by most accounts kamla Harris had the debate performance that she was hoping for and the principle of cause and effect is going her way according to the latest Reuters ipsos poll which was conducted for two days after the debate kamla Harris now leads Donald Trump nationally 47-42 that is outside the margin of era of three the previous reuter zos poll had Harris plus4 so she's picked up a point after the debate also the polling found that if people who were familiar with the debate who watched the debate 53% said that kamla Harris won that is very different from what Donald Trump claimed in a series of media appearances and interviews in the hours and days following the debate watch uh what made you come to the spin rof I just felt I wanted to I was very happy with the result he had a 92% rating in one poll 80 to 20 I told that to Brett Bear and we sent him a lot of polls and we sent you a lot of polls this morning we had an 86% rating and another we had 77% 92 to7 9 Mr President speak louder 88 to 11 86 to three wow I mean 71% to like 24 or 25% why don't you do a shout out poll who they thought won the debate last night it would be great HS are indicating that we got 90% 60% 72% 71% and 89% where are you getting these numbers from where is he getting those numbers from where is he getting those numbers from he is pulling them out of his ass seriously by all accounts at least According to some of the according to all of the reporting Donald Trump when he walked off the stage he was told by his staff oh great job boss you did a terrific job they were soothing his ego but then those same Trump advisers went to the media and acknowledged that he had blown it that he was all over the map that he lied repeatedly that he didn't stay focused on KLA Harris's record that he he went for the bait that she laid and so essentially the debate was on her terms and again the instant polling found that Donald Trump had lost the debate and now several days after the debate there's a clear impact on the national polling we mentioned the Reuters ipsos poll that has kamla Harris ahead nationally Now by five here's some of the other polling morning consult which was conducted the day after the debate Harris 50 Donald Trump 45 that's another fivepoint difference and that is outside the poll's margin of error of three the New York Post owned by the Murdoch family Republicans KL Harris 50 Donald Trump 47 the margin of air and that is 2.7 so again outside the margin of air rasm reports which was a republican poll and this was done actually going into the debate had Harris 47 Donald Trump 49 but that was within the poll's margin of er of three that is the last poll to show Donald Trump winning nationally and again a lot of people disregard the rasm reports poll because it is tended to be it's run by a republican organization and tends to be waiting towards Republican voters in the wake of the debate and again Democrats are thrilled Republicans if you'll get people from the Trump campaign away from the microphones and off the Record they'll tell you was a disaster so naturally kamla Harris is asking for a second presidential debate uh we'll play you that clip and also here is what Donald and at the end of that we'll play what Donald Trump is saying about that watch so North Carolina two nights ago Donald Trump and I had our debates you watched it did you watch it and look I believe we owe it to have another debate right we owe it to the voters so because we've done two debates and because they were successful there will be no third debate the two anchors David M and Lindsey Davis sat there and only corrected me on things where I was right but didn't correct Cala on Project 25 that I knew nothing about so because we've done two debates and because they were successful there will be no third debate there will be no third debate and Donald Trump of course is counting the debate with Joe Biden and suggesting that he's had enough debates with Democrats um but like a lot of things Donald Trump said says I would not take this threat not to have another debate I would not take that to the back and there are a lot of reasons for it first of all generally when somebody is trailing in a political campaign it behooves them to actually have a debate to try to change the narrative uh and plus Donald Trump still has some opportunities if he does another debate to try to go after some of the things that he didn't go after KL Harris in this one and that is to try to go after things like her flip-flops on policy and so what exactly are her particular policies and to try to paint this narrative that um that hasn't stuck to KLA Harris that she is somehow this San Francisco Ultra liberal fascist communist whatever Republicans want to come up with and again Donald Trump was not able to even sort of um scratch the surface in those efforts at this debate because he took the the bait from K Harris and went after things that were sort of you know Donald Trump sort of lies and and she got under his skin and she Donald Trump got defensive about his crowds so for a number of reasons I think there will be another presidential even though Donald Trump is saying oh no not right now and he'll probably have some negotiations with whoever the next broadcaster might be and try to perhaps maybe have the microphones open so that he can interrupt um and there's another reason why I think there will also be more presidential debates and by the way there are there is a vice presidential debate that is confirmed that's coming up but there's the reason that these debates are sort of helpful also to both campaigns is because you can raise a lot of money in the hours and days after the debate kamla Harris for example in the 24 hours after this presidential debate she raised $46 million according to the campaign that's $46 million on top of the $350 million that she raised in the month of August and that's money that can be spent on things like advertisements and get up the vote efforts and organization and establishing field offices so the money is important and debates are a crucial tool to raising money and again simply for strategy reasons if you are the person who's trailing it is in your interest to try to reset the narrative to have a breakthrough moment to be able to address your opponent face to face and break through Donald Trump can't do that if he does not have another debate now you may be thinking well why does KLA Harris then want to have another debate well she wants to have another debate and there's some divide here among political strategists about whether she should be asking for another debate or whether she should just take the Victory and go home essentially but the Harris campaign is convinced that Donald Trump will have another awful performance if there's a second debate and that KL haris simply outguns him on the debate stage that she's got more experience her prosecutor background she knows how to build the case and the Harris campaign also thinks that there's an even higher ceiling for KLA Harris in these debates and that she was a little nervous at the top that there were a couple questions that when she was asked about are you better off now than is are Americans better off now than they were four years ago and she essentially dodged the question because she wanted to focus on her talking points well she will only get better the Harris campaign believes if there's a second debate and so they believe her cealing is even higher and they think that again they can essentially destroy Donald Trump again bait Donald Trump get him off of his talking points and once again show the American people that the more Donald Trump talks the worse it is for most people who are undecided in this election so I would look for another presidential debate interesting strategy normally the per the person who's the front run will say no no we're not going to have any more debates were done but in this case uh everything is sort of thrown out the window Donald Trump is a unique candidate um and the usual rules of politics do not apply
