First, don’t get upset about any single economic statistic thrown at you by Kamala Harris. All of them judge the Trump administration by the Covid-19 doldrums and credit the comeback to the Biden administration. The fact is, voters are generally treating Covid-19 as an act of God and giving politicians lots of breaks for how they behaved. If they were judging strictly on Covid, it would be Ron DeSantis up there, not you. If you have to offer up one regret, mention that you should have fired Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Second, focus relentlessly on immigration. The debate moderators will likely try to limit immigration talk to putting you on the defensive about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. Don’t let them. This has become the most important issue for most voters, and the Biden-Harris record on it cannot be defended. Memorize a few lines from Democratic mayors about the disaster that controlled immigration has been for New York or Chicago. This is a problem you not only managed with executive orders, but one that you did with mature diplomacy with a left-wing Mexican government. In other words, this is where you proved that you were more than a big slogan and knew how to govern. The Biden-Harris record is veterans on the streets and illegal immigrants in luxury hotels. They have passed legally dubious amnesties. They allowed border communities to be swamped and overwhelmed by chaos they deliberately invited. And when the Left put her under pressure, Harris said she wanted to abolish ICE and compared it to the Ku Klux Klan. She wanted to decriminalize the border and give free health care to illegal immigrants. And it isn’t just her playing second fiddle. When she was district attorney, she released illegal immigrants who subsequently went on to commit heinous crimes. One was a triple homicide. Make her own it.
