She is, but Trump is special. I don't know that any previous experience will necessarily apply. In the courtroom she would have always been empowered by speaking from a position of authority - Trump will show her no such decorum.

I'd like to hear an "anyway" when he's done and she gets back to her point. Like completely ignore his existence for a moment.

She isn’t allowed to get frustrated because she’s a black woman. That’s the sad reality.

Not only that but she can't come across as condescending either because she's a black woman.

At the end of the day she must cater to low-info battleground state swing-voters. That is her target audience because she can do no right in the eyes of maga and she doesn't really have to worry about Democrats.

So what will someone like my uncle who fits that description respond positively to in such a debate?

Probably not a pissing contest, but constantly pivoting directly to saying, "look I hear you. I understand many of you are feeling the pressure in the economy. You've been told it's getting better but many of you aren't feeling it. I understand. But we have a plan to relieve some of that pressure. And while we aren't where we want to be, our country has recovered following the pandemic better than any country in the world. Slow and steady wins the race, and electing someone as volatile as Donald Trump who only helps his rich friends will not help the markets."

Once he starts, he won't stop. So that would be a failed plan by Harris.

Yes. I would love to hear her say, literally, "I heard everything you said but I didn't hear anything worth listening too. Anyway back on topic."

I don't know, that seems like something the Dems of old would do. "They go low, we go high" kind of thing. And also would let Trump completely control the flow, which is what he wants. I suspect the only way to beat him is to match him in loudness and push back with authority.

I don't think you can beat him by being "fair", you have to beat him at his own game.

I liked how Pete buttejudge handled it on Fox News last week. He just kept talking as if the host wasn't there.

Maybe say something like "well that was weird" and then, like you say, just go back to her point.
