Here's Why Dems Are Bedwetting Right Now
Townhall.com ^ | 12 October A.D. 2024 | Matt Vespa

Amid the media’s efforts to prop up this grossly unqualified woman, the latest string of surveys is not good for Kamala Harris. Ex-MSNBC analyst Mark Halperin said the new private poll slate shows Harris at risk of losing six swing states. In the past 48-72 hours, the chances of Donald Trump winning this election have mightily increased. Harris is underwater with most, if not all, of the core Democratic voter groups she needs to win. It’s been cratering since the summer.

Trump is on track to have the best showing for a Republican among black voters since 1972. Latinos are drifting toward the GOP, and Harris is projected to be the worst Democrat among union and working-class voters. The top issue on everyone’s mind isn’t abortion—it’s the economy, where Trump has a commanding lead. Kamala has yet to put forward an agenda different from Joe Biden's or even explain how she’d be different from the outgoing president, who got pushed out in July. People see Biden-Harris as a failed administration. Harris's inability to pivot only highlights her lack of political skill and intelligence to do the job.

She needs to do media and has increased her appearances, but they’re all trainwrecks. It’s led to a bedwetting moment for Democrats, which CNN’s Harry Enten explained. Yes, Kamala is doing better than Biden before he got overthrown, but also six points worse than him in the critical states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania at this point four years ago:

If the polling error for the Trump vote is just as bad this cycle as in 2020, Trump wins in a landslide. And I’m going to bet that the media, with their oozing anti-Trump bias, has yet to calculate MAGA nation accurately. There’s also another factor this cycle: the anti-Trump voters who will vote for him because the economy is so bad.

In 2016, there were the shy Trump supporters and the Obama-Trump swingers who number in the millions. Now, we have another slice of uber-nuanced voters who liberals will never be able to gauge due to their Trump derangement syndrome. I'm not saying we should rest easy, but voters know that the four years of Trump were better than those of Biden. We won that argument months ago when Bidenomics fell flat. The key is to stay on message and not allow Kamala to kick the stool from under us. She doesn’t have the ability, but always be on the alert.

If Obama is now raging at black men for not backing Kamala, along with the lackluster enthusiasm for her within the black community, you know the Democrats are worried. Hey, maybe you could start by not nominating sucky candidates or going about replacing them through grossly undemocratic means. Kamala was untested. There was some slight pressure, and she folded. If she loses after raising over $1 billion, talk about a true snake oil saleswoman.

This is like watching Emmitt Smith when he went to the Cardinals. Obama's heart simply isn't in this for this candidate, and it shows.

“There’s also another factor this cycle: the anti-Trump voters who will vote for him because the economy is so bad.”

We know two couples (good friends) who are putative Republicans but hate Trump for unknown reasons. The women are definitely voting for Harris as one of the men. The other man was in bridge construction and his company was severely attacked by Harris in California and she dragged them through the court system. I’m not sure which way he will vote.

I’m appalled that otherwise smart, accomplished people lack any critical thinking skills when it comes to the governance of the nation.

The two women were gushing about a tee-shirt they saw recently that read “Make America Kind Again.” It’s an absolutely gibberish platitude (sounds just like Harris), but they were both swooning at it. My wife and I inwardly rolled our eyes.

To be fair Harris did articulate one difference from Biden.
She would put a Republican in her cabinet...
probably Liz Cheney as Secretary of War.

This is my impersonation of kaMala Harris (her generic answer to any question from far-left CNN/MSNBC reporter or left-wing late-night talk show host):

Host/reporter: "Vice pResident Harris, [what/how/why] ...?"

kaMala's generic answer: "Look, let me be very clear about this, as I've always been, and let me just say at this point in my response to this critically important question, not only for me but for all the American people, especially given the fact that, without question, I am in fact from the middle class, I was raised in the middle class, and I am for you, the middle class, as noone has ever been before or ever will be, now let me emphasize, in no uncertain terms, that-that-that 'person' I'm running against, and I won't even say his-his-his name, that's how destructive he is to America and all we hold dear, and let me just point out, ya know, that since I am from the middle class, I never had a multi-billion-dollar spoon placed in my mouth, such as the one that-that-that Donald Trump had placed in his mouth when he was born, because I'm from the middle class and you know the middle class, when all the neighbors would make sure their lawn looked nice, and we had a middle-class family friend, who everyone agrees was basically my "Auntie," and she helped raise us given we were only middle-class and struggled just like you're struggling today, and I am from the middle class, and so if you elect me as your next President, I am from the middle class and then there's that too, as well, in addition to everything else I just mentioned previously to what I'm saying this very second ... and-and-and ... What can BE! ... unBurdened by what has BEEN!"

Far-left host/reporter: "Vice pResident Harris, I simply asked you, 'What is the correct way to pronounce your first name?' "

kaMala: "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! .... (cackle, cackle) ...... Ha-ha-ha-ha! ..."

I fear the ignorance of women voters. Lots of bad decisions out there.

Talking with a liberal client about the hatred for Jews. I told her it's pounded in their heads from birth. When they get older they don't know why they hate them.

I told her it's the same as you. You hate Trump and can't tell me why.

We already heard from a (former) Kansas University professor what should be done to men who don’t vote for Commie-La.

I doubt the Bent One could be any more succinct than that.

I do believe the Clinton name carries more weight on that point...

Trump carried white women in 2020. Not by much but still, a majority.

Let's not be sexist now.

There are many hopelessly moronic men throughout our great nation who also eagerly "endorse," support, and will vote for (Bill IV, aka Barack III, aka Potato46 II) Laughing Hyena Airhead Harris for U.S. pResident.

For example, self-described ultra "conservative" Dick Cheney.

If RINO Dick Cheney is "conservative" (as he falsely claims), then I'm Whoopi Goldberg.

I think that their decades of taking voters for granted has caught up with them! Up to the Trump presidency and certainly during his term in office, American minorities have made giant steps toward better employment numbers. They want to keep and consolidate their gains but they cannot do that if they have to fork over masses of new tax revenues to illegals!

Several black men asked who they are voting for. Language warning. I'm seeing a lot of this lately. (Twitter)

She has the Steal, The Media, The Deep State, and the Karens pulling for her. She doesn’t need anything else.

We have the Constitution.

Use it, or lose it.

Kommy-La is a communist.

Communist don't pivot.

They steal elections and imprison or kill the opposition.

The Democrats crossed the Rubicon in 2020.

Don't expect them to retreat now.

Be prepared to flee or fight November 6.
