I saw the clip and I wish the moderators or Kamala had the balls to ask:
He'd have 100% thrown someone under the bus like he did with Faux News, it was a huge opportunity to frame it in a way that trump would burn any bridge to avoid looking dumb.
I think the point was to show the world how batshit crazy Trump was. He showed it and Kamala moved on to the next topic
Honestly, it reminded me of watching a cross examination in a courtroom drama. You get the witness to say what you want them to say, get it on record in front of the jury, then you move on before they get the chance to undo any of the damage they just did to themselves.
It was perfect!
Everyone has already known for decades now. That accomplishes nothing. Causing him to burn more bridges however is a tangible loss.
There are a lot of people, who do not care about politics at all and maybe just go and vote in the next election. Please do not underestimate how little the average voter cares.
Votes come into 2 groups:
Partisans, who follow politics to a degree, informed, and already know who they are going to vote.
The Masses, they don't follow politics. They may watch the debate and probably going to decide who to vote on either one issue or on "vibes".
Yup, we talked about the election, and my coworker didn't even know who was running and didn't plan to vote.
