His strategy will be
-
Throw word salad at every question
-
declare his policies are the best that anyone has ever seen in the history.
-
call “Camila” a Marxist, communist, socialist, bird brain, nasty woman, and a total disaster. All these words mean the same to him and his base.
-
regardless how bad he does, declare himself a winner at the debate. Whine and fundraise for the rest of the campaign.
The hilarious part is Kamala will do her best to refute those claims. The best strategy is to say “no you”, but she won’t do that and will fall into his traps. If she calls him a rapist and a felon and a loser with small crowd sizes to his face, than that’s a different story.
Why would she want to play to his strengths, by walking in and just throwing insults at him the whole time? That’s a terrible move.
I don’t think this would necessarily be playing to his strengths, look at how effective the “weird” narrative has been.
Also, almost no one that would vote for Trump is doing so on policy. Sure, she needs to talk some policy to keep moderates (and actual leftists) engaged, but I think there’s some need to mock him and his movement.
To make a bit of an analogy, look at how Gamergate actually ended; it wasn’t from crossing any bridge that went too far, or convincing people they were enabling harassment, it ended when Steven Colbert made fun of the movement on his show, and then that got mainstream attention.
When the weird orange felon does his trump trot mouth diarrhea thing, and he will, Kamala Harris should pick out the most obvious, most embarrassing or most offensive one, disassemble it in an unflattering way then say she doesn’t have the time to address the other lies.
