Gish Gallop strategy bombards opponents with a flood of arguments many irrelevant or misleading leaving them struggling to respond and the audience overwhelmed you're a tough guy J by and it's and we need to have a leader that is you're never going to be president United States by your way let's see I'm at 42 and you're at three so so far I'm doing better from everything I see has no respect for this person well that's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States and it's pretty clear Trump's authoritarian style amplifies this approach focusing on domination and humiliation Trump's debates prioritize performance over substance his insults and personal attacks Target opponents vulnerabilities aiming to distract and unsettle whether mocking appearances or floating controversial theories Trump aims to keep rivals on the defensive question why would you answer that question a lot of Supreme Court Justice radical left you sh his counter punching ability is notable Trump frequently interrupts and uses rapid fire remarks to unbalance opponents as seen in his debates with Biden where he exploited Biden's mistakes and reinforced doubts about his competence for Trump debate baates are a reality TV show he positions himself as the central figure using catchy slogans and dramatic gestures to capture attention his control over the narrative through attacks on moderators or strategic interruptions ensures he remains in the spotlight however Trump's Reliance on predictable insults and dramatic tactics can diminish their impact over time his style might falter against a disciplined opponent like kamla Harris CA Harris has owned her debate skills over the years early in her career she capitalized on opponents mistakes her ability to deliver impactful onliners highlights her talent for making decisive points Harris is known for her sharp instincts and seizing moments as evidenced by the 2020 vice presidential debate well let's get no but Susan I this is important and I want to add Mr Vice President I'm speaking I'm speaking underscored her ability to assert control Under Pressure however Harris has struggled with clear message as seen in criticisms of her prosecutorial record and inconsistent positions on busing and climate change as she prepares for her debate with Trump Harris aims to counter his aggressive style while highlighting her own strengths her strategy includes emphasizing Trump's failures and differentiating herself from him and President Biden preparation involves mocked debates with Trump impersonator Philipe Reigns and managing personal attacks to avoid past mistakes faced with Trump's disruptive tactics Harris must ad address her weaknesses and counter Trump's approach to succeed Trump and Harris are largely focusing on swaying undecided voters let's see what talking points each candidate will offer in the upcoming debate first the foreign policy Donald Trump's foreign policy is defined by unpredictability and disruption he has challenged NATO proposed steep tariffs on Chinese Imports and shown pro- Russia sentiments his promises to swiftly end the Russ's Ukraine war and his strong pro-israel stance highlight his chaotic and unconventional approach to international relations Kamala Harris who is still formulating her foreign policy is expected to follow a path similar to President Biden's analysts anticipate she will focus on strengthening alliances and maintaining active American engagement globally aiming for a more stable and predictable diplomatic approach on National Security and dealing with China Trump was preferred over Harris by four points down from 10 points over Biden on immigration and border policy Trump aims to reinstate his Hardline immigration policies including sealing the border and large-scale deportations he plans to revive previous measures like the travel ban on Muslim majority countries his approach is focused on strict enforcement and significant restrictions in contrast based on her experience as California's attorney general kamla Harris will likely emphasize addressing transnational crime while maintaining some restrictive Asylum policies she supports bipartisan efforts to enhance border security and balance enforcement with humanitarian concerns immigration is an issue that energizes Republican voters Trump was favored by three points down from the 13-point preference he had over Biden talking about the economy and tax policy Trump plans to revive his previous economic policies including tax cuts deregulation and trade conflicts with China he proposes lowering the corporate tax rate imposing broad tariffs and reversing green energy initiatives however his strategies to tackle inflation and lower interest rates remain unclear camela Harris expected to build on Biden's economic agenda will focus on Family Support such as paid leave and child care she supports Progressive economic policies and may appoint liberal figures to key positions to expand social safety nets and support middleclass families on the economy which is the voter's top concern Trump was favored over her by six percentage points of course that's an asset but it is less than half the 14-point advantage he held over Biden in June on abortion Trump's abortion stance has been inconsistent while he has praised state level restrictions and describes himself as pro-life he has not committed to a National Abortion ban and has shown varied positions on the issue over time Kamala Harris is a strong advocate for abortion rights she has proposed measures to protect access including requiring states to seek justice department approval for changes to abortion laws Harris's presidency would likely Advance protections for abortion rights contrasting sharply with Trump's record speaking of abortion on Healthcare Harris had double- digit advantages of 14 points and 19 points both were wider than Biden's 10-point advantages but what do the polls say a new USA Today poll reveals a shift in the presidential race with Vice Harris gaining ground against Trump as President Joe Biden steps aside Harris has narrowed the enthusiasm Gap with Republicans and reduced Trump's lead on key issues like the economy and immigration Harris now leads Trump 48% 43% within the poll's margin of error with the debate set for Tuesday September 10th around 10% of Voters remain undecided or open to changing their minds will this debate be the deciding factor for those voters we can't wait to find out
