Kamala Harris Campaign STILL Complaining About This One ABC Debate Rule, w/ RealClearPolitics Hosts

apparently Andrew there will be mics turned off during the other person's turn so while Trump is speaking her mic will be off while she is speaking Trump's mic will be turned off this was the subject of debate for weeks and uh the reports are that her team is very disappointed about this because she was looking to have what they're calling a um a Brett Kavanaugh moment with her where she she got up in Brett kavanagh's face during the confirmation hearing so how big an impact if any will this have on our experience of this debate on Tuesday night well I guess marginally uh people are saying it's a victory for Trump I don't think it makes any difference at all uh I think they were going to debate no matter what they both need the debate um Trump has been practicing and practicing for this uh every time he goes out and speaks to someone on a podcast or a town hall or a uh with inter with a press conference he's practicing so I think he's ready for the debate the big question is is she ready um there'll be no notes uh that you can bring it's a standup debate I believe still so it will be all the rules that applied during Joe Biden's debate and we saw how that ended up for Joe Biden so um I if if if if I had to bet I think he probably will have a good night and uh she's going to be the bar is pretty high for her because she has not been doing any press talk to anybody been challenged in any way other than that CNN interview um so we'll see what happens but every you know the stakes are pretty high I guess yeah well meantime NBC news reporting earlier this week that this is how she's preparing that she's being coached to avoid being pulled into Trump's personal attacks by remaining calm she and her team are focusing on how to needle Trump and rattle him in that sense The Source said it's going to be less about substance and more about showcasing Harris as a woman who is not scared okay so that's what we're looking for in a president now a woman she's a woman so check who is not scared of Donald Trump that will earn you the presidency in the eyes of her team Tom bevon but the plan to Rattle and needle Trump is a good one and we'll see whether they're able to do it that was what they did throughout the DNC making fun of him not being a billionaire his money the criminal cases against him and he held his fire he did not start spouting off on Truth social in the middle of the night face to face across from her can he do it yeah we'll find out I mean look the reason she wanted the these mics on is she wanted to pull that same stick that she did with Mike Pence in 2020 you know excuse me excuse me I'm speaking stop speaking over me sort of you know that that whole thing um totally and there was a report by I think CNN who had a source that ABC News saying uh that or that that the campaign Comm Harris's campaign had gotten assurances from ABC that if there was some cross talk that the mics would be turned on and that the moderators would help inform the public about what what was being said so um you know that was sort of a curious report I'll be interested to see when when this actually goes down whether those mics are fully turned off the entire time or whether they you know they might be left on on occasion or or how how they handle the cross talk between these two candidates but you're certainly right that you know she's going to try and get in his head and say some things and you know try and get him to overreact and then you know play uh perhaps play the victim or or whatever the Situation's going to be um and Trump has to be aware of that and and has to basically not fall for it and we'll see whether he's able to do that or not you never know I suppose it it'll depend on the you know the mood he's in on the night of the debate he's had far more experience with adversarial media than she is which is to his Advantage Carl well yeah and you reminded me of something the first person who showed on a presidential debate staff at the debate stage that there could be simultaneously a woman and unafraid of Donald Trump was Megan Kelly you may doesn't qualify me for president I think it does and and in terms in terms of that microphone I'll take you guys back one a couple elections even earlier Al Gore is debating George Bush and there and Al Gore bush is talking and Gore was sighing so loudly into the microphone those of those who were in the hall there couldn't hear Bush and I I was sitting next to Frank broney of the New York Times I said Frank is the air conditioning broken what's going on and he turned to me said I think that's Gore and the ne and on TV it was n't as bad but the next day Barber Bush and and then gors you know stalked across the stage um at Bush and Bush kind of smirked at him like he was you know Bring It On Boy and the next day Barbara Bush was clutching her pearls on one of the morning shows and she said I thought he was going to hit George and you know so some of these histrionics get these subtle movements you know when Bush's father looked at his watch during debate they can matter and so I I you know so I think the mics turned I guess I'd kind of prefer him just to be on all the time you remember that moment in the New York in the New York state senate race New York Senate race go ahead Tom no Rick laio marching across the stage with a piece of paper and sort of waved it in Hillary Clinton's face but that but that's gour did that backfired on him Gore did that two weeks after you thought you thought he would have been warned yeah he just figured because he was up against a male opponent he could get away with that but certainly that male female Dynamic will play and given the ra the gender divide in this election Trump does have to be careful like he he can't do anything too aggressive even though she'll be aggressive against him she's called him a predator she's gotten as aggressive rhetorically as you can he there's just a dynamic I'm sorry it's there he would be completely Reckless to get in her face physically in any way and I don't think he'll do that did you know there's nearly $1 trillion dollars of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to be spent that's right there's a massive amount of money that the lame duck Administration is pushing hard to spend in their last few months if the president is able to push these funds
