It doesn't matter how good or bad he is in an interview or at speeches. His followers don't care if he looks bad, they swallow it all up. Harris doesn't have a following like that, she needs to make people want to vote for her.
Kamala made the interview all about Trump, when it was supposed to be about her. She blew it, big time.

I do agree with that... although given she was going to be watched by his supporters I get why she did it. I think she was trying to shake the loose ones off. She was goaded a few times but and fell for the bait.

I don't think it was a train wreck but as a lot of his side of politics refer to it - surprise surprise. She probably didn't gain anything but I have seen plenty of commentary saying she held her own, so she probably didn't lose anything either. And it reality she did stand to lose by going on Fox.

It's a very weird tactic for the Harris campaign to consist of a list of endorsements from Bush Jr's administration, but that seems to be the only style of campaigning Democrats/Labour/Labor will tolerate now.

Really curious to see how this state election plays out now... The LNP were always going to win I think but I think the last few weeks have really eaten at the gap they would have expected in seat numbers.

There is going to be a really obvious region/city divide in the results - the campaign the LNP has run has really bitten them on the arse now. They are almost a single policy party if the campaign is any indication and once they are forced off topic they look weak, divided and clueless.

The "it's time factor" will see Labor loose seats to Greens and independents as well as the LNP... that's inevitable. The LNP runs the risk of losing more far flung seats to Katter.

People are just over the status quo. And playing the small target campaign game by the LNP has really kept people at bay who wanted leadership, inspiration and change.

The LNP will win but I don't think it'll be the bloodbath many predicted 2 months ago.
 
Talk about the Greens demise is interesting. In the next 5-15 years the next generation is going to come through and 99% of them won’t be able to afford housing, so you’ll have a large proportion of the voters in this country unable to afford to put a roof over their head. In Victoria already, by 2026 millennials and younger will makeup 55% of voters.

Watch how quickly a lot of these people flock to the green who will offer big picture fixes to these issues.

Agree, last check LNP 35%, Labor 35% and Greens 25% of the primary vote in McConnel (Brisbane inner city). Won by Grace Grace (Labor) again. If the Greens can tip their primary vote up over Labor's or form a coalition with them in the short to medium term, the LNP will be stuffed in the cities and some of the green-focused country areas.

Greens are good in theory but oh so shit in reality. I love the election promises they spruik and the unattainable ways they wish to fund these. I saw the Green Plan for QLD report had a public property developer be provided $60bn for 100k houses. At the federal level they want to build 350k houses in 5 years. 5 years!!! it's laughable.

No Big Picture fixes here just a few alders of being out of touch.

Believe you're missing the point.
