Hillary Clinton's Debate Advice To Kamala Harris: Trump 'Can Be Rattled,' 'Bait Him'
HuffPost
Speaking to The New York Times, Clinton said her tactics from 2016's presidential debates show how to expose Donald Trump's weaknesses.
Hillary Clinton offered Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris straightforward advice for taking on GOP rival Donald Trump at the upcoming presidential debate: Bait him.
Clinton, who lost the 2016 White House race to Trump, said in a New York Times interview published Saturday that the Republican “is going with a scorched-earth approach and will just try to tear her [Harris] down, which is his usual go-to strategy.”
To combat Trump, Clinton suggested that Harris go on the offensive, arguing that this would hit directly at Trump’s weaknesses.
“She just should not be baited. She should bait him. He can be rattled,” Clinton told the Times. “He doesn’t know how to respond to substantive, direct attacks.”
Earlier this week, Harris reluctantly agreed to ABC News’ debate rules, which state that candidates’ microphones will only be turned on when it is their turn to speak. That rule had also been implemented in Trump’s June debate against President Joe Biden, who was the presumptive Democratic nominee before his disastrous debate performance led him to drop his reelection bid.
