Trump has been cancelling appearances left and right and refuses to do another debate after getting his ass handed to him in the last one, but Kamala Harris who unlike Trump did the 60 minute interview and went on Fox News is the coward because she hasn't yet gone on with Joe Rogan?
For me though; Trump going on CNN or Harris going on Fox or either going to favorable stations doesn't take much guts. If Trump goes on CNN, CNN asks him a question, and Trump dodges it, then anyone who would have already voted against Trump would still vote against him and vice versa. Same with Harris going on Fox News.
Trump or Harris going on CNN or Fox is like them campaigning in California or South Dakota; there's no point.
Trump or Harris going to battleground states/battleground people (like Joe Rogan) takes courage because Rogan's audience is much more independently leaning; so if Trump said, "the Haitians are eating the pets" on the JRE podcast, then it would be much more devastating to his campaign than if he said it to Fox or CNN or even a national debate (because virtually everyone who watches national debates has their mind made up; this isn't nearly as true for JRE's audience).
A national debate is like a US POTUS election without AZ, NV, MI, and the other swing states as pretty much everyone watching those debates made up their minds; a JRE podcast is like an election with just 6 swing states and maybe 3 left and 4 right wing states. Rogan's audience is way more persuadable then a national debate's audience.
Virtually nobody who watches a 60 minute interviews regularly is genuinely open to voting for either; they made up their minds on Harris I think (which is fine; but it's pointless for Trump to try and win people with a Delaware mindset (Delaware mindset= slightly left, but no way are they voting red)).
If you're voting for Trump this is not why.
I didn't vote Trump; I voted for Chase Oliver; but I prefer Trump to Harris right now.
Setting aside why you think Joe Rogan is the political god that all presidential candidates must answer to...
- Rogan covers politics.
- Rogan is the biggest podcaster in the world.
- Rogan is an independent guy. He is left on some issues (abortion, gaza, medicare for all, weed) and right wing on others (guns, vaccine mandates, free speech).
- His audience largely leans the same way on the left/right spectrum.
- He is curious; not argumentative.
The evidence that Trump is a fascist along with every other claim being made against him is not because Kamala Harris said so. It's because of the things he says and does everyday along with the testimonials of the people who worked for him.
Alright; if Harris believes these things, then why doesn't she go on JRE's podcast and defend those views? She'd rather tour with Beyonce (which doesn't win too much support because everyone can assume Beyonce would be a Harris supporter; being from Hollywood and all that). It would be smarter to try and win over auto workers and construction workers and the way to do that would be to get Rogan's endorsement.
You would benefit from exercising a bit more critical thinking as you assess which candidate would be better for the country.
You would say that about anyone who disagrees with you on who's better, Trump or Harris, so, yawn....
