There was a lot of dumb shit said in the New York Times’s focus group of 11 undecided voters reacting to fat former President Trump’s felony conviction, moderated by Kevin McCarthy’s former roommate, Republican pollster Frank Luntz. On net it probably wasn’t good for Trump if this is what few remaining undecided voters nationally are thinking as five said they would vote for Biden, three for Trump, two for Robert F Brainworms Jr, and one said she would stay home if the election were held tomorrow. But a lot of it was still fucking stupid, mostly on the part of the MAGA curious.
One of the Trump-leaners said he’s mad the jury convicted Trump because they “they listened to witnesses like Cohen and took him at his word.” Another Trump guy, who’s waiting to see who Donald picks as a running mate, called the fat bastard “an antihero,” explaining it as “Trump is not a moral compass to a lot of his supporters. He’s the bad guy that’ll do things on our behalf. He’s the Tony Soprano or the Walter White.” Apparently reacting to Biden’s response to the verdict, one of the RFK Jr leaners said “Well, I would say Biden now is off the table after today, but I think today’s action… I think Biden looks ungracious and looks incredibly weak to me. I can envision a scenario where a lot of undecideds who maybe won’t pull the lever for Trump run to Robert Kennedy Jr.”
The funniest takeaway from the verdict: “I want a president who’s going to be able to cover up a $130,000 bribe to Daniels. If he can’t pull that off, I’m not going to trust him with the nuclear football. This seems like such an easy thing for him to screw up. I’m kind of leaning toward Biden now.”
