Define the headlines. Connect the dots.

Early voting starts as early as mid-September. Your campaign needs to import paid teams into the battleground states, and you have only a few days to define issues to frame the debate next week.

Raise expectations for Kamala. Instead of "low IQ, dumb, she can't put two sentences together," try "she's good at memorizing very misleading soundbites so she can debate very strongly to hide her radical extremism."

Harris brags that she's "the last person in the room with Joe" for major decisions. Especially given Biden's incapacity, let Harris own the Afghanistan debacle, cost of living angst, open borders, chaotic world, and more.

Thus, this election must be about their failures, not a referendum on Trump or abortion. Contrast your peace and prosperity with her wars and inflation. You left them the Abraham Accords and a recovering economy. They screwed it all up. Then talk about your generational vision.

Don't use attacks perceived as personal; instead, expose where Kamala stands on issues. "Madame Vice President, you're a clever politician who campaigns pretending to be a moderate. But you're a radical extremist who cannot be trusted."

Losing the Debate Means an Uphill Battle

Prep daily for this debate. Lose this debate and it's uphill. J.D. Vance can close the deal in his debate. This year, the VP choice matters.

Kamala did not get a single delegate in 2020. Yet, Biden made a deal with Congressman Jim Clyburn to make her vice president. Now, power brokers in secret forced Biden out and anointed Kamala, without an open convention.

And she selected Tampon Tim Walz. Years ago his earlier campaign denied his drunk driving (a "misunderstanding"); but Walz was driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone, failed sobriety and blood tests, was arrested, jailed, and convicted. Walz dismissed his spoken false claim that he carried arms in war as a grammatical error. In another viral moment, he turned away from a reporter asking about the execution of six hostages, including an American. There is more to come on this pompous blowhard. Harris must own Walz.
