Debate Strategy: Stay Focused on the Issues, Not Trump’s Distractions
To: V.P. Harris
From: A constituent in Los Angeles, CA
August 19
hope this letter finds you well. As a concerned citizen, I wanted to share a thought that I believe could be crucial in your upcoming debate with Donald Trump.
In past debates, we’ve seen how easily discussions can be derailed by Mr. Trump’s tactics, leading to conversations that stray far from the real issues at hand. I think many of us watched with concern as these debates sometimes devolved into exchanges that seemed more about personal attacks and less about the policies that truly matter to the American people.
I urge you, as a strong and capable leader, to resist engaging with his ramblings and distractions. By deliberately not getting caught up in his attempts to sidetrack the conversation, you have the opportunity to set yourself apart and demonstrate your focus and determination to address the issues that are important to us all.
Allow Mr. Trump to flounder if he must, but keep steering the conversation back to the core issues that affect everyday Americans. Your composure and refusal to engage in his tactics will not only highlight your strength as a leader but also set a powerful example for how debates should be conducted in a way that respects the intelligence of the electorate.
Thank you for your continued dedication to serving our country. I have every confidence in your ability to rise above and keep the focus where it belongs—on the future of America.
