'I hope she eats him alive': Giddy panel of seniors looking forward to Harris/Trump debate

Any hope that Donald Trump's campaign may have had that the elevation of Vice President Kamala Harris as the projected Democratic party's presidential candidate may be off-putting to elderly white voters suffered a bit of blow on Friday during a CNN report.

In a clip featuring elderly voters in the key state of Pennsylvania, CNN's John King found a smattering of senior white voters who are not fans of Donald Trump in the least with one simply describing him as a "monster."

While CNN's Sara Sidner introduced the segment with, "Some say they are energized by Harris' has run while others aren't sure," King asked for a show of hands if any of them were "more optimistic" with Harris as the candidate, three out of four agreed.

According to voter Pamela Aita, who disagreed, "I don't think a lot of men will vote for Harris, I just don't. Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, whatever, I just don't think the majority of men are ready for a female president."

Asked "Who wants to see them debate," one unidentified woman blurted, "Oh yeah!" as all four raised their hands.

With King reporting all of them are "bursting with energy" over the Harris campaign, another told him, "I don't even like to hear the word Trump," she then added she calls him a "monster."

When voter Larry Malinconico was asked, "Are you looking forward to Harris debating Trump?" he shot back, "Absolutely. I'm hoping she'll just eat him alive."

Pat Levin, 95, advised Harris, "Get into those swing states and show her enthusiasm and her stamina strength, and be able to communicate strongly."
