If I was a Trump Advisor?
Show up, talk over her constantly, don't let her get any momentum or make any points. Just keep your bullshit rhetoric and project, interrupt, lie lie lie lie lie.
The latter.
Right now the consensus (mostly from people who didn't watch it) is that Trump "won" the first debate and Bidens performance was so bad that's why he ran away in fear of Trump.
Trump doesn't want to risk losing that image by being slapped around.
The thing is, Trump supporters don't care. They're gonna vote Trump either way. But the "They're both as bad as each other" crowd of idiots who could vote either way will see Trump no showing the second debate as being afraid of Harris.
Exactly this. Trump can talk so much that Harris barely gets to be heard and if she does have a moment to respond she can't possibly address all of the arguments. Doesn't even matter if the arguments were good or not. The Gish Gallop works. There is no way to defeat it when talking to a large audience that isn't familiar with the tactic
