By Caleb Parke | Fox News
A presidential debate coach previewed the first matchup Tuesday between President Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden by looking at past performances during an interview on "Fox & Friends Weekend."
Based on topics chosen by "Fox News Sunday" host and the first presidential debate moderator Chris Wallace including the Supreme Court, records, the coronavirus pandemic, race and violence in cities, and the integrity of the election, Brett O'Donnell, a top GOP political debate coach, said Trump could have the advantage.
"If the president sticks to talking about the economy, he has a distinct advantage," O'Donnell, who previously coached George W. Bush, Mitt Romney and others, said. "He built an economy that was, by all accounts, one of the greatest in the last few decades. And so if he can make the case that he will be the best person to get us back to that economy, following the coronavirus crisis, then I think he has an advantage."
He added, "I think if he is forward-looking and uses what he did on the economy, that could be very helpful to him."
O'Donnell also believes Trump has the advantage when it comes to the Supreme Court.
excerpt:
"No one has yet to figure out how to debate Donald Trump," O'Donnell said. "If you approach him like a conventional candidate, sort of wait your turn, he defeats you. If you try to get aggressive with him like Marco Rubio did or Hillary Clinton did, it doesn't work out well [...]."
