The third and final presidential debate is in the books, Trump breaks 50% approval, and the hard left plans another riot and arson spree if they lose. It’s the Friday LinkSwarm!
• Consensus opinion seems to be that president Trump
won last night’s debate with Joe Biden.
That appeared to be one lesson from a Zoom focus group conducted after the debate by messaging expert Frank Luntz. Speaking to 15 undecided voters — and yes, they appeared to be really undecided — Luntz asked for a one- or two-word description of the candidates’ debate demeanor. For Biden, the words were mostly bad: among them were “vague,†“very vague,†“non-specific,†“cognitively impaired,†“old,†“uncomfortable,†“elusive,†“grandfatherly,†and “defensive.â€
For Trump, they were mostly much better: among them were “controlled,†“composed,†“constrained,†“reserved,†“poised,†“con artist,†“surprisingly presidential,†“calmer,†and “restrained.â€
There will be more coverage of the debate, of Biden’s promise to end the oil industry and, indeed, more about Mr. Luntz, in Monday’s BidenWatch.
• President Trump just hit the
“Holy Grail†of breaking the 50% approval rating, hitting 52% approval in Rasmussen polling. All the usual poll caveats apply.
• The left is currently planning on how to peacefully protest if President Donald Trump wins. Ha, just kidding! They’re going to
burn everything down:
An activist group is planning large-scale and widespread ‘disruptive activity’ starting on the night of the election, in an attempt to stop what it predicts will be an “attempted coup†by President Trump in the form of a refusal to accept the election results.
“Shut Down D.C.†is setting the stage for mass gatherings in D.C., noting that the “resistance†must begin during the “muddied†legal and political debate over the election outcome.
• More on the same theme:
“We need to show that we’re ungovernable under a continued Trump administration…That can mean blocking traffic at major intersections and bridges, shutting down government office buildings (why should ICE or the FBI be able to keep doing Trump’s bidding when he’s leading with a coup?!?), or blockading the White House.â€
