i think the election will be won/lost tonight and it’s up to Kamala. Either moderates will have confidence in her or they won’t. If they do, trump will be playing from his own goal line. If they don’t then Kamala is done.
I don’t know. One side of me says nah and the other side says ask Joe Biden if a debate can make or break an election.
I think you are right that it is about Harris though if for no other reason than Trump is expected to be a lying pig and no one will bat an eye.
If you go with the polling, Harris will be targeting suburban white women. Black women have decidedly moved to her in support but she is coming off her initial high with white women.
Two issues move white women, crime (this includes illegal border crossings) and education which includes school safety. This is where I will be looking for her make or break moments.
There is also the Afghanistan withdrawal that Harris will have to tango with.
I know there is the economy trope. One of my closest friends complains about the economy and he has taken 3 vacations and bought a Tesla this year. Yeah, tough economy. I don’t buy it. Unpopular opinion. I get it, I just don’t see it.
Trump on the other hand may have to deal with a prosecution of his criminal and debaucherous behaviors. Let’s see if she asks him about what he did on Epstein Island why he wished Gislaine Maxwell well. That would be quite the sight to see.
