    She’s should get a Trump impersonator to say these things live on stage and then debunk them.

      Honestly, I love this, but I think the impersonator aspect cheapens it. Take clips of things he’s said and play them on a screen behind a podium across the stage from her. Have a moderator prompt the clips, have her rebuke/fact check them. Done.

      He doesn’t want to debate? Fine, we’ll have the debate without him. He’s already said what the people need to know. We just need to cut through the mountains of indecipherable bullshit he’s said while meandering around the point. Do him a favor and edit that down to his actual stance, as succinctly and clearly as possible. Don’t turn it into a joke making fun of how terrible he is at speaking, show people what he really wants to do.

        Imagine Kamala debating Alec Baldwin as Trump. I know he’s persona non grata right now, but Trump’s meltdown would be bigger than Vesuvius

          Tbh right now they have a way better Trump impersonator on SNL than Alec Baldwin anyway. She should legit go on SNL and do a fake debate with him. But I don’t think NBC would actually allow it.

            It would be better if they got a terrible one. Like Keenan in a blonde wig.

              I can definitely see the appeal of going that direction too. But for me personally, the current guy James Austin Johnson nails the “Trump is a rambling stream-of-consciousness insane liar who doesn’t even use English correctly” angle so perfectly that he’s the one I’d opt for.

      That would be funny, but I dont think it’d land well at all. She’d be mocked like when Clint Eastwood debated the chair.
