Now that all the thousands of debate post-mortems have been written and read, we’re all engaged in debates about the debate. Some think President Trump won; others think Kamala Harris won. Some think it was a tie between Trump versus Kamala her moderator teammates.
I’m in the “Trump won” camp and I’m not taking it back, no matter how loudly all the baby boomer doomsayers keep insisting that he lost. Trump won, and we can prove it scientifically.
Everyone seems to forget what happened in 2016. It’s worth remembering, now that Donald Trump is suddenly facing off against a female candidate once again.
The universal opinion about the three debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton—from both Democrat and Republican pundits—was that Crooked Hillary won all three debates. She’s so smart! Look at her go! Hillary gave lengthy policy answers to every question, while the Big Orange Ape dragged his knuckles on the ground and insulted her.
It shocked the world when Trump won because all the Smart People agreed that Hillary had won all three debates. How did this happen? We know the answer because social science professors at New York University showed us.
They set up an experiment in which a male actor portrayed Hillary Clinton, and a female actress portrayed Donald Trump. They re-enacted memorable moments from the three debates, matching the vocal cadences, gestures, and facial expressions of Hillary and Trump.
When test audiences watched these performances, it immediately became clear what the voters had subconsciously picked up on—and which all the “experts” had missed. Political opponents love long-winded blah-blah-blah policy answers. Normal people don’t.
When the reason why Trump won dawned on the audience participants, some of the male Democrats in the audience broke down crying. It was so obvious.
The female version of Trump came across as charming and friendly. Every time the male Hillary hurled a venomous slur at her, the female Trump delivered a playful riposte in return.
The male version of Hillary came across as an obnoxious and psychopathic bully.
Hey, did anything about the debate Tuesday night between Trump and Kamala jump out at you?
Many people I’ve spoken with say they couldn’t sit through the whole debate. Kamala was just “annoying” them too much.
If a male version of Kamala Harris had stood up there and condescendingly sneered at a female version of Trump for 90 minutes, you would have thought, “That guy beats his wife if she doesn’t have supper on the table the moment he gets home from work.”
When I realized this, I almost felt sorry for Doug Emhoff (Kamala’s husband) for a second. Then I remembered that Emhoff had impregnated the nanny and thought, “Meh. Doug has exactly what he deserves in life.”
I’m also noticing a lot of conservatives complaining about Trump’s “delivery” during the debate with Kamala. They think he sounded disjointed and scatterbrained. What if I told you there’s a science behind that as well?
Have you ever had a catchy tune get stuck in your head for a couple of days? I’ve got a new tune from a Las Vegas-based rock band stuck in my head this week. For you, it’s probably some other song.
Here’s an example of one of Trump’s “disjointed” delivery during the debate. I’m just going to paraphrase since I’m feeling lazy today.
“These migrants—they’re pouring into our country! In Springfield, Ohio, this week, we learned they’re eating the dogs and the cats and the ducks from the park. It’s horrible! They’re eating our pets!”
If you don’t see it yet, let me rewrite it in a slightly different format:
These migrants—
They’re pouring into our country!
In Springfield, Ohio,
This week, we learned
They’re eating the dogs
And the cats
And the ducks in the park.
It’s horrible!
They’re eating our pets!
It’s pretty obvious now, isn’t it? Donald Trump speaks in a musical cadence. It’s not deliberate. He does it unconsciously. He delivers short, easy-to-digest bites of information. He conveys IDEAS that are simple to grasp and easy to hold onto.
Kamala can give her blah-blah-blah policy answers until she’s blue in the face. The reaction of normal people to that is:
ZZZzzzzzzzzz…
Trump conveys ideas, which are much more powerful than policy points, and he conveys them in a way that gets stuck in your head like a catchy tune.
These are the reasons why Trump won the debate. They’re the reason why “Undecided” voters broke 2-to-1 in favor of Trump after the debate in every poll. Kamala comes across as an obnoxious psychopath, and Trump will save our pets.
