5:10Now PlayingThe New York Times pulled together a panel of undecided voters to get their take on the candidates, and they had some shockingly harsh words to offer about Donald Trump. The words “dictator,” “idiot,” and “clown” were all mentioned, along with one voter saying that he’s just generally not a good person. But if they feel so strongly about how horrible he is, how are they still undecided? Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this phenomenon.

The New York Times recently held a focus group with the undecided swing state voters and all, but one of those undecided swing state voters had nothing but horrible things to say about Donald Trump. In fact, here they are. This is from raw story in the Times focus group of swing state voters. A Wisconsin voter named Aaron, described Trump as kind of a clown, a Michigan voter named Ken, described him as quote an idiot. And an Arizona voter named Stephanie went as fors describe him as a aspiring dictator. Other voters in the panel called Trump, unstable self-centered and explosive among other things. Only one participant in the focus group, an Arizona voter named George, had a positive assessment of Trump, whom he described as patriotic. So all but one, you know, poor little George over there in Arizona, he loves Trump. He's a patriotic American rat. Everybody else is like, yeah, this guy's an a-hole.
He's a horrible, he's an aspiring dictator. Which begs the question, how in the hell are y'all undecided? Right? I, I think that's the story, right? The New York Times shouldn't just say, Hey, here's what these undecided voters think about Trump. No, it should be okay if you hate him. If you think he's gonna be a dictator, how have you not made up your mind about whether or not you're going to support him? One voter? You say you think he's a clown, so how are you still unsure of whether or not you'll support him? Like that sounds like a personal problem. That that's what drives me crazy. Okay, we're in October. We, we got a month left before the election. How are there still people after watching this, even for just a couple months, right? Harris has only been the nominee since, you know, Biden dropped out in July.
How are y'all still undecided? How do you still not know? How can you be that dumb? Yeah, that's the word to use. Dumb. Is it because you don't have time to learn about these people? If so, I'll forgive that. You're not dumb. I get that people are busy and not everybody is tuned into political news, but if you ever watch any news, right? Anywhere, TikTok, YouTube, even corporate news doesn't matter. But if you watch that stuff and you're still not decided, then that's, that's on you. Like there's something wrong with you at this point. I'm sorry. But there is, and these people have nothing but horrible things to say about Donald Trump. They clearly do not like him yet. These people are so wishy-washy, so flipping weird
That they can't even say that they will not vote for the man that they clearly despise. What the hell is wrong with this country? What is wrong with people? Right? I mean, that's what we have to start asking ourselves here. What in God's name is wrong with you? How can you look at either of these people get to know them during the debate because 67 million people watched it and still walk away from that being like, well, I don't know. It, it, it, it, it blows my mind. It just absolutely blows my mind. Y'all are the people that drive up to the McDonald's drive-through. And even though you've been there a million times, you're still like, uh hmm. Uh, give me a minute. I, I'm really not sure. I know I showed up to order, but I'm still not ready.
It, it, I, I don't get it. I don't get people with that mentality. I don't understand how you can live your life that way, not making decisions. And maybe I'm just burnt out, right? Maybe I'm bitter. Maybe I'm tired of talking about undecided voters and the independents and the moderates, and they can't make up their mind. Oh, dear. And I am, and maybe that's where this anger is coming from, but I'm not even telling y'all you have to support one poor person or the other.
