in the debate do you think let's take it one by one carel Harris first of all okay the first thing is her vote is doing quite well among young women who are not engaged and not energized when Joe Biden was the Democratic nominee so she should look straight into the cameras I'm doing to you right now and make a direct appeal to them second is that there are doubts about her command of the issues and where she really stands so she really does need to discuss a detailed plan of action detailed so we know the specifics of plan so it's written down an action the key Point number three she's got to address the most important issue to American voters and that is a real solution to the affordability crisis food and fuel housing and Health Care fourth she should apply her proseal record to discuss Donald Trump's legal problems as well as keeping Americans safe and secure and fifth she needs to address the issue of abortion she's on the majority side women in particular agree with her and to address that and to raise that often will be helpful to her campaign those are the key components to Harris and they will make a difference in how they outcome and how these unid of Voters view the outcome do the same for us for Donald Trump sure for Trump the key issue for him is he doesn't need to be nice but he cannot be mean because if he's seen as disrespecting the vice president women across the country will oppose that and reject that just as they did to him in 2020 with Joe Biden second is he needs to ask a serious of questions such as in the most important are you better off now under Biden and Harris than you were under Donald Trump 4 years ago a second question do you feel safer today than you did four years ago it's a chance for him to talk about the changes in the border that have gotten worse under the Biden Administration and Harris had some responsibility for that the other key question is life more affordable today than it was four years ago and finally Trump needs to do a side by-side comparison inflation in 2020 versus 2024 the crime and the lack of safety the Border all the statistics that have changed over the last four years Harris is preferred because of her Persona how she carries herself and how she engages voters Trump is preferred based on the issues the key policies of the day briefly on this one what would you anticipate what would good tactics look like from both parts because uh there was that whole debate about the rules and car Harris wanted the mics to be open because she planned to to challenge Donald Trump to fact check him as he was going on to take him on as he was what she would say and Democrats would say pedling untruths that is not going to happen so tactically how do you see this Trump has to keep control of his temper and cannot destroy her cannot see to destroy her personally he has to focus on policy and for Harris it's her it's absolutely essential that she gr and not only is she ready for the job but that she has the details and the action plans and the substance for Trump it's about style can it be calm cool and collected for Harris it's about substance can she have the details and the facts and the plans that voters want most I've got about two minutes left so I've got time to squeeze in two more questions because when you listen to people who are going to vote they always say the same thing that they want the candidates to concentrate on policy are we sure that's actually true because when you look at debates sometimes a Barb or a put down really travels and resonates and and continues to do quite a lot of work for for weeks ahead you think of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and Locker up that that really sustained for weeks so do you think when voters say that it is 100% true yeah and I'm even give you the the response back when the candidates behave badly for Donald Trump and Harris says to him I'm talking because Trump's going interrupt what Trump should say is yes that's the problem you are talking the question is are you you actually doing and then for for Harris against Trump for him we need a president who respects mothers and daughters sisters and women of all types even cat ladies for her she focused on women for Trump he focuses on Harris's lack of a record two very different approaches but it's the same style you come back you do it quickly in an eight or 10 SEC eight or 10 second sound bite that is played again and again and again you've only got 30 seconds less how crucial is tomorrow night it's everything just as it destroyed Joe Biden's re-election campaign the winner of tomorrow night's debate will probably been be the winner of the presidential campaign Harris has a slight Advantage right now ask me 48 hours from now and I'll tell you who's going to get elected president uh two months from now Frank you've done a bit of pre-booking for
