I hope Harris doesn’t over prepare, she does need to maintain a certain level of off the cuff affability.
Over preparation was Biden’s fatal error, he was struggling so hard to hit his talking points he couldn’t keep things straight. Obviously things are vastly different with Harris, but she’d be best to not just be a talking point machine.
That's the main reason I gave up on watching political debates years ago, because nothing ever gets directly answered. It's all fillers and boasting about past hurrahs and talking points.
If they just answered the fucking questions I'd be happy.
Calling these things presidential "debates" is rich, indeed.
I totally see your point.
But with the switch from "when they go low,..." to "fuck it, we can hut below the belt even better", I gotta admit I am quite interested to see how she will handle a formal debate: Hammer phrases like everyone before or hitting hard and agile.
Idk, somehow I feel we might see something refreshing this time.
Maybe I'll watch the highlights or something 'cause I can't stand Trump's voice, his meandering and the bullshit he spews. His mere existence just pisses me off to no end.

The media spent so much time focusing on zingers over ideas, they kinda created the mess.
