I think every time he interrupts her she should just stop talking and wait until he’s quiet again, then continue whatever she was saying without addressing anything brought up outside of his allotted times.
Keep projecting “the adult in the room” energy. She isn’t allowed to get frustrated because she’s a black woman. That’s the sad reality.
If all Trump does is interrupt the entire time and sound like an idiot I guarantee you that anybody who is “on the fence“ or moderate or whatever will not see that as winning. There is also zero chance he will just keep doing it and not explode on camera. The point is to not let him fight on his terms. If you get into a shouting match with Donald Trump you are losing. It gives him opportunities to just drop shitty/sarcastic one liners that people love.
Trump sounded like an idiot against Hillary too and went in with interruptions like the classic shouted “No puppet! You’re the puppet!” and he didn’t seem to scare any voters away then. In fact, if I recall right the consensus was the debates were at best a tie for Hillary.
She isn’t allowed to get frustrated because she’s a black woman. That’s the sad reality.
Not only that but she can’t come across as condescending either because she’s a black woman.
At the end of the day she must cater to low-info battleground state swing-voters. That is her target audience because she can do no right in the eyes of maga and she doesn’t really have to worry about Democrats.
So what will someone like my uncle who fits that description respond positively to in such a debate?
Probably not a pissing contest, but constantly pivoting directly to saying, “look I hear you. I understand many of you are feeling the pressure in the economy. You’ve been told it’s getting better but many of you aren’t feeling it. I understand. But we have a plan to relieve some of that pressure. And while we aren’t where we want to be, our country has recovered following the pandemic better than any country in the world. Slow and steady wins the race, and electing someone as volatile as Donald Trump who only helps his rich friends will not help the markets.”
I don’t know, that seems like something the Dems of old would do. “They go low, we go high” kind of thing. And also would let Trump completely control the flow, which is what he wants. I suspect the only way to beat him is to match him in loudness and push back with authority.
I don’t think you can beat him by being “fair”, you have to beat him at his own game.
It’s not even going high. It’s strategic. If you start shouting on top of him then you are just playing his game, plus moderators will inevitably have to tell him to stop talking. If she is playing his game they can’t do that because then it looks like they are playing favorites.

I’d like to hear an “anyway” when he’s done and she gets back to her point. Like completely ignore his existence for a moment.
Problem is she might not get single word out with this strategy

Yes because she kept trying to make snarky comebacks and talk on top of him as a response. When you’re a woman you’re not allowed to do that.

I hope she brings up the piss tape and calls him an orange bitch.
Once he starts, he won’t stop. So that would be a failed plan by Harris.

Yes. I would love to hear her say, literally, “I heard everything you said but I didn’t hear anything worth listening too. Anyway back on topic.”
I liked how Pete buttejudge handled it on Fox News last week. He just kept talking as if the host wasn’t there.
What’s interesting is Pete didn’t come off as rude, to me, even though he completely steamrolled them lol
Maybe say something like “well that was weird” and then, like you say, just go back to her point.
Blow a raspberry when he starts talking shit.
