CNN’s Alvarez: Harris Campaign Having 2016 ‘Flashbacks’ over ‘Deadlocked’ Polls
Breitbart ^ | 10/09/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/09/2024 12:42:52 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CNN reporter Priscilla Alvarez said Wednesday on “Inside Politics” that Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign was having “flashbacks to 2016” when Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump.

Alvarez said, “This has been a campaign that was described by multiple Democrats, allies, aides to the vice president as a good vibes campaign. But what’s also creeping in now is that anxiety. The reason for that is because these polls are not really moving despite multiple battleground blitzes, despite the opportunities she has had across media outlets. There is still not a lot of movement from voters who are moving more towards her versus former President Donald Trump.”

She continued, “In fact, I had one source describe it to me this way, ‘People are nervous. They know the polls are tight. a lot of us are having these flashbacks to 2016, too. We know when it can go the wrong way, and it can still feel fresh.’ So 2016 is the key here. When I talk to Harris campaign officials it often comes up in conversation. Where did Hillary Clinton have her pitfalls and where can they make up that ground and build on what Joe Biden did in 2020?”

They hope they are close to 2016, because they will fraud up more votes (to include the illegals voting). If they are trailing Trump by a sizable number, then they will need to revert to some extreme measures.

Wasn’t Hillary supposedly much higher in the polls?

The polls are meaningless at this point because media companies who employ most of the polling firms want them to show all their races as too close to call, so BOTH SIDES continue to buy up advertising. Election Season is Christmas for the media -- political advertising must be paid for UP FRONT -- so they want to keep the races seeming neck-and-neck as long as they possibly can.

Oh, so it’s like a Beach Boys song, except that’s a good song, but Kamala is awful.

Harris has been telling lies as fast as she can, the media have been repeating all her lies as fast as they can, and she still can’t open up a lead on Trump. Libs in meltdown mode.

“...need to revert to some extreme measures.”

Measures that even a blind bat of a judge can’t help but see, plain as the nose on his face?

A Guy can dream....

The descent from phony Obama, down through zero-judgement Biden, past DEI Hire Harris to Knucklehead Walz... it’s as if we’re seeing the result of political inbreeding in real time.

Whereas Trump 2.0 (J. D. Vance) might be even better than the original.

Harris is really next level. Hillary is a lot more evil than stupid. While Obama is highly overrated, he is not stupid. Harris is just too dumb for the job. She has zero talent or ability for this. At least Walz has run a state, though poorly.

Hopefully we’ll dodge this bullet like we did when Hillary was the donkey party nominee.

Trump and Vance really need to start stocking up on housecleaning supplies and equipment. The modern-day Augean Stables are not going to clean themselves.

Kamala is not making the mistake of ignoring the rust belt at Hilary did in 2016.

That said she faces a much tougher economy.

Kamala’s flashbacks. Heard a scary campfire style horror tale from Hillary more than once.

About to formulate a brilliant policy position statement for a swing state speech. Starts seeing a shadowy figure on the horizon. Coming down an escalator from the clouds. Out of the mist she sees he has an orange glow and a profuse amount of yellow hair. Smiling. Closer and closer. Nowhere for Kamala to run. Arrrrgggghhhhhh.🥶
