    “Harris reminds some men of their first wife. Donald Trump reminds women of their first husband’s divorce lawyer, and he needs to back off,”

    Those are awfully specific. Sounds like nothing more than a couple anecdotes.

      If Harris is anything like my first wife, I’ll vote for her every time. After all, I’ve been happily married to her for 13 years tomorrow 🥰

      He does focus groups. It’s all about getting more detail, specifics, and answers to open ended questions to (in theory) get deeper insights from a smaller group of people instead of more generic metrics from a larger group. Qualitative data rather than quantitative data.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if he got those comparisons from participants. But (without actually watching the interview) I would have to assume that he’s using those statements to represent mildly negative sentiments about Harris from Republican men, and contrasting it with much more severe negativity among Republican women when it comes to Trump.

      Trump is most popular with divorced men. So… probably heard it at least more than once in their focus groups.

          He lies a lot, changes positions whenever convenient, and he’s pretty much always involved in one legal battle or another. He’s basically the lawyer from every lawyer joke minus the law degree.

        I suspect he’s even more popular among sex offenders, but they don’t get polled specifically.

          “Would you have flown with Trump to Epstein island and gotten a totally-appropriate massage from a thirteen year old girl complete with happy ending? And would you vote for Trump today?”

        The guy is a Republican, though. They tend to want to trade in their wife for a newer model occasionally.
