She should have said of course we're better off. I would guess the theory is it pisses people off when you tell them they are better off but they don't agree and there are a lot of people who have persuaded themselves they are suffering even if they are not. I read Krugman's columns in the NYT and all year as he has been providing figures about inflation falling the comments in response have been absolutely acidic - people don't believe him even as he has provided the numbers. So it's a case where you don't need to argue to those who believe you, you have to pacify those that don't. Edited September 11, 2024 by gehringer_2 Quote

In 2016 Hillary got a big bounce of the 1st debate but it evaporated by the election - at least in part because she was not as good in the later debates but lots of other reasons as well. If there had been only one would it have been better for her? Who knows? Quote

The much discussed Times poll from the weekend did have a crosstab that said that upwards of 30% needed to know more (versus 10% for him, believe it or not). So yeah, addition 100% is the target...
