    But maybe it would have an impact on Trump himself.

    To do what? Have another debate? Trump not debating is useful, because it gives the media something to hound him over. But having another debate just becomes a new spectacle. It doesn’t benefit Harris. She proved she’s not Biden, which was the only bar she really needed to cross. A second debate won’t materially benefit her.

    he might say more stupid shit which could potentially turn off voters

    The shit he’s saying doesn’t turn off voters because his voters agree with him. The “Black people are eating your dogs” is just a saying-the-quiet-part-out-loud kind of racism that Republicans love. The “Democrats will let you abort a baby after its born” line is a lie that the pro-life people eat up. These statements validate the bigots and the fascists. They don’t scare them away.

    it could still get to him to where he brings this up at rallies and again says some stupid shit

    Waiting for Trump to say something so stupid that he loses the election is just democrats Waiting for Godot.
