Not surprisingly, opinions are decidedly mixed on why President-Elect Donald Trump enjoyed such a decisive victory over Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in Tuesday's presidential election.
Perhaps the most disagreements out there on the "how did this happen?" question are coming from stunned Democrats and media figures alike who no doubt felt certain going into Election Day that their mix of lawfare and demonization of the former president as the "next Hitler" would ultimately be his undoing.
Not only did it not turn out that way, but the tactics backfired bigly, with Trump crushing the Harris-Walz ticket, winning not only more than the required electoral votes but the popular vote as well, with the latter adding insult to injury considering all the arguments from the left about how we need to turn presidential elections into popular vote contests.

I do, too. I’m just curious why they didn’t go all out in stealing it this time for the presidency.
There are many reasons—but let us give credit where it is due.
The Trump campaign staff were professionals this time—and knew what they were doing and how to deal with Democrat liars and cheaters.
Also the Dem cheating is still apparent imo.
Did Trump really lose almost 2M votes since 2020?
No way Harris was that close when we also gained larger minority percentages. We still need some lawsuits!
“Sister Toldjah”
Brilliant.
Obama got way over his skis,Hamas War, watching Biden, Diddy saving,campus Riots,Kamala media hiding. Trump lawfare.Obama thought himself capable of doing it all.He is a vengeful failure that deserves everything coming to him.I figured God is just toying with him for fun or he’d be gone.
Bingo. We need to pound the narrative “where did the 15 million voters go?” until it gets picked up by the media. It is now so obvious that 2020 was stolen, no one can look away. Moreover the 2020 election cabal must be punished. We know Obama was the king pin.
We use their narrative against them.
“the tactics backfired bigly”
I think their tactics successfully made millions terrified by the idea of Donald Trump. They just ran out of people whom they could influence.
Trump and FDR, yes
I agree.
Less obvious and maybe they can keep their machine running over the next 4 yrs.
Your numbers since 2004 emphasize the very slow growth of the democrats since 2004, and the tremendous jumps made when Trump was the candidate.
But. Obama II (2012), Hillary I (2016), and Obama-Biden-Harris III (2024) are
Obama’s strong populist jump over McCain, and BOTH McCain and Romney’s “bad taste” in their two campaigns (republican numbers were down when either “Republican insider chosen by GROPElite”) are obvious.
Yes, I have said, since 2020 election that I thought Biden’s real votes were mid 60’s million, not 81.
This time, the “vote till its too big to rig” worked. If 2024 were closer, they would have tried, but this was too many states to overcome.
Also, 2020 had so many outdoor ballot boxes that provided so many opportunities to ballot stuff. (See 2000 mules)
Finally, Lara Trump and her team of lawyers put a stop to much of the treachery, unlike the 2020 RNC head, Ronna McLoser.
We owe Laura Trump a huge debt of gratitude for help saving our country for a little longer, and praise God for His protection in restraining the Evil One for a minute in time.
Should have gotten rid of Ronna McRomney a long time ago, she did a lot of damage.
I went back to 1960 but didn't think posting more than a few presidential elections was relevant to the discussion on how 'ballot box stuffing' occurred in 2020.
In true socialist fashion, the left has also picked it up and they are trying to use it as a pretense that somehow conservatives cheated. You knew that as coming.
Good question. Trump was never going to win Illinois in either 2020 or 2024. However, there is a plus +600K vote disparity between the number of votes received by Biden and Harris. Trump on the other hand has received about the same number of votes for both elections.
Biden 3,471K
Harris 2,837K so far with 96% votes in
T 2020 2,446K
T 2024 2,393K so far with 96% votes in.
I am guessing lack of ballot controls in the Chicago area during the 2020 election.
In my humble opinion, I think that, in part the RNC did not help them this time (with the exception of Mitch The Turtle and a few others) The RNC had their legal game up early and shot down many of the attempts to cheat. Hopefully we will here more about what happened behind the scenes someday soon. There was a very real threat of prosecution this time with a Supreme Court that would uphold the law.
yes i was worried about Lara
she is a relative newcomer to politics
she ran one campaign in NC and lost
but she knocked it out of the park
I hope that’s a big part of the reason.
