How Badly Harris Lost and Why
American Thinker ^ | 10 Nov, 2024 | Clarice Feldman

Around the world, even before he’s sworn into office, the Trump win is having significant impact.

Donald Trump appears to have been the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote.

Scouring the internet, the only Democrat figure who seems to be smiling is President Joe Biden. For the others it seems to be a time of mourning. A look at the results, their implications, and the machinations of the federal bureaucracy is in order.

The very best wrapup is by Victor Davis Hanson.

Harris-Walz were not the only losers: There were the media which gave him 95% negative coverage and the pollsters:

The polls -- with the exception once again of AltasIntel, Trafalgar, and Rasmussen -- were off, and way off in the Senate races. The pollsters’ reputation is again in full reverse and now back to their nadir of 2020 and 2016. Many shamelessly warped their data in the last two weeks to gin up Kamala Harris momentum, fundraising, and voter turnout. And to no avail.

There were plenty of indications long ago in key states of a Donald Trump thunderstorm: defections of minorities, anger among both the Jewish and Muslim voters, alienated union members, massive increases in Republican registrations, and non-Election Day balloting. And all were deliberately ignored by the corrupt media and pollsters.

The worst of cable news was MSNBC, which Comcast is trying to unload. I don’t see any takers.

The issues Harris-Walz chose to run on were wildly unpopular, says Hanson:

Open borders, hyperinflation, abortion deification, the transgendered mania, the crime wave, and the “green” obsessions all did their bit to repel voters. The “racist” Trump won more minority support than any Dole, McCain, or Romney figure of the past.

Their lawfare efforts proved unavailing, and this week Jack Smith moved...

Let me try that again, without the typos:

Harris didn’t lose nearly badly enough. It should have been a Mondale-grade defeat, yet she (allegedly) received nearly 48% of the vote (and counting). The media is 100% to blame for this, as they have ensured that a huge portion of the population is ignorant/propagandized.

Polling really does need to be controlled in some way. Licensing, certification, oversight.....something.

The whole concept has been high jacked by nefarious entities looking to push a particular narrative.

As has been said many times.....is there anything democrats touch that DOESN’T turn to shit?

The Dims’ ideas are finally being recognized by more and more people as the lies they are, lies the Democrats have sold to themselves, repeatedly taught to them by the Marxists. Every branch of the Dims ideas since the 1960s are just lies, outright lies about everything domestic, foreign and international. It has peaked during the Biden administration, and beyond it in society, where everything they did was wrong and the reality everywhere kept showing it, yet they wanted to continue that pack of failing lies.

There is no possible way that the Dmocrats created 10-15 million phoney votes in 2020. If you look at the State by State numbers, the reason Harris lost the popular vote was simply that they didn’t get the votes in the deep blue states starting with California. There was no earthly reason to manufacture votes in her home state but her totals were 4.4 million less in 2024 than Biden’s in 2020. That’s enough to have swung the popular vote back to the Democrats by itself. Add the same effect in NY,NJ,Il. etc and the huge swing makes sense.

There aren’t enough black men or dissatisfied Latinos to do it. And there wasn’t time to manufacture that many either.

Remember, Kamala had the unique advantage of TDS. Otherwise, they blow out would have been of Mondale proportions.
