The Little Secret I’ve Learned From 30 Years of Watching Debates With Voters

I don’t think that’s far-fetched, considering Trump’s history. He isn’t known for tolerating much from those he considers beneath him, which is everybody, to the mind of the “stable genius”! :cool-45:

That´s not actual fascism, however. Trump tried a lot during his term, but nothing that disfranchised any citizen.
 
Worried about the next term and Project 2025 which, despite Trump’s denials, he knows all about.

Whatever "Project 2025" is, it is not Trump´s campaign. It is just a set of proposals made by some private people.
Trump has an "Agenda47", instead.

Just a BAD set of proposals, prepared by The Heritage Foundation that Trump has been lionizing for years. Now with the backlash against the project gaining steam, Trump goes into his usual “I really don’t know them” lie, like he did with every appointee he ever fired or who quit.

It doesn´t matter. It is not Trump´s campaign, period. If you dislike Trump, come up with some serious stuff. Then we can argue.
 
You're talking to a cult who doesn't give a shit that Trump is a pathalogical liar, a vile criminal scumbag, a rapist & a traitor.

But don't take my word for it. Just read the responses to your post from the willfully led by the nose MAGA herd.

And all you offer in return is the party of women having penises, and criminals are the real victims.

Also, open borders are not really open, and the next mass amnesty will be the last one ever, WE PROMISE!

It is an integral part of Trump’s campaign. You must either defend Project 2925 or admit Trump is a fascist.

If you’re a typical American voter in any party, allow me to let you in on a little secret: What matters most to you in a presidential debate probably isn’t the same thing that gets the most attention from the candidates, the campaigns and their allies in the immediate aftermath of those big televised showdowns.

I’ve learned this from studying American reactions to almost every general election presidential debate since 1992. I’ve sat with small groups of voters selected from pools of thousands of undecided voters nationally, watching more than two dozen presidential and vice-presidential debates in real time, and it still amazes me that minuscule moments, verbal miscues and misremembering little details can matter so much in the spin room and to partisan pundits afterward. Yet those things often have little to no discernible impact on the opinions of many people watching at home.

As the first scheduled debate between President Biden and Mr. Trump unfolds this Thursday, the key moments that will have the greatest impact on the remaining undecided voters are those in which the candidates attack each other in defining ways or undermine the political case that each wants to present to Americans. Viewers will quickly decide whether the accusations are fair and the responses effective. From Ronald Reagan’s “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” in 1980 to Barack Obama emphasizing hope and change in 2008 to Mr. Trump telling Mrs. Clinton in 2016 that she would “be in jail” if he won, I think those key debate moments made a meaningful difference in shaping the opinions of undecided or wavering voters who related to what they heard; I certainly saw it in my focus groups and public opinion research. These moments mattered more than any candidate flub or gaffe.


There are a wide variety of lies Trump could accuse Biden of during the debate. I suspect most will be ones Trump is guilty of. Like taking money from foreign governments. Or weaponizing the government.

NEW CONGRESSIONAL REPORT: TRUMP BUSINESSES RECEIVED $7.8 MILLION FROM FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS DURING HIS PRESIDENCY​


All the ways Trump, not his foes, sought to ‘weaponize’ the government


The House GOP’s effort to rip the lid off what it sees as the “weaponization” of the U.S. government hasn’t exactly gone well. The theories remain thinly constructed. The allegations have often gone well beyond the available evidence or even been contradicted by it. Conservative grumbling about the work product began early on.

The good news is that, to the extent that the House Judiciary Committee’s new “weaponization” subcommittee and Oversight Committee are intent on good-faith efforts to root out examples of the government being turned against political adversaries, there remain some great and still-unexplored targets dating back just a few years — from the Trump administration.
On Friday came merely the latest evidence of President Donald Trump possibly wielding the levers of the government against his foes. The New York Times reported that Trump’s former White House chief of staff John F. Kelly said in a sworn statement that Trump had floated having the IRS investigate two key figures in the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.


One hopes the audience will be impartial enough to see the facts for what they are. Or do research on them if they are unsure.
I see you posted this before the debate.

Project 2502 Is clearly a major reshape of the government web but ist it even defendable? Just like one or another racist cop is no reason to defund the police, indoctrination that may take place at some schools is no reason to defund the schools.
No, I have neither to defend this or admit this. I am really not a Trump fanboy. But if you vote Biden because Trump is "racist" just shows that in lack of pros you need to use cons.
