He was just dominated by a strong black woman who made him look like a deranged idiot. She was laughing at him, at his impotence. Anyone who supports him will be subject to undefensible humiliation, There will now be MAGAs who will pretend they were just undecided all along, and will now probably not vote. Just my gut instinct about human nature. No one wants to back a loser. I make no prediction about how many, but even a percentage point would make a big difference.

(56,261 posts)I think it's huge having so many prominent republicans coming out for Kamala. It lets republicans see that it isn't disloyal to vote for a democrat if only just this once.
I think they need that after all the brainwashing. They're programmed not to take our word for it.

(19,749 posts)I agree very much that part of the MAGAt intoxication is the myth of being on the winning side. The problem is breaking the seal/generating momentum in the first place to establish him as a loser. Denialism and cognitive dissonance are strong with them, as are information/rhetoric silo-ing.

Others might still have some ability to reason and might not vote.
Red hat wearing MAGAs voting for Harris? I dont see that happening, but if they stay home thats a win.

(1,884 posts)Someone knocked him (metaphorically) on his ass in a debate. Kamala came out loaded for bear with all guns blazing. You go girl. Your cheering section is jumping up and down for you.
