Reuters Focus Group Gives Nod to Trump

I doubt anyone reading this would challenge the fact the debate did not go exactly as planned on Tuesday night.

You can publicly defend Trump and say he won, but anyone who is honest knows that was not his best effort.

The good news is that what few good moments he had really hit home with some key voters.

We Like Trump

Truly undecided voters are all that really matters right now because no debate or commercial is going to change the hardcore supporters of either of these candidates.

That is why, when I presented my strategy for the debate, I insisted that Trump should avoid getting into an argument with Harris and focus on policy regardless of what she said about him.

Trump took the bait, however, and ended up going on some crazy rants, but he did make a few good policy arguments in there as well.

To that point, Reuters had a small focus group of 10 undecided voters who watched the debate, and six of the 10 leaned for Trump, three for Harris, and one remained undecided.

Robert Wheeler, a security firm executive in Nevada, was among those voters. Before the debate, he had a lean toward Harris but was still not sold.

After the debate, he stated, “I felt like the whole debate was Kamala Harris telling me why not to vote for Donald Trump instead of why she’s the right candidate.”

That is the same strategy that Hillary Clinton tried to use in 2016, and we all saw how that worked.

Another member of the group stated, “I still don’t know what she is for. There was no real meat and bones for her plans.”

The bad orange man strategy plays well for liberals and Kool-Aid drinkers, but educated voters want substance, and Kamala Harris is not giving them any.

I expect Harris to initially get a small boost in polling, but as I have stated before, give me until October 1 and I think we will have a much better idea of who will win this race.
