Episode notes
Premature Election Declaration
- The media prematurely declare the election over, based on Trump's debate performance and the fast news cycle.
- This is unusual, as races typically heat up, not end, two months before the election.
Debate Impact Uncertainty
- The debate's viewership, while good, wasn't historically high, and most Americans have already decided their vote.
- The election hinges on small margins in a few swing states, making the impact of the debate uncertain.

- Trump should have tied Harris more closely to Biden's policies.
- He also needed to emphasize that Harris is dangerously far-left and incompetent.
