Reuters Panel of 10 Undecided Voters Agree That Kamala Harris Won the Debate.
Six out of the Ten Say They're Now Voting for Trump.

Here's a point for those who say that the debate performance is much, much less important than the fundamentals of the race -- voters want a change from Biden, and voters saw through Kamala's well-rehearsed talking around the issue and realized she was double-talking while doubling down on Biden economic and immigration policies.

Or at least that's what I hope this single ten-person panel means. Panels are made for 1970s rumpus rooms.

Ed Morrissey, quoting from Reuters:

Reuters interviewed 10 people who were still unsure how they were going to vote in the Nov. 5 election before they watched the debate. Six said afterward they would now either vote for Trump or were leaning toward backing him. Three said they would now back Harris and one was still unsure how he would vote.

Reasons for backing Trump? I guess they were looking for Kamala Harris to perform so well she overcame the fundamentals of the race. But she didn't. She just turned in a well-rehearsed, canned-answer performance.

The Trump converts said they trusted him more on the economy, even though all said they did not like him as a person. They said their personal financial situation had been better when he was president between 2017-2021. Some singled out his proposal to tax foreign imports, although economists say that is likely to raise prices.
Four of those six also said Harris did not convince them she would pursue different economic policies than Democratic President Joe Biden, a Democrat they largely blame for the high cost of living.

Ed Morrissey comments that Kamala Harris won on style points, and thought she was winning while continuing to hide her actual policy positions.

However, that's not what voters wanted out of the debate. Harris came into it as a cipher, and that's the way she left it as well, thanks in large part to the efforts by ABCs moderators. They rarely pressed her for specifics on policies, and only lightly challenged her wide-ranging flip-flops over the last eight weeks or so. Only a couple of days after finally producing an issues page and nearly two months of refusing to talk to reporters (except for 26 minutes on CNN), undecided voters wanted some "meat on the bones," as one focus-group member told Reuters.
And they didn't get it. Harris may have succeeded in zinging Trump, but at least in this group, her strategy to skate on issues and just disqualify Trump failed to land.

One point I wish Trump made more forcefully is that Harris is trying to pretend that both of them are unknowns, and no one knows how either will perform in office.

But we do know how they'd perform in office. Trump was already president, and the world did not end, despite all the many, many claims from the "smart" set that it would. In fact, the economy rose to record heights and we had something close to world peace.

And we know how Kamala's performed in office, too.

This isn't a battle of two unknowns upon which we are free to project our wishes. These are two very known qualities (particularly in Trump's case).

Trump pointed out, at the end (when most stopped watching), that Kamala keeps saying "I'll do this, I'll do that" but never answers: Why aren't you doing that now, then? In fact, why hasn't it already been done?!

He equally should have pointed out that Kamala keeps claiming "Trump will do this, Trump will do that" while ignoring that Trump was in office for four years and did none of the things she's claiming he's determined to do.

This Pennsylvania voter from CNN's panel makes this point much more clearly than Trump did:

BREAKING: This Pennsylvania voter just TORCHED Kamala Harris live on CNN after watching the debate

I don't know what CNN's panel said overall.

CNN did a post-debate poll and found that Trump gained on the economy:

BREAKING: A new CNN poll shows that Kamala Harris has LOST support of voters on who they trust to handle the economy, and Trump has gained

Pre-Debate
🔴Trump: 53% 🔵Kamala: 37%

Post Debate
🔴Trump: 55% 🔵Kamala: 35%

THEY ARE PANICKING pic.twitter.com/oIoQlcuJze
— George (@BehizyTweets) September 11, 2024

Major caution with that, though: Post-debate polls reflect who watched them, and I would guess more Trump-voters watched than Kamala voters, because Trump's support is very enthusiastic and Kamala's is not.

On the main point above, I do suspect these were people who were already on, or at least near, our side.

26 Trump didn't have a great night but neither did Kamala. She refused to answer most questions and looked like a fool with her mannerisms and that was with the moderators on her side.

Also, Trump is Trump and everyone knows that. There's still supposedly people who are Camala curious and I don't think she helped herself much with those people. She may not have devolved into unintelligible word salads as she has in the past but most of her rambling answers were still word salads when you boil down to it.

IMHO.

28 To win undecideds Trump needs to persuade them that

2) Things suck.

#1 should be obvious but...

