Greg Gutfeld: Democrats Can Create All-Night Mood

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The debate reviews are pouring in, and liberal cat ladies everywhere are rejoicing. Sure, the debate got a five-star rating from the makers of Fancy Feast and two paws in the air, says Purina. The media, of course, is saying Kamala won, but why wouldn’t they? They’re so far above her that they can see what she’s saying. It’s like parents watching their adult child hit a home run in T-ball. Look, honey, she hit the ball and didn’t poop her pants. And this is just a few months after they wanted her off the ticket. Those were the good old days. Remember when Joe said he’d be a transitional candidate? He didn’t know he’d go from president to fertilizer. But now they’re so grateful.

THE FIVE MAIN CLASHES OF THE HARRIS-TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: “I’M TALKING NOW”

After all, she didn’t do what Biden did. With such a low bar, all she had to do was avoid shouting Allah Akbar or pretending that Maroon Five is an underrated band. Compared to Joe, it’s considered a victory that she didn’t show up in the back of a hearse. Plus, the strategy of baiting Trump with hoaxes paid off. It allowed her to refrain from saying anything about her past, present, or future. And that pissed Trump off. It helped, of course, that she had help.

She could never have spouted these hoaxes with such confidence if she hadn’t known she had a cover. It’s like the drunk girl at the bar who picks a fight and expects her boyfriend to settle it. Except here, the boyfriend was the moderator. Fortunately, it’s a relationship in which she doesn’t have to worry about a pregnant nanny. Today, veteran GOP strategists say Harris won. But remember, these are the same geniuses who brought you the Mitt Romney black hole of charisma, which is so boring that his dog asked to be tied to the roof. That’s an old story. But what about the voters? Remember them?

You know, the people who actually decide the outcome of elections, or at least the ones where Democrats don’t count the votes? Well, CNN, CBS, and Fox all spoke to undecided voters after the debate, and we saw a common theme emerge, kind of like a naked Steve Doocy on my birthday cake. They expressed serious reservations about his economic answers, and some found themselves leaning more toward Trump than Harris by the end.

Voter 1: He spoke quickly. She simply repeated everything Biden had said in the past.

VOTERS REACT TO TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT HE WAS ‘SHOT IN THE HEAD’ BECAUSE OF LEFT-WING RHETORIC

Voter 2: She didn’t talk about her policy changes from 2020 to 2024. She deflected on the issue of immigration and didn’t take responsibility for Biden letting people in illegally.

Voter 3: He was able to build on his track record, and I feel like Kamala was just deviating the whole time.

Voter 4: Even though the focus was on politics, I don’t think we really got to the heart of the issues.

Voter 5: My life was better when Trump was in office, and now with Kamala’s administration, things are not so great anymore, and she says she can fix the problems that her administration caused. But I don’t know if I can afford to take that risk.

All this despite the perception that Harris had won within the political class and the media. The New York Times even admits as much. And when the Times says that “voters weren’t so sure,” it means we’re choking like Biden did after judging a chili cook-off. Hell, even Reuters polled undecided voters after the debate and of the ten they polled, six said they were leaning toward Trump, saying Kamala was too vague, a big ball of nothing.

They’re worried about not being able to afford gas and groceries, and she hasn’t said anything to allay those fears. And you’d think she’d be good at allaying those fears, at least according to Willie Brown.

The fact is, voters remember she was vice president during the whole inflation-fueled period. They don’t like her and can’t even afford the eggs they want to throw at her. Keep in mind this data is from Reuters and they lean further left than Dana Perino after half a daiquiri. But do you see the common thread? These voters noticed something the media would have preferred they didn’t. Kamala didn’t say anything, which was the point all along. No one learned anything from her except that she’s younger than Joe and could stay up past nine at night. The only two qualifications you need to become the nominee.

But that’s the way Democrats want it, and ABC News is more than happy to help them. But even voters who don’t like Trump said they trust him more on the economy. So Democrats can hype up the night, but they can’t make you forget how traumatic a trip to the grocery store is today compared to four years ago — and that was before detergent was hidden behind more plexiglass than a prison visitation room.

People in the media can fool themselves into believing a fantasy. After all, the easiest person to fool is yourself, especially if you are already an idiot. But they can’t fool you.

They can’t make you pretend your bills aren’t rising like Hunter’s pulse after a game of pool. They can’t deny that your bank account is shrinking faster than Jesse Watters on a nude beach. And they can’t make you ignore the fact that the candidate they want you to vote for presided over this disaster. Well, maybe swing voters are smarter than the charlatans who keep lying to them. So who is she? The question remains. Too bad all the experts in the world can’t help her answer that question.
