Debate strategist Brett O’Donnnell says it was a big mistake for Kamala’s handlers to keep her away from interviews, pre-debate 1) saps her confidence (‘They don’t trust me’) 2) interviews are good debate prep. (This from @markhalperin’s Monday 2Way https://t.co/hxbtnNrE0A)

Sound advice. https://t.co/cXIYxLcD9j Handling the flip-flops seems tricky-because voters like pols flipping to better positions. Coulter proposes: “Attack her flip-flops as obvious lies.” And she hasn’t (yet) flipped on many targetable positions (free health care for illegals?)

Now fashionable for Dems to blame the Constitution for our problems (and their electoral failures). That’s fine. Libs pretended the document was sacred (as opposed to littered with mistakes) when they had SCOTUS. But surely one of its biggest problems is that voters can elect… https://t.co/8sT22Edfkv

If Dems still have a huge edge in early vote, while GOP voters vote on election day, doesn’t this give Dem public officials a big incentive to have something interfere with Election Day? Don’t know what it’d be-massive gas leak, lock downs! Perverse consequence of early voting.

#1 seems inherently weak—VPs often try to break from Admin in which they’ve had little power. See Humphrey, Hubert. [He lost-Ed. It was close!] She had little power because Biden people thought she wasn’t competent. So not realistically responsible for Admin. But not competent https://t.co/sehpCuhOuB
