Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are veering sharply in how they gear up for Tuesday’s presidential debate, setting up a showdown that reflects not just two separate visions for the country but two politicians who approach big moments very differently.

The vice president is cloistered in a historic hotel in downtown Pittsburgh where she can focus on honing crisp two-minute answers, per the debate’s rules. She’s been working with aides since Thursday and chose a venue that allows the Democratic nominee the option of mingling with swing-state voters.

Trump, the Republican nominee, publicly dismisses the value of studying for the debate. The former president is choosing instead to fill his days with campaign-related events on the premise that he’ll know what he needs to do once he steps on the debate stage at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

“You can go in with all the strategy you want but you have to sort of feel it out as the debate’s taking place,” he said during a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Trump then quoted former boxing great Mike Tyson, who said, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”

    Edit: Busted!

    Wtf is y’all’s deal with this shit? You bring up these same two things in every conversation, regardless of how completely irrelevant they are, and then if the other person doesn’t kowtow you act like you “busted” them? Absolutely bizarre, nonsensical behavior.

    Congratulations, you revealed that I’m not a part of your tribe, which I never pretended to be in the first place. I guess now it doesn’t matter that I proved you objectively wrong now, because I’m the “other,” so your little in-group can write off anything I say, no matter how correct and sourced it is. Blue MAGA shit.

        I haven’t done any trolling at all, nor have I licked any boots. I simply refused to engage with your irrelevant tangent.

        All you did was perform a purity test to see if I’m a member of your tribe in order to discredit me, whole deploying thought-terminating cliches to distract from the fact that you were objectively proven wrong.
