candidates’ mics should be live throughout the full broadcast,” Brian Fallon, the Harris campaign’s senior adviser for communications, tells POLITICO. “Our understanding is that Trump’s handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don’t think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own. We suspect Trump’s team has not even told their boss about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit they don’t think he can handle himself against Vice President Harris without the benefit of a mute button.”

        The urge to cough “bullshit” at everything trump say will be hard.

        I’m not sure it’s a trade off for him babbling over Harris the whole time. We already know he’s unpresidential. I kinda thought the were calling his bluff so he could skip the debate, because there’s really no point having a debate with a liar.

      Harris wants the mics on. She wants him to interrupt her with gibberish so she can shut him down with a firm “I’m talking!” and so she can call him out for his behavior. She’s banking on him making an ass of himself while she keeps her cool.
