“Trump has 34 percent support among Jewish voters“

Might be much higher given that many of the people who have asked are not Jewish and many of the people who won’t answer Tend to be orthodox

If the question was asked only of those who were exclusively Jewish Grandchildren will be 95%Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris’s support among Jewish voters is at its lowest level for a Democrat since the 1988 election, when former Gov. Michael Dukakis (D) lost to George H. W. Bush. Harris’s diminished support suggests Jewish voters are uneasy about the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Hamas/Israel war and its management of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses. Harris’s support among registered Jewish voters is 65 percent, Pew Research found this week, the lowest mark for a Democrat since Dukakis lost to Bush with only 64 percent support among the demographic. Trump has 34 percent support among Jewish voters

When people say Harris looked “Presidential”, I think back to the glory days of Bill Clinton, staring straight into the camera, wagging his finger and claiming he “did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky”.
Was Harris “presidential” when she stared straight into the camera and told America Joe Biden was absolutely fit to run for reelection?

Debates are about appearances, and apparently, the more people are into politics the more they care about appearances. People who rely on what they’re paying for groceries and paying in taxes may have been better judges than people who were up on the “inside politics” angles and judging performances.

It’s said that voters want somebody they can have a beer with or engage with in other friendly situations. That may account for the Democrats’ and the media’s reaction to Trump. They had to attack and demean Romney because Romney was the Republican candidate, but they could imagine sitting down with Romney after the election and sharing some friendly chit-chat and whatever beverage Mitt is allowed to drink, so there wasn’t the real hatred of Romney that there is for Trump. For some reason and in some way, the Democrats and the media have convinced themselves that they can’t ever have that friendly beer with DJT.

I wonder about those “earpiece” rumors. Presidential debates are stressful for the candidates. Having someone in your ear talking over the other candidate and talking over the moderators, and talking over you might make it hard to concentrate and might not be as helpful as just having solid preparation (and maybe a heads-up on what the questions will be).

The Just The News story on it is up, HERE
Was Kamala wearing remote audio devices disguised as pearl earrings? Just The News Reports on what the product maker says. https://justthenews.com/nation/culture/company-responds-theory-harris-wore-audio-earrings-pres-debate-resemblance-striking

Quote from the company spokesman: “We do not know whether Mrs. Harris wore one of our products. The resemblance is striking and while our product was not specifically developed for the use at presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it,” Malte Iversen, managing director at Icebach Sound, told Just the News on Wednesday.

Further into Solomon’s podcast yesterday, pollster Scott Rasmussen says he polled likely voters about the debate on Monday. Only 61% even know about it. Only 29% of total likely voters were going to watch, which fairly well matches the viewership of 0.33 share by ABC.

Rasmussen adds that the propaganda media’s celebration will not persist because its consequences will be brief and too affect a narrow voter group, mostly already committed.. Focus groups from two sources show undecided voters either unmoved or else negatively affected by Kami’s “win.”

Were Kamala’s pearl earrings really pearls? Or was she getting fed answers by the latest greatest wi-fi ear buds?

Speculation has been rife, causing Just The News editor in chief, John Solomon, to reach out for comment from the device makers.

They replied we cannot tell for sure, but the look a lot like our product.

I share Our Gracious Host’s dislike of so-called “Presidential Debates.” They are nothing of the sort. To use the word, “debate” in the context of what specifically transpired between Harris and Trump is to expand the definition of the word beyond any meaning whatsoever. What ABC aired was not a “debate,” which implies a rational discussion of ideas, but rather a show trial in the nature of those put on by the soi disant judiciary in totalitarian states. That is, a defendant is put on the stand, subjected to accusatory questioning, decried and belittled until declared guilty as charged. The outcome is never in doubt and the process is not designed to do anything other than set the stage for the imposition of sentence. In this instance, Trump was in the docket and the prosecutors were employees of ABC as well as Kamala, who were alternately assuming the same position. The questioning of Trump was of the “When did you stop beating your wife” variety, and Kamala was asked questions along the line of, “How did you become so very wonderful?” When a substantive question was posed to her, she responded (I cannot say “answered”) with a scripted piece of hifalutin fluff, and was never challenged. When Trump answered, he was continually “corrected” and harangued to “answer the question.” The estimable V.D.Hanson astutely analyzed the process in his post on X. I suspect he is correct when he states that nobody will remember what the candidates said and nobody’s position will have been changed. It is also well to remember that the typical “undecided” voter (the only ones likely to be influenced at all by the “debate”) has the attention span of a flea, and there are still fifty days until election day. Many things can happen during that period, and probably will, to effect a greater impact on the outcome. The election will hinge, as these things usually do, on the turnout of white, working class voters. I suspect they will be more motivated by the state of their personal finances than anything else. Or at least, I shall hope so.
