And with the nervousness I've seen from Harris in interviews where she doesn't have a script, I'm hoping she can somehow break the pattern and come out strong, with crisp, concise answers. I believe Gabbard, who hit Harris pretty skillfully during the Dem debates in 2020, is coaching Trump through the debate tomorrow.

Again, it's because Trump goes on the offensive, he does not care.
Harris needs to come across as confident, sure of herself, in command of facts. She would be well served to toss out one or two new policy ideas, just to quiet the criticism that she’s short on specifics. Guns, Abortion, Economy, immigration, the pandemic that he made so much worse, the insurrection, his felony conviction, his Putin-love, and all the rest, not hum and haw and play defense. She can't say 'next question' in the debate like she did in her CNN interview. She has to come out ready to throw punches.
Trump is going to savage her in every way he can think of. It’s who he is. He can’t believe he’s losing to a Black woman, and he can’t possibly comprehend the fact that America likes her better. Harris’s favorability rating isn’t exactly high but it's at least neutral instead of unfavorable latched to Biden
He knows there’s only one way he can win: He needs to get America to hate Harris. Right now, people don’t. They don’t adore her, but they don’t hate her. This is very different from 2016, when he was running against someone the right wing had been telling Americans to hate for decades. He knows he has seven weeks to do a Hillary on Kamala.
