These focus groups are now a total joke, imo. There have been several instances just this year of CNN or another network doing one of these panels of "undecided" voters, only to have it proven later (usually via their social media posts) that several of the panelists were in fact Trumpers. On CNN one woman actually said she had voted for Trump twice and was "leaning towards" voting for him again, but CNN had still put her on the panel as an "undecided." It's ridiculous, and I have little doubt that the great majority of people on these panels have already made up their minds and know who they're voting for. They are lying and claiming they're undecided because A) It gives them a chance to get on national television, and/or B) If they're a Trumper they can pretend to be undecided and then announce on television that they've made up their mind and Trump is now their guy.


This sums up my feelings about “undecided” voters pretty well.
 
Maybe, but ask those around you about Roy Moore. A Dem won a Senate seat in AL in part because Roy Moore was diddling with young girls.

It also really, really neutralizes his "I'm your protector" argument. While that's not going to work on all that many women, it will work on some, especially older ones. But less so if the protector turns out to be a predator (which we know he is but this is better proof).
Trump isn’t Roy Moore. Trump has already survived a dozen political scandals that would have taken any other politician down. At this point I’m skeptical that anything he could do would make a difference.
 
That is hopelessly naive. 100% of all Trumpers will say it is a deep fake video and part of a desperate democratic smear campaign.
Oh, they'll say that too, but at least in private they'll say the things I mentioned as well. I'm not naive at all - admiring Trump for groping women is how a good chunk of his base thinks, as well as blaming women for getting sexually harassed/assaulted and claiming that Trump is God's vessel and so it doesn't matter how un-Christlike he is. They've been saying all that crap since he was first elected in 2016.
 
Well, that's a relief. It's just a normal, boring, garden-variety sexual assault and not one that matters since it doesn't involve a minor.

I'm ready to sit back and enjoy the collapse of our society. It's about time to stop fighting it and start leaning into it.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
 
These undecided voters on CNN are infuriating. This one lady says in one breath that she’s all up in the news with watching it on TV and listening to podcasts from NPR, CNN, and Fox. In the next breath she says she has no idea who people like John Kelly and Jim Mattis are and it all just sounds like high school gossip.
These people are liars. They are not undecided. They just like the attention that comes with declaring yourself as such.
 
Deja Vu all over again ?

I'm sort of out of ideas for how to explain to leftists that not voting for Harris isn't punishing her at all, it's punishing leftists and the causes they claim to care about. If Kamala Harris doesn't win the presidency she'll still be rich, famous, and politically influential. But leftists will see issues they claim to care about get worse all over the map - from Gaza to immigration to health care to economic reform. You simply cannot reason with some of these people; they refuse to acknowledge basic cause and effect. They always focus on this idea of whether Kamala or Democrats "deserve" their vote or whether their conscience permits them to cast a vote "in favor of genocide" or that they are going to "send a message to Democrats" by withholding their vote. They routinely exhibit a complete misunderstanding of political incentives and the way political power is gained and exercised. I don't know whether it's naivete or immaturity or what. Just can't seem to break through and convince them that they aren't going to succeed in punishing anyone but themselves and the people they claim to care about.

After she was introduced, Harris thanked everyone for being there and answered some questions from AC and explained the stark contrast between herself and the tangerine tyrant and included in that answer she mentioned ALL the republicans who’ve come out in support of her and endorsed her, campaigning with Liz Cheney etc… and the FIRST question was from a women who asked her how she would work with republicans to narrow the divide between us…. Like ma’am did you hear ANY of what she JUST said?
 
Dems have been bending over backwards (example the border bill) to work with Republicans for 4 years. But R's don't want to give any ground or give any "wins" to a Dem administration at the cost to the American people. R's then blame "Washington" for not getting things done.
They gotta "own the libs" at all cost, bro.
