Im so glad she emphasized economic bullet points right away. Mentioned the WSJ poll of economists, which found that most said Trumps policies will be more inflationary than will Harris policies.

(241 posts)The PA voters who are looking for a reason to vote for her need to hear this constantly. Here in SW PA, the economy is absolutely booming. That message is not getting out enough. Everyone has money to spend and they are spending it.
I keep saying this there are a lot of former trump voters who will not vote for him. Theyre looking for a reason to vote for her. The negative ads against him dont work. They already arent voting for him. The message from Kamala must be the economy. Tax cuts.
A big portion of the news around here is focused on a pretty large tax increase being proposed for Allegheny County, where Pittsburgh is located. Her economy message will drown that out which will help.
Im so glad to hear shes on point tonight. If she wants those former trump voters, keep talking about the booming economy.

(241 posts)His name shouldnt even be mentioned. The people are looking for the reason to vote FOR Kamala. The booming economy that she and President Biden brought to us should be the main message. People here are over trump. They arent voting for him, they dont like him, his name shouldnt be mentioned. This election belongs to the fantastic Democratic economy. Thats the message.

(89,328 posts)...and the economy is a canard of an issue.
It's grievance politics, and meant to distract from the issues with Trump they (and the media) don't want to talk about, or want us talking about.

(35,777 posts)do not understand even basic economics and who don't know facts on how well the US economy has performed under Dem vs. Repub administrations. She has a strong record (and history) to run on and should tout it and her plans for the future, which most Americans who know them approve of.
Reaching and convincing MAGAts and racists is not the goal. The targets are those who honestly don't know the facts or who are may not otherwise vote.

(89,328 posts)...so, as just another American, I find voters singing this song completely unbelievable and they appear to be transparently looking for a reason to vote for Trump.

(35,777 posts)the economy even though the facts clearly show that is not true. Some of them believe that because inflation is higher now than it was when TFG was president, it must be true that he caused lower inflation.
Many believe that presidents have far more control over the economy than they do. Many have no clue about what the Federal Reserve does or how important it is in controlling inflation and that it is independent of the president and the congress.
Some lack a basic understanding of how prices are determined and the fact that concentration of economic power in some markets (e.g., by companies that control 50% or more of market share) is a huge factor (see Robert Reich for discussion of this).
These folks would benefit from a simple explanation of reality and facts. And the VP was giving it to them.

(89,328 posts)..they're not persuadable voters.
Not enough of them to win, imo, no mater how many of them are sore at immigrants and want to enlist in the cheeto Hitler's Lebensborn.

(1,377 posts)One reason I would like her to stop these useless TV interviews. Especially since Trump does not do it. Let her rallies contrast with Trump rallies. Will help her win election. She does not have to satisfy pundits with TV interviews.
