Harris, 60, replaced President Biden, 81, atop the Democratic ticket in late July and quickly surged in polling while raking in about $1 billion over a six-week period — massively out-raising Trump, 78, and providing the resources to drive home her early advantage over the Republican nominee.
Her failure to seal the deal outraged Democrats, including those who worked in the Biden-Harris administration and on her campaign.
“I’ve worked on five presidential campaigns. I knew this would be hard. Others acted like they knew they were going to win,” said one person who chipped in during the final stretch of the race.
“They were arrogant.”
Among those getting the blame Wednesday were Harris herself and campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillon — with one musing: “Where did $1 billion go?”
Insiders also heaped blame on Obama campaign alums David Plouffe and Stephanie Cutter, saying they misjudged what issues really mattered to voters.
The duo “tried an Obama play with a non-Obama candidate,” said one source close to the Harris campaign. “They are the worst.”
Ultimately, Harris flopped because “people didn’t connect with her,” this person said.

A fourth Democratic insider was unsparing in their criticism of Harris.
“She was a s–t candidate and Trump made her look worse than Hillary Clinton,” said this source.
“Biden didn’t deserve that treatment and he got pushed out for an empty pantsuit. At least Biden beat Trump and Hillary Clinton had more balls than either of them.”
Others on the receiving end of the finger-pointing include White House staff seen as contributing to rot in Democratic politics and messaging — including first lady Jill Biden’s Rasputin-like adviser Anthony Bernal, who allegedly bullied staff and eclipsed White House chief of staff Jeff Zients in power; as well as press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

She lost because the ‘Rats didn’t generate 20 million fake ballots like in 2020.
For Dems, it’s never the message - it’s always the messenger.
There are days like these when I wish i was a Dem consultant. Those guys got paid $1B, and they achieved less than they did with a senile old fool.
Sweet job if you can get it. Ha Ha.
Wow. The nasty leaks and blame game are starting earlier than I expected.
I wonder who they will anoint in 2028
They certainly don’t seem to want to listen to their actual primary voters.
Hitching your policy wagon to the squad wasn't exactly smart.
She was a s–t candidate and Trump made her look worse than Hillary Clinton
Forcing Biden out and giving her the nomination even though she never won a primary was a genius move. /Sarcasm
The “six phases of a project”
1 Enthusiasm
2 Disillusionment
3 Panic
4 Search for the guilty
5 Punishment of the innocent
6 Praise and honors for the non-participants
still in phase 4.
who will be the innocent who get punished
not seeing too many innocents
Who are the non-participants that will get the praise and honors?
It’s like 20 million democrats just vaporized like they never existed? My gosh! A real effort needs to be made to find these poor missing folks! Has anyone filed a few million missing persons reports yet? They were last seen (on record) around this time in 2020.
with one musing: “Where did $1 billion go?”
They don’t even ask that when it is our money.

In 2028 they should run a lengthy and expensive and exhausting primary season—and then let the DNC choose one of the candidates who won zero primaries.
Equity!
They thought they could BS their way into the White House. And why not — it worked for Clinton.
Well whose fault is it that she was the candidate?
“I think broadly the staff of Democratic campaigns are not representative of the country,” said the source who worked on the Harris campaign late in the race.
I was asking that same question last week................
They spent a billion. That really isn’t that much for an election of this magnitude. But they never used it to explain their policies because they were just slogans.
Think of how few weapons a billion would buy for Ukraine.
The Dodgers could spend a billion for two good ballplayers.
They’re Communists. Most American Democrat voters are NOT Communists, but they vote for such. If these people keep breaking left, they will lose even the liberal Democrat voters.
Even rotten democrats didn’t like her enough to cheat for her.
