    Because a ton of people haven’t been following this stuff and need to be reminded of who Trump is and what policies he represents.

      Ok, but for real, do you genuinely believe there’s anyone out there who forgot what Trump is about? He was in power for 4 years and he’s been in the news every day since he left office.

      I just don’t get why people believe there’s this elusive “undecided” vote that will be flipped if Trump just says one more crazy racist statement or something.

        My aunt made a point of tuning into these sort of things when she was with my Trump voting grandmother. Listening and watching what a train wreck he is without the right-wing media filter I think was what ended up turning her into a Biden voter in 2020. I don’t know if my aunt would have gotten through to her if she didn’t have the debates and pressers to work with.

        There are a lot of people who don’t consume any news whatsoever. They’re too busy trying to survive to remember shit from 4 years ago and just want their lives improved. If you aren’t following this stuff day to day it’s easy to forget just how cartoonishly insane that fucker is.

        I just don’t get why people believe there’s this elusive “undecided” vote that will be flipped if Trump just says one more crazy racist statement or something.

        I think there is a small segment of voters that could be swayed by reminding them just how chaotic Trump was/is. We’re playing with margins of 10s of thousands of votes in a couple states so every little bit is going to matter.
