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.
 
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?
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.
 
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.
1%? No way in hell.

And Biden isn’t on the ticket.

This does provide dems something to clutch their pearls over.
 
NPR’s nothing but consistent - leads off its 2:00 pm news report with Biden’s gaffe and Harris’s response.
