Predictions on Cackles's strategy for the debate

It's now 8:30 pm on Tuesday.  The debate is scheduled to start in 30 minutes or so.  Having analyzed Cackles' situation, here's my guess as to her strategy:

All her positions from 2019 were staggeringly radical.  Her Democrat handlers know those radical positions are only supported by about 40% of the voters.  So her challenge is to decide whether to stay with her earlier positions--her true positions--or "tack to the center" by rejecting her radical positions.

Obviously if she stands by her radical positions she alienates a slight majority of voters.  But if she rejects her radical positions she has two potential problems:  First she looks like she's flipflopping.  Second, rejecting her radical positions risks alienating leftist voters.

But the conclusion is easy:  she'll change every one of the earlier positions she gets called on.  Reason: she knows she won't be asked to explain the flipflops.  Also, her leftist base already knows the apparent flipflops are fake.  Bernie Sanders explained that quite clearly yesterday: "She's doing what she needs to do to win the election."

So rejecting ALL her prior policies and positions doesn't cost her anything.  QED.

When she denies supporting the policies she supported before, Trump only has one option: to accuse her of flipflopping.  She won't care, because she knows the "new" positions will appeal to undecided voters and cost her nothing.  

Any bets?  (Posted at 8:47 pm)
