Harris Runs Her Mouth, And a Familiar Playbook

"Kamala Harris bragged, ‘I will proudly put my record against Donald Trump's any day of the week.’ Well, Kamala, let's go. Challenge accepted. Are you ready? Let's compare our record," he said.

We look forward to watching the showdown.

Given the fawning media coverage that has all but declared Harris the second coming of Barack Obama with the "raw talent of a once-in-a-generation leader," as Politico put it, Trump needs 90 minutes on stage with her to puncture that fiction. A debate is precisely the sort of extemporaneous format in which Harris has floundered. She hasn’t let go of her teleprompter since she became the de facto nominee and her adoring fans in the press aren’t going to force her to do so. She has done not a single television interview since being anointed as the presumptive Democratic nominee.

As with the Biden campaign, Team Harris has succeeded in locking in the debate it wanted.

Just as with Biden, I can't believe that Harris will seriously go ahead with the debate. I mentioned that this morning, too -- that she's walking into the same trap Biden created, only Biden at least had done debates in his past and done reasonably well in them. 

Can we call this the Light Grenade Strategy yet?
