Unless the belief is that Biden’s comment is going to somehow suppress Democratic votes, it doesn’t matter how many of these hypothetical and theoretical low-propensity Trump voters turn out who are apparently engaged enough to know what’s going on in the right wing outrage sphere but weren’t previously motivated to go out and vote for Trump.
 
And, it might discourage some low-propensity Harris voters from from turning out.
I have long suspected that I’m the dumbest person on this board but now I must be the most naive, as well. You think there are would-be Harris voters out there who are going to *suddenly not* go to the polls all because a guy who isn’t even on the ticket called Trump supporters garbage?
 
I feel like some are taking an analytical approach to the Biden gaffe, which makes sense - everyone here is intelligent and educated. Some voters do not take an analytical approach in determining who to vote for or whether or not they will vote at all. They vote if they have time and feel motivated and vote for whomever they like better. That's why these October surprises (that shouldn't really move the needle) do in-fact move the needle. And if it only motivates 1% of voters who otherwise would not have voted in Penn., you may have a different President elect.
 
Arnold endorses Harris


My only Republican vote for governor, which in truth was a vote against Gray Davis. Arnold was pretty ineffective as a governor because he really didn't understand the power of the teacher unions in California, or really, most politics. That said, he is about as liberal as a Republican gets.
 
In what world did Trump disavow the comments? All he said is he never heard the joke, doesn’t know the comedian, and Puerto Rican people kiss him wherever he goes.
This same comedian was at the Tom Brady roast and was equally offensive.

Trump had to know.

It’s on the margins.

A few low-information, low-propensity Harris voters who were leaning to voting because of the Trump hate rally at MSG hear sane-washing media’s “coverage” of Biden’s gaffe “calling” Trump supporters “garbage.” They think, “Both sides call each other names. Fuck it. Voting is a waste of time.”

It’s not a lot of people; but, this is a close race.
