Trump: Somehow A 'Woman' Is Performing Better
Vice President Kamala Harris has developed a clear path to victory against former President Donald Trump.
- 12 minutes
He was pretty much gone.
They said, Joe, it's over,
you're getting out.
And he said, I'm not getting out,
you're getting out.
And they were very nasty.
25th amendment and everything else.
He got out and they put her in
and she somehow a woman,
[00:00:15]
somehow she's doing better than he did.
- But I can't imagine it can last.
- That's right.
Kamala Harris is somehow a woman
and she is performing better
than a man Joe Biden did when he was
the one running against Donald Trump.
[00:00:34]
Donald Trump seems to be very confused
about that, but he needs to get over that
confusion if he wants to win the election,
because Kamala continues
to increase her lead in some of these
critical battleground states, which we're
going to get to in just a second.
Hey, don't scroll away,
come back, come back.
[00:00:49]
Because before the video continues,
we just want to urge you
to lend your support to TYT.
You power our honest reporting.
You do it at tight.com/team
and we love you for it.
Yeah, to me the most amazing part of that
clip was that he was genuinely perplexed.
He was yeah, he's like.
[00:01:05]
She's a woman, but she's doing better
than Joe Biden, who was a man.
- Yeah.
- Do you see like that?
And look, I, I don't want
to do identity politics.
I don't want to talk about race,
sex or all these things.
[00:01:20]
But the sexism was screaming through that
comment like he's never once considered
that a woman could do better than a man.
No, but let me hold on.
Like it's even worse than that, guys,
because it's not like he is comparing
[00:01:37]
a woman with an equal man.
He's comparing.
He's shocked that a woman like Kamala
Harris, who's much younger, is able to
perform better and be more competitive
than an 81 year old man who's suffering
[00:01:52]
from significant cognitive decline.
He is perplexed by that,
which means that his opinion of women
is way lower than even I thought.
Yeah, I mean he not only that like if he,
if he said it about, athletics,
[00:02:07]
the fire department, the military,
it's still not right.
But you get it that a lot
of old school people think.
And then when it comes to physical
strength and athletics, it is right.
Right.
Like, men are faster, stronger at
the highest levels, etc., and on average.
But he's not talking about any of that.
[00:02:24]
No, he's talking about the realm of
careers, politics, intellectual heft, etc.
And he thinks a woman can outthink
and outperform a senile old man.
That is so strange.
I thought she did that
on a debate stage recently.
[00:02:40]
Yeah, with another senile old man.
That's right.
So let's get to the latest polling,
because Trump continues
to dig himself in a hole by hyper focusing
on Kamala Harris being a woman.
And women are dumb.
And obviously some of the lies
about Haitian immigrants
[00:02:58]
eating Their neighbor's cats.
I don't think that's working out for him.
And you see it reflected
in some of these battleground states.
So without further ado, let's go
to this first clip where Harry Enten
gets into the details of what's happening
in the state of Pennsylvania,
[00:03:16]
an incredibly critical state
for someone like Kamala Harris to win.
Let's watch.
This is in the Keystone State
in Pennsylvania.
All these polls were released
in the last 24 hours, and we see a lot
more blue than right on your screen.
So Quinnipiac yesterday plus five
in Pennsylvania for Kamala Harris.
[00:03:33]
The New York Times this morning just
out a four point lead for Kamala Harris
Franklin and Marshall in Pennsylvania
a three point margin a little bit closer.
And Marist came out at midnight
or 1201 came out with a tie.
I will also note the Washington Post had
a one point advantage for Kamala Harris.
[00:03:50]
So the bottom line is there is a range
of results in the Keystone State,
Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania.
But it leans the leans
in the Harris direction.
Not one of these results, even within
the margin of error, has Trump ahead.
[00:04:05]
So I think he's right there.
I mean, you're starting to see these
polls trend in favor of Kamala Harris.
And again, the election always comes
down to these battleground states.
So Pennsylvania is important in
this calculation that Harry Enten has made
[00:04:21]
in regard to Kamala Harris
winning the Electoral College.
