I doubt Harper falls for that, he's the most experienced guy in the room from a leadership debate standpoint, and has been mostly very good in terms of being effective in these situations.
Harper isn't going to go for some emotionally charged attack on Trudeau, he really doesn't need to, the day and age of the Mulroney knockout punch on John Turner, or 1980 when Reagan clobbered Carter in the second debate.
For the most part the leaders are too well prepared for these debates, and you don't see the round house punches, you mostly see jabs.
