She had a prewritten, audience-tested and scripted zinger to give ......with no back input from Trump. Yep, she ‘crushed’ it. Problem is that IF Donald Trump had been there and wanted to “say something to her face,” he WOULD have.

I’m sorry....setting up uncontested ‘zingers’ just isn’t her style. Not in real-time.

In the first Rocky movie, Apollo Creed’s trainer caught a TV News piece of Rocky beating up slabs of beef but good. He tried to get Creed’s attention so he could see just what he would face. Creed, who was getting caught up in the fanfare of this fight, blew him off.

Creed got dropped in the first round.

Yes, it’s a movie. And yea, Creed won that fight.

But there is a lesson being overlooked at our own peril.

Harris is a zero. But she’s got the MSM, print journalism, Tik -Tok, the entertainment-industrial complex, unions, teachers, every foreign nation except Israel and Antatrica, and everyone except normal Americans backing her.

Further, our side has done such a good job of making her out to be a babbling, cackling hyena that when she actually strings together a cogent campaign speech , those lowered expectations are suddenly pleasantly surprised.

And, by the way, has anyone WATCHED the Atlanta speech? While Rogan is a little dazzled, he IS right in that it’s tight, concise political speech full of leftist red meat. She even throws in a little southern accent - Obama-esque.

Ladies and gentlemen…..do NOT underestimate the requirements for victory. Yes, let’s not tremble like milquetoast pantywaists.

But if we ignore the vast reservoir of political ordnance the Dems can marshal, and that Harris apparently cleans up nicely, Trump will get dropped in Round 1.

One final important point. We need to destroy them at the ballot box. This will be close. See, you have to scrutinize the winning vote margin in those close states that tip the balance to the winner, ie the Tipping Point states.

Since 2004 every election except for 2008 it came down to the handful of states that tip the Electoral College scale to the winner:

- In Trump’s win in 2016, his cumulative winning margin in the tipping point states of Wi, Mi, and PA was 77,444 votes.

-In Biden’s case, his tipping point margin was about 40k votes.

-Obama in 2012, it was about 500k votes.

-Bush in 2004, about 16k votes.

All this campaigning and rallies and debates blah blah blah…it all comes down, in general, to beating the other guy (or gal) by less than 100,000 votes.

….and it’s actually thinner than that, because all the losing candidate needed was to flip at least half of those votes.

Given who are the refs in this match, Trump will lose the split decision.

Stop being Creed, and start drinking raw eggs.