Remember, you need 270
Electoral College votes in order to win
the presidential election.
And so he then looks into two
other states, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Let's take a look at the results there.
[00:04:37]
Let's talk about some of these other
battleground states.
Yeah.
Let's talk about Michigan and Wisconsin.
All right.
So Marist College,
Quinnipiac University all coming out again
within the last 24 hours.
Well, this is not such a hard slide
to digest because the fact is
they both found the same thing.
[00:04:52]
And both of the states, Marist
and Quinnipiac in the state of Michigan
finding Kamala Harris up by one.
And then in Wisconsin
well within the margin of error,
but a one point advantage in Wisconsin.
So the bottom line is, at least
in these two important states,
these two pollsters find the same thing.
[00:05:08]
So in my opinion, things are looking
good for Kamala Harris in the battleground
states of Pennsylvania and Michigan.
But the lead that she's
enjoying right now in Wisconsin
is not really much of a lead.
So keep that in mind, Jake, before we get
to Harry Enten and what he believes
[00:05:27]
is the path for victory for Harris.
What do you think about all this?
So I had the race at 50 over 50
for quite some time after Kamala Harris
came into the race, went from 0 to 1,
and when she first came in,
she was still trailing a decent amount.
She caught him and and then it
was 50 over 50 for a long time.
[00:05:45]
Then I said, I don't know, about ten days
ago or so she's now got the lead right.
And it's clear enough
that she has the lead.
But today is the first day
I wish the election were today.
If the election were today,
I think she wins And I say that that
[00:06:00]
with not great certainty.
But I'm worried about how this election
is seesawing seesawing.
And I don't want it to seesaw anymore.
Five point lead in Michigan
four point lead in essence
in Pennsylvania are really good.
That gives you some confidence
that that's beyond the margin of error.
[00:06:17]
And even if something weird happens,
she still wins.
If the election were held today.
But Anna, you're right,
the by far the biggest note of caution
is Wisconsin's only plus one.
That's within the margin of error.
And so after all this, after Donald Trump
was talking about eating cats and dogs
[00:06:34]
and executing babies and has said
12 other maniacal things per day, it's
still only a one point lead in Wisconsin.
Yeah, yeah. And I that is concerning.
And I think it does speak to the
frustration that Americans have been
[00:06:49]
feeling in this country as as inflation
really did impact their personal finances.
Like, you really can't Talk about
the Inflation Reduction Act and the
wonderful things that were accomplished
for infrastructure when Americans
[00:07:05]
have been struggling with inflation.
Yes, it has slowed down,
but you have the high inflation
and then you have the high interest rates.
It's been pretty brutal for Americans.
And I think that, you know,
at the end of the day, what they end
up caring about the most is what their
own personal finances are looking like.
[00:07:21]
And they're going to blame
the current administration.
Yeah.
Well, look, guys, again,
if you're a Democrat, you're going
to be very frustrated with me.
But I my job is to tell the truth here.
So I when they pass those bills
they were like, oh my God FDR 2.0.
These are the greatest bills ever.
So why aren't they running on them?
[00:07:37]
Why isn't it working?
If these were the greatest bills
that were ever passed
since Franklin Delano Roosevelt?
Why isn't Wisconsin ecstatic over it?
Why isn't the whole country
ecstatic over it?
Because when FDR passed Social Security,
the country was ecstatic about it,
and it made an immediate impact.
[00:07:54]
And and FDR was beloved and one for terms.
It was something very specific
rather than like this nebulous like bill
infrastructure bill, which, by the way,
infrastructure is important and it's
important to pass an infrastructure bill.
I have already aired my grievances
with that bill, including privatizing
[00:08:11]
public lands, blah, blah, blah.
You guys get the point.
But infrastructure projects also take
time, and so you don't reap the benefits
or the rewards of that policy
until the infrastructure is built.
Yeah, but I mean, look, find a way to brag
about it if you think it's really good.
[00:08:28]
But the reason that they're not
bragging about any of it is because
obviously it's not resonating, right.
