The day before the debate, the GOP's leading lights are all yammering about a patently false story about Haitians in Ohio eating house pets (and ducks, which...yeah). I think we can probably agree that Trump will call Harris a Haitian and it will be ignored by the media.
The degree to which Trump will lapse into racism is a really "interesting question" if you're devoid of feeling for the national experiment in democracy and decency. The expectations game is part of the debate process, and I worry that if Trump doesn't actively use the N-word, he will be lauded for his restraint.
The consensus seems to be that Harris is going to try and get under Trump's skin so that he says something awful. I wish I could believe that if Trump came out and called her a slur it would have an appreciable difference on the election.
