      true - though it was more like the final straw. Bidens numbers looked horrible before the debate, it was already statistically basically over for him before the debate even started

    It's kind of weird to see someone asking this question after having just seen a candidate drop out of the race because of a poor performance. I think I know the answer to this one.

      I'm not so sure about that. There very well might be a number of nose-holding Trump voters or undecided voters who haven't heard more than soundbites of the man since his "late great Hannibal Lecter" phase began.
      And in a debate, there is also an element of contrast that isn't usually so plain to see.

      Yes. Typically if you have more money things don’t seem as expensive to you as when you have less money bc you’re paying less as a proportion of your paycheck. Thats basic math and logic, or at least it would be if people thought more rationally 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I don't get why these panelists keep claiming that the economy was better under Trump. The economy ended up as a disaster under Trump. Yes, the price of gas was low, because everyone was out of work and no one could go anywhere or do anything.

    Congressman Dean Phillips would have been a much better Democratic nominee for President than Kamala Harris. He had respect for Trump supporters and wasn't a progressive. Also, he won far more votes and delegates in the 2024 Democratic primary process than her. A Trump and Phillips debate would be far more competitive and substantive on policies.