#2 is obvious to the undecideds since the government has been looting non-government employee/elites for the last 4 years and the undecideds are in neither of those camps.

29 Speaking to Normies amd Undecides:
Elon Musk @elonmusk 12h
While I don’t think the debate hosts were fair to @realDonaldTrump, @KamalaHarris exceeded most people’s expectations tonight.

That said, when it comes to getting things done, not just saying nice-sounding words, I strongly believe that Trump will do a far better job.

After all, if Kamala can do great things, why hasn’t she? Biden rarely shows up for work, so she’s basically in charge already.

The question comes down to this: do you want current trends to continue for 4 more years or do you want change?

KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat 13h
CNN Undecided Voter: "My life was better when Trump was in office. The economy was better. Inflation was lower. Things were better overall. And now, with Kamala's administration, things haven't been so fantastic. She's saying she can fix the problems that her administration has caused, but I don't know if I can afford to take that risk."

We all were expecting a knock-out blow.
They were just looking for her to give a better answer than Trump.
She didn't.
"Let's hug and have a Coke" isn't a better answer when you can't afford a Coke.
Looked at that way, it's no wonder they went with Trump--he's already sold them, they just wanted to check if they made the right decision.

Four of those six also said Harris did not convince them she would pursue different economic policies than Democratic President Joe Biden, a Democrat they largely blame for the high cost of living."

Not surprising. Kammie is basically saying everything she currently believes about economic policy, foreign policy, immigration policy, etc., is based on what she learned from Joe Biden over the past 3.5 years. In other words, she'll govern as a cackling female bi-racial Joe Biden. No sale.

77 He equally should have pointed out that Kamala keeps claiming "Trump will do this, Trump will do that" while ignoring that Trump was in office for four years and did none of the things she's claiming he's determined to do.

If elected Trump will do all sorts of things he didn't do when he was in office last time.

However if elected Kamala will reverse all the things she's currently doing to us.

Completely oblivious to the part where they hold that belief because the people who told them Biden was sharp and Kamala was capable also informed them of Trumps poopy head nature.

So let's ask them how/what happened for them not to like him as a person? Do they know him personally?
See, back before even 2016, back when we had the birth certificate crapfest, someone said something like "Trump is abrasive" or things to that effect, maybe even from having watched The Apprentice. Now everyone has repeated that mantra.

Not one Trump supporter I know has said "Trump won" or even "Trump did okay". But no one is changing their vote either.

People who get things, truly get things done not take credit, are not at all what you describe. People who take credit for doing nothing, that’s who you’re describing.

184 I’m conflicted about all of this after-market advice to Trump. On the one hand, I tend to agree with it. In the other, it’s basically “Trump should have known that the moderators would take Kamala’s side. He also should have made his best points at the beginning, giving the moderators more time to counter them.”

There was something odd I noticed last night. Trump went after Muir often and hard. But he not only laid off Lindsey Davis, he helped her out against Kamala toward the end! There was one point where Davis was trying to ask a question, and Kamala Harris was trying to run over her. Trump just calmly said something on the order of “go ahead, Lindsey” and Davis grabbed onto that like it was a life preserver. Harris then just sort of petered out (pun not intended but accepted).

It was a bit odd. It was as if he were in control despite other appearances.

If we can't do something about countries dropping the dollar and applying for brics other than more sanctions or tariffs, our dollar is going to be nearly worthless.

Trump was very passionate about what is happening to the country. Disgusted and upset. This is the reality most people see about what the Dems have done.

Harris was all happy talk, about her optimism, but that is like the detergent commercial telling you how happy your family will be with their new detergent while the reality is we live in a pigsty.

I think people *unaffected* by the inflation, crime, cultural enrichment, might prefer Harris's talk. But most voters live in the reality of what she has done and prefer someone disgusted with it.

Posted by: AlaBAMA

Both women rose to where they were without having accomplished anything substantial themselves, but rather because they catered to the needs of powerful men whose sexual appetites rendered the two women to be accomplices as the men gathered their power.

In Hillary's case, she supported and enabled a serial sexual predator to exercise his predations. In Ted Kammie's case, she served as the compliant mistress for a married man. Take away those two "accomplishments", and what else had either of them ever done that would in any way count as an accomplishment?

