in Frank Luntz's focus group, Ruthie from PA (upper right corner) said she was undecided coming into tonight..... but now likes Biden b/c Trump was behaving like a "crackhead" and made the debate impossible to watch
Luke from Wisconsin (red shirt) says Trump is obnoxious and unpresidential... but that behavior doesn't affect his bottom line, doesn't impact his day-to-day life (like the violence he's seen in Kenosha)
Jeremy from AZ says he's still undecided because he doesn't like Trump but Democrats haven't given him a good reason to vote *for Biden*

Meanwhile, when Frank asks everyone to associate a word or phrase with Biden, the vast majority are positive in nature.... and several people say Biden was much sharper than they expected him to be, exceeded expectations, etc

(brilliant work by Team Trump w/ the senile strategy)
Bob Woodward slides in, asks the group which candidate would put together a better cabinet... almost everyone says Biden.... but several say they'd feel a LOT better if Biden named some key admin figures ahead of time (one guy says he's afraid Biden will name AOC to his cabinet)
Travis from Arizona lays waste to Trump for not denouncing white supremacists/right-wing militias -- "easiest thing he could have done"

Nick from Arizona agrees it was Trump's worst moment -- "why? why?" he kept asking himself when Trump didn't seize that moment
Luntz tells his panelists how bad things were in the debate hall; how people looked shocked and disgusted by the proceedings. He says he's worried for the country, and asks for closing thoughts.

Mike from Iowa: "We all want to be better than this. Please start acting like it."
That's a wrap on @FrankLuntz superb focus group.

Not sure if Ruthie realizes she's become a cult hero.
