NYT just ran an article on "undecided" voters they've been following.
"Voters want change-Harris didn't distinguish herself". "Need more specific policy proposals". "needs to speak more about costs and inflation". "Trump's pitch was more convincing". "When Trump was in office, I was living better". "Trump had the more commanding presentation".
Here it is folks. People equating the fact that Trump was in office pre-pandemic with the lower inflation we saw as somehow being his doing. Trump being a man simply makes him more commanding. Trump's pitch (whatever that is) somehow convincing voters that he 1) has a handle on and a plan for everything and 2) cares about voters.
As my wife likes to say; "you can't fix stupid". I don't like to talk ill about people, but c'mon, if those are your takeaways, what can I say? "I need to hear more about Harris' policy proposals." Never mind that Trump only has "concepts of plans" or is straight-up talking about a 20% tax on imported goods. A tax that consumers will pay. It's as if these undecideds see him as the Messiah: elect him and all will somehow work out as ordained by God. Everyone else needs detailed policy proposals and 20 different think tank analyses.
