MSNBC's Eugene Daniels On '24 Election: Maybe We Underestimated Trump's Popularity!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

File this one under, Ya Think?

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Eugene Daniels, interviewing the authors of a book about the 2024 election, mused:

"Have we just underestimated Donald Trump's popularity with the American people?"

Of course "we"—meaning the liberal media—underestimated Trump's popularity. They couldn't imagine that a majority of voters would support someone that the MSM had spent the previous eight years denouncing as Hitler redux, the proverbial "existential threat" to American democracy.

Liberal media, trapped in their liberal echo chamber, can’t conceive how Trump can be so popular.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

“ the proverbial “existential threat” to American democracy“

I do not actually recall the propaganda media using the expression “American democracy“. They always said “our democracy“. I interpreted “Our“ as the Democrat party ruling everything with one vote more than 50%.

The reason we are a republic and not a pure democracy is to avoid the tyranny of the pure democracy, where there are no protections for any minority viewpoints.

I’m reading Salens Zito’s new book Butler and this is a point she makes over and over. The main stream media just does not get it. They are wrapped up in their Manhattan/Washington mindset and don’t even know anyone who isn’t like them. They are incapable of relating to let alone understanding the average American.

Estimating, over or under, is not compatible in "The News".

Funny how they have become so bad, they fail to recognize the fundamental flaws in their statements offered as news.

And they dont want to know them! because they truly believe we are all sexist, Nazi, bigots, who take glee in hurting the most vulnerable.

If I believed that, I wouldn’t want to get to know us either!

LMAO

His popularity may drop if he doesn’t explain why he’s doing what he’s doing with Epstein.

They also underestimated how unpopular, Kamala, Walz, Biden and Hillary were.

More lies. They knew EXACTLY how popular Trump was by 2024, as they had 8 YEARS to figure it out.

What they may have missed is that quite a few Americans are not happy with doctors cutting the dicks off of little kids and other sick perversions of Democrats.

When you see someone who talks with his or her hands held upwards, with palms inward, you are looking at training.

It’s not a manifestation of emotion. It’s training. And the training is based in zero data.

JFK talked like that on the first presidential debates on TV. Poli Sci types declared that this is how you draw an audience to you, you gather them to your words, you are persuasive.

There is Zero statistical evidence of any experiments testing this. It is all JFK worship dating back 60 yrs.

The beauty of democrats living under the stupid power of white liberal elite 'group think'
is they're not only often 'wrong' - they're often so wrong they hurt their own cause.

Which is good for our side....

True. And a single 5-4 vote on the Supreme Court creates a Universal Right imposed on every one.

No...not his popularity. They underestimated his message. You don’t have to like Trump to believe in his message.

In the bubble liberals inhabit, Trump is the devil incarnate, and there is no reality outside of their bubble. Facts mean nothing to them.

Went to a show in deep blue CT Mohegan Sun casino last night. Jeff Dunhan started off by taking a temperature of the packed house. I’m sure he was going to tailor his 2-hour show to give the audience what they had for expectations.

“How many were sad the day after the election in 2024?” A smattering of a response.

“How many were happy the day after the election in 2024?” The entire area erupted in cheers, applause I thought was going to take the paint off the I-Beams.

Might I remind you this is deep blue CT. Something is very, very wrong with the vote COUNTING and REPORTING chain of custody.
