I think scheduling a 15 minute interview and otherwise sticking to short scripted events is already a failure. They need to flood the zone with him being out and in front of cameras to dispel the debate appearance. That they’re not doing that is its own indicator.
I didn’t realize it would be that short. Looking online it appears to be estimating 15 to 25. It would probably be smart to just go for a whole hour, but I admit that isn’t likely.
I agree flood the zone is the approach needed, but this is a fine first step.
They were trying this the few days after the debate where he was at various rallies. Just him, in front of his own supporters. He imho he still didn’t come off all that great :(
I don’t really get reassured by rallies. Scripted events he can end at will with no on-the-spot thinking can be done to some extent on autopilot. He was apparently looking great at some generic meet and greets right after the debate. To try to bury the concern he needs interactive speaking engagements on ranging and potentially challenging topics. Town halls, Q&As with followers, late night shows. Let’s see some sharp answers on the spot.

My point is, even the scripted shit didn’t make him look good. If he can’t get those right, he’ll for sure fuck up another “debate.”
