Those undecided should focus on saving the Constitution.

By Pamela Paul / The New York Times

For those for whom the presidential election offers an obvious and decisive choice, there is nothing more baffling than undecided voters.

What could they possibly be waiting for?

Donald Trump has made it endlessly clear who he is. Those who count themselves as his fans somehow look at this whiny, wounded figure and see a tough guy and strongman who will stand up for people like them or at least someone who will serve their interests. As for Sen. J.D. Vance, the more he seems to explore who he is, the more he seems to alienate everyone else.

People who say they don’t know enough about Kamala Harris, on the other hand, have a point. Harris’ strategy is to stay vague, and it’s an astute one: It enables her to capture Never Trumpers, independents, moderates and liberals without alienating the progressive wing, third-party flirters and potential abstainers. This may frustrate those keen on more detail, but her campaign knows too well that every detail risks turning off potential voters.
