Trump's a clown. Trump's a liar.

Here's the thing. He sells. Always.

He does that if he doesn't know about the issue. He does that if he doesn't care about the issue.

Harris couldn't sell. Watch her talk about abortion. On some level that's one of the few things she manages to convey a sense of genuineness about. For everything else it's like she's saying "What do you want me to be for? I'm for that" it's fine if you're thinking that but when people figure out that's who you are it's more toxic then them thinking you're a liar or a clown.



I genuinely do not understand how anybody could listen to Trump saying something about a topic he clearly does not know about (of which there are a couple -- let's face it) and describe it as "selling".

I'm not at all attacking you here by the way. But I'm legit speechless at that interpretation of his senile rambling.


It is rambling but he's enthusiastic and he doesn't talk down to his supporters. When he's telling people that illegal immigrants are eating people's pets he speaks to his audience the way a friend would tell you that they caught the co-worker no one likes not flushing the toilet. There's shock, surprise, a bit of humor but not like he's a teacher lecturing.

Harris on the other hand. There wouldn't be a joke. She'd take some time to explain why flushing the toilet was something everyone should do. Then she'd finish up by letting you know that she too always flushes.
