Debating Strategy: Trump V.S.Harris

Kamala Harris' primary weapon is attitude. Typically she offers up attitude with very little substance. This was on display during the SCOTUS nomination hearings. She will attempt to belittle an opponent with demeanor and tone while advancing an argument that is sterile at best, and ridiculous at worst. It's style over substance.

What her opponent must do is focus attention on the substance, and on the fact that her rhetoric is empty. He can even mockingly draw attention to what she is trying to do on the stage tone-wise with a line like "A sassy attitude is not an argument". Drawing attention to this kind of behavior helps to neutralize its effects, so that all that is left are the issues. In this case that means Harris' previously stated extreme Left-wing political stances, and the terrible track record of the administration of which she has been a part.

Trump has claimed that he wants to focus on issues rather than personalities in his recent speeches (because "she is terrible on the issues"). Let's see if he can stick with it.

"In fact, the modern world offers as near as history comes to a controlled experiment in liberty. Of the four revolutions that mark modernity, two, the English (1640s) and American (1776), were based on the Hebrew Bible, and two, the French and the Russian, were based on secular philosophy, Rousseau and Marx respectively. The first two led to liberty. The second two ended in the suppression of liberty: in France in the Reign of Terror (1793-94), in Russia in the form of Stalinist Communism."
