    I hope they use an empty lectern and focus at it every time Kamala mentions Trump.

      Naw. Use a cardboard cutout, and have recorded statements of his that then she can play according to a little prearranged sounding board. Play some of his greatest hits, like grab ‘em by the pussy. Play back some of his Biden debate answers and go into depth as to why they are false. Play a little montage of things he was saying about how COVID’s not that big a deal.

      You can set it up a HELL of a lot better than just her giving a speech and focusing on an empty lectern. You can still have an exchange between the two of them without needing him to be there. And then, have her finish it up by saying hey Donald there was a lot of stuff I didn’t get to. We’re gonna do this again in two weeks; if you want to be here we can do a debate, and if not, no biggie, I’ll just pick up where I left off. Let us know and all the best.

      Oh, and then at the very end play back him saying any time, any place, and just sort of shrug and look around confused, like you’re searching for him somewhere on the debate stage. And then say all right then, see you in two weeks I guess, maybe, and then wave to the crowd and say all of y’all have a good night.

      A British politician once failed to show up for a panel show and they replaced him with a literal tub of lard. For the whole thirty minutes.

      It seems fitting for Trump.

      Put a bag of cheeto’s there, and have her refer to him as 34 time convicted felon. Don’t say his name, he’s not worth it.