If it resonated,
they would double down, quadruple down.
They have all the money in the world.
They would run ads,
they would focus on it, but they're
choosing not to focus on it at all
because they tested it and they're like,
we helped the semiconductor industry.
[00:08:45]
What do you think?
Does that help you vote for us?
And they're like, no, wait,
what did you do?
We gave $50 billion
to these giant companies.
No. Not interested.
Now you could say, hey, it was a good bill
and the country needed it
for national security, etc.
But it's not resonating
with the average American at all.
[00:09:04]
So sorry, but I was right about that.
Not FDR 2.0.
They can't find one thing to brag about
in any of the bills that he passed.
Yeah, look, you know me.
You know that I was
very supportive of the Chips act.
But I agree with you
in terms of the political benefits
of passing the Chips act.
[00:09:19]
So with all that in mind,
please keep Kamala Harris's performance,
current performance in Wisconsin in mind.
And now we go to Harry Anton's theory
on how she can win the Electoral College.
- Let's watch.
- We average it all together.
[00:09:35]
This is all the September polling,
not just the ones that I showed you.
And what do we see in Michigan?
A four point advantage
for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania.
A two point advantage in Wisconsin.
A two point advantage.
Again, pretty gosh darn close.
But leaning in her direction.
And John, you know me.
What does this all mean
for the electoral map?
[00:09:52]
Well, in the race to 270 electoral votes,
keep in mind Kamala Harris can win with
just these northern battleground states
Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
So if we lean all of those blue here,
and even if we give Donald Trump,
North Carolina, Georgia,
Arizona and Nevada, Kamala Harris gets
[00:10:11]
to exactly 270 electoral votes.
So I agree with him
when he says it's still close, even after
he did the average of all the polls.
But that is how he feels.
Kamala Harris is most likely
to win the election if she if the polls
[00:10:28]
continue trending in the direction
that they're trending right now.
But what do you think, Jake?
Do you think that she could win over
Wisconsin, secure those three battleground
states and win the Electoral College?
Look, if the normal trajectory continues,
she's going to win.
I'm worried about a war
breaking out in the Middle East.
[00:10:45]
That would just.
Then you throw out
every one of these numbers.
None of them mean anything anymore.
Because if the war is significant enough,
big enough, it will consume the entire
election and people will vote because it's
top of mind, and they'll be worried.
Are we going to go to war?
ET cetera. Now it might.
[00:11:01]
Even if the war starts in the Middle East,
it might not get
that big by Election Day.
But I'm just telling you
that there are other factors here.
And remember,
there's another giant factor here.
Donald Trump could make 200 mistakes in
a row, and he could say that he personally
ate a cat and a dog and that he's Haitian
and he won't lose any of his base.
[00:11:18]
He won't lose a single vote in his base.
Right.
And for the ones that are leaning
towards him, apparently they don't mind.
They don't mind anything. Right?
Oh, he thinks a woman
is by definition inferior to a man.
Don't mind. They don't mind.
Right.
So he's not going to lose
almost anything in his base.
[00:11:34]
So. But if Kamala Harris makes
one significant mistake that's.
Like.
So significant
that it's about a quarter of the size
of an average Trump mistake, right?
The entire media,
right wing media will go nuts.
And the mainstream media, in order
to seem fair, will pile on and pile on.
[00:11:53]
And oh, Kamala, I can't believe
she said something wrong.
She said something.
Wrong
and they all scream it from the rooftops.
Meanwhile, that same day,
Donald Trump will say 18 things that are
wrong and outrageous and even worse.
But the uneven battlefield helps.
I know that for MAGA.
They're going to lose their minds,
but you guys don't get it.
[00:12:11]
The media overall, when you include right
wing media, is tilted towards you guys
so significantly and you have no idea.
So you've got that to worry about.
You've got the war to worry about.
That's why I say
I wish the election were today,
because I think she would win today.
[00:12:27]
It would be by a tiny, tiny margin,
but I think she'd pull it off.
But let's see what happens.
We got about 50 long days left
and anything can happen.
But right now she is definitely leading.
