I can only imagine many of his supporters are insecure narcissists? They want a "strong" leader that they can hide behind and justify their own aggressive views and actions
.If not that then I'm also 100% baffled.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these polls were, as Big Donny himself would say - "FAKE NEWS". Made up by the network to keep him and his disciples happy and to partly justify Fox backing him (even after they'd effectively ditched him earlier on in the campaign).
The whole thing is pretty pantomime, really. As mentioned, Trump - a convicted criminal, remember (but the Trump supporters don't believe that, obvs) - has already had one shot at president, didn't exactly do very well (hence being booted out), refused to accept the result of the last election, incited a riot, has multiple lawsuits hanging over him and he is STILL in the running for the top job again! All because cultists follow and support him, his policies and everything else that goes with him.
Even when he is now the old guy in the race (funny how none of them mention age any more) and spouts a constant stream of bullshit that is simple to dismiss. Some people are weird - and stupid.

I think this is the key now. There's nobody left who has decided to vote that hasn't decided who they're voting for IMO. It's all about getting those people who have decided not to vote to change their minds. Voter apathy is very prevalent among the young, but hopefully her performance today and the Swift endorsement will get a swathe of Gen Zers into the ballot box.

Absolutely it does - when Vice President Biden was on Late Night with Stephen Colbert after leaving office but before running for president, he was always referred to as the Vice President. It's a very meaningful thing to do. It carries forward to other World Leaders too, they will always refer to Tony Blair as the Prime Minister, for example.

"but, the immigrants. Save the kittens. She's not really black."Just seen it. And there's still people who will vote for Trump ?
Incredible, just incredible

This has been mentioned several times in recent months. It suggests that he really believes asylum seekers are people from mental asylums or, least, he cannot disassociate them because they both contain the word "asylum".

The difference in the closing statements was incredible as well. I don't know how anyone can reasonably watch that and want to vote for Trump at all, let alone be passionate about it and determined to help that whopper gain power.

Stunt double? All dictators have them
I really believe that they love someone who supports Trump and you make sacrifices for people you love but in the end when they get in the voting booth or mark their ballots at home, especially the women, they will vote for Harris and not tell another person who they actually voted for.
I truly believe that the moderators were great in that they let Trump tell his lies and then pointed out that they were lies and that they had gone to the source for their information and not relied on unreliable sources like Trump had.

Rambling old fool!
Wow... should rename themselves Fox Propaganda.
He would be very hard to negotiate with on any level: the sands of the conversation would shift 3 times during each sentence

So even after last night's debate most of the bookies have Trump at evens to win the election, with Harris a whisker ahead at 4/5 .
What this tells you is that to compete for President any woman has to be extraordinary, and any black woman has to be super-extraordinary.
The bottom line is that this election will be decided not on each candidates ability, personality or policies, but rather on how racist and sexist the majority of voters are feeling at the precise moment they cast their vote.

I agree. The only thing I can think of is that the undecideds are either people who just have trouble making decisions, or lifelong Republicans who actually hate Trump but can't quite yet vote against.
