Nolte: Frank Luntz Focus Group ‘Overwhelmingly’ Says Mike Pence Won Debate
Breitbart ^ | OCtober 8 2020 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 10/08/2020 10:52:17 AM PDT by SmokingJoe

Pollster Frank Luntz hosted a focus group and found the participants “overwhelmingly ” believe vice president Mike Pence won Wednesday night’s debate.

After the debate was over, he asked for a show of hands as far as who won, and told everyone they had to choose one way or the others. No one was allowed to abstain.

Democrat vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris only received two votes out of the 15 undecided voters present. The rest went for Pence.

“It’s overwhelmingly Mike Pence ,” Luntz said as he counted the hands.

When he asked why, the answers sounded like this:

“Mike Pence was more factual. ”

“I felt he was a lot more composed and I wasn’t a fan of her continual facial expressions.”

“He had command of the issues.”

“Harris didn’t look presidential to me.”

“Harris struggled to put together coherent reasons for different questions.”

One person who said Harris won said, “I feel she cared about the people and she looked presidential.”

“]Pence had] straightforward answers, even if I don’t agree with him on policies.”

“He kept his cool. He answered with facts.”

“She was a less fluid communicator.”

When asked to use one word or phrase to describe Pence, the group said, “presidential, robotic, he could be president, even-keeled presidential, bland, regressive, professional, unsympathetic, calm, cool, typical politician, comfortable, no emotion.”

When asked to use one word or phrase to describe Harris, the group was much tougher: “evasive, nervous, focused on the past, shifting blame, caring, snarky and sarcastic, too rehearsed, nervous, evasive, abrasive, unsteady, rigid, un-presidential.”

Overall, a big issue was Kamala’s “annoying” facial expressions and “evasive answers,” most especially her refusal to answer the question about packing the Supreme Court. A question Joe Biden also refuses to answer.

Pence was “even-keeled”.

Harris was “even-kneeled”.

“Harris didn’t look presidential to me.”

There's the key. Trump needs to take whatever money he's been holding back and flood the airwaves NOW with this message:

Joe and/or his brain are not long for this world.
Elect Joe and Kamala will be your POTUS within a year.

That's the way to sew this thing up.

....“Harris didn’t look presidential to me.”....

That’s essentially what I said in an earlier post, but I was more blunt!!

When she gets a chance to savage Judge Amy in the Senate next week, she will lose BIG among the overwhelming major of voters!

It’s TOO BAD that we have early voting and mail-in voting now. All voters should have chance to see the presumptive Democrat “President” (Harris) in action before they cast their ballots!!!!

And it’s lost on nobody that the democrats have put forward Biden as a placeholder and Harris as the actual candidate.

Who would want to listen Kamala’s obnoxious whiny voice for four years. People do not like her. She makes Hillary look like June Cleaver.

the reason you are seeing other stories trying to distract hard from Pence’s clear victory

My pretty non-political daughter, A SCHOOL TEACHER, said that the answer to the LAST question from the 8th Grader told her all she needed to know.

Pence ANSWERED her in a genuine and friendly way. Harris DID NOT answer her and instead responded with talking points in an inarticulate way.

Pence won but it doesn’t affect the election.

Pence knocked that 8th grader's question out of the ball park. Showed his basic human decency.
Kamala showed what a snarky skank she was.

Normally you are correct. In this case I am not so sure. Even among the precious undecided it is known there is a very good chance this horrible woman becomes POTUS if Biden wins. So the VP debate might be a little more important than usual.

I suspect you are right. Trump has loads of loyal and patriotic supporters, but his campaign has been weighed down with Covid and overwhelming media bias. Last night, Pence did a terrific job in trying to right the ship. Today, no one is talking about that but instead what a chickenshit Trump is for bailing on the next debate. Trump could not have waited a day to let the dust settle and take advantage. Just had to go with the ol “fake news” theme

This (fr) is an echo chamber. Go to a D echo chamber and they all think Kamala won. I think she set a lot of people’s teeth on edge as her know-it-all attitude reminded people of their mothers, mothers in law, or worse, the ex wife. But Dems hate Pence too much to even consider him at all.

I can’t believe she trotted out one of the dumbest lies about Trump ever. That he said there are good people on both sides of white supremacy riots. Geez Louise. That has been so thoroughly corrected. No way would anyone say what people think he said. He said there are good people on both sides of keeping or removing historical statues. Which there are.

Ok, that’s going too far. Kamala has not murdered a long list of people that got in her way. And Hillary gave up bj’s probably before she married Bill.