258 I thought the talking at him, which she did for 65% or more of it, was a good cheap stage tactic they deployed well.

He beats her on talking to the camera and she has zero gravitas, so they decided to have her do the disappointed mother thing which is an archetype we naturally identify with.

Plus it's the real Kamala. All she likely does in her whole life is scold and smirk and lie, so they weaponized it.

310 I suppose it’s a failing of our nature, not otherwise tempered by faith, that people love to hate. In this election people who hate Trump, love their hate of him more than they love their country , more than they love their friends and family, more than they love even themselves.

311 We really need something to start a preference cascade against Kamala. Right now it's still close enough to cheat. A major, major gaffe. If she gets just a little drunker than usual and is asked an unscripted question, or maybe has an extra benzo before a state dinner. Just pray the Fates decide to pull the thread that unspools this twisted tapestry.

321 Trump tunes his schtick to reach regular people who don't have the polish of a college education. Many, including Ace, dismiss him as a dumbass but they're blindly wrong. Posted by: Ignoramus at September 11, 2024 05:18 PM (nFx0I)

Agreed. I was just having this discussion with someone this morning irl. He's done it for so long that it's the way he talks now, but he knows all the big words. He just chooses to speak simply and plainly in a way that can be understood by the general public. JD Vance speaks as an educated elite, although he communicates very effectively.

I stand by my assertion that, in her prosecutorial offices, Red Kammie performed purely administrative functions, like negotiating plea deals, play acting as being in the lead at press conferences, and the like. She delegated appearing in court and arguing cases to ADAs because she would truly have sucked at that task. So her "Imma bad ass prosecutor" was all a bluff.

Heh! No, I don't see that. I do see he'll say anything damn thing for money. If some conservative outlet paid him more, he'd be vomiting out something completely different. Most of these malignant clowns are like that.

If I needed advice on how to hire mediocre DEI drones, I'd ask a city manager. If I needed truthful information about the dirty underbelly of a city, they'd be the last person I'd ask.

I am going to let you in on a little secret. Hillary was much smarter than Bill and she believed he would be nothing without her- probably true. But Bill had looks and personality. Something Hillary never had. Bill needed the appearance of an all American family, but with someone who wouldn’t mind his wandering…..toe. Hillary craved power over being loved, hence the very mismatched couple becoming just that- a couple. Hillary just forgot the deal she made with the devil.

Kamala has gotten by on her looks. She didn’t need talent, she had pretty privilege. Her looks wouldn’t have done diddly squat if she decided to be a journalist, pretty girls are a dime a dozen there. But in her field? Of course they exist. Some prettier, but a whole lot of them uglier. She got to be AG, and then a senator because of her looks and her willingness to use every tool in her toolbox. She is still trying, but she is 60 and looks fade. Ultimately, you have to actually do stuff, and this is the cross roads Kamala finds herself, she doesn’t have the chops.

332 Her BS flowed fluently and freely, but it was BS. I will say it again, while her words flew out (and they did sound rehearsed), her demeanor was just ugly. It was boss woman. It was leadership. It was nasty.

334 Kamala apparently also had a mic and someone feeding hwr responses... probably to the unscripted questions she got from Trump that she did not have ahead of time to prep answers.

340 Hi, Piper, & greetings to Owlbert, too.

Regarding Harris "getting by on her looks":

Without wanting to sound like a real chauvinist pig here, I must posit that... I don't think she's particularly attractive, & I didn't think she was all that when she was younger, either. There are leftist women who are very attractive, so it's not just that I detest her political record.

Posted by: mnw at September 11, 2024 06:20 PM (NLIak)

341 @ 310; nice insight

Posted by: sock_rat_eez - they have been lying to us for decades at September 11, 2024 06:22 PM (UWgy2)

342 Harris said last night, "Every one of our closest allies is praying Trump doesn't win."

First, some of them AREN'T. See eg., Israel. Berlusconi in IT; Wilders in NETH.

Secondly, WHO ARE the "closest allies" who DO hate & fear the thought of a second Trump term? We're talking about the leftwing EU bureaucracy, and leftist govts such as the ones in the UK, FR., & Germany, correct?

Three, WHY do they hate Trump? Because he pressured them to pay their fair share of NATO dues-- which they'd evaded for decades? Because he warned them not to cozy up to Putin, & thereby become dependent on Russian oil & gas?

Last thought here. I suspect the average U.S. voter doesn't give a ratz adz what foreigners think about how we should vote.
