It Looks Like the DNC Is Backfiring on Kamala Harris
PJ Media ^ | 08/21/2024 | Matt Margolis

When Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, it undoubtedly caused a jolt of enthusiasm for her party, which had been looking at a landslide defeat with Joe Biden on top of the ticket. She took the lead in the polls as well as in the political markets.

Harris had as much as a seven-point lead in Polymarket in the days leading up to the Democratic National Convention. Between the wall-to-wall glowing coverage from the media and the convention coverage, Harris would maintain that lead, if not expand on it.

However, the lead she had before the convention is gone. It's not only been wiped up, but as of the morning of the third day of the convention, Donald Trump has also regained the lead. By the second day of the convention, Trump had a one-point lead. As of this writing, he has taken a five-point Polymarket lead over Harris.

Harris had a 7-point lead in @Polymarket last week.

Rich Baris, the director of Big Data Poll, found this to be an extraordinary shift, considering the timing.

Why are Donald Trump's odds of winning the presidential election getting better during the DNC?

That's so weird.— Rich Baris The People's Pundit (@Peoples_Pundit) August 20, 2024

It is an absolutely fair question to ask why this is happening during the week of Kamala's convention. A big part of it is that last week, Kamala unveiled her key economic agenda, and it was nothing short of a disaster, drawing criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.

Her most contentious proposal, a federal ban on "price-gouging," sparked outrage even within her own party. When Kamala tried to explain how she would fund her plans, things went from bad to worse. She delivered one of her trademark word salads, repeatedly insisting that there would be a "return on investment" for her policies — as if the costs would magically cover themselves.

Kamala cannot get elected as a Rorschach test. And when she finally takes a question or two from the media during the campaign, it won't be pretty.

Because people din't like what they are seeing.

No wonder they put their speakers on when everyone on the East side of the country is asleep.

Anything is possible with the Democrat/Communist Party ... anything! I’m standing by until Harris’s official coronation on Thursday ...

I think something is coming out against her in the near future.

Michelle Obama really went out of her way to tell the audience they must be prepared for bad news and bad polls and for what the opposition is going to be saying about her.

Maybe it was just general precautions but I really got the feeling they know there are specific tough times ahead.

Watch, she'll reverse her agenda and the media will trumpet the change as the greatest thing since sliced cheese, and Comrade Kamala will declare she is implementing her new-and-improved agenda on day one.

The trained seals will all clap.

There there’s this:

“I wouldn’t be surprised if they burned up a large portion of their ready-in-the-can fake polls leading up to the convention. If that’s the case, they won’t be able to fake as high a convention bounce as they normally do.”

She’ll dye her hair blonde, get a “Trump do,” and wear a suit and tie.

I’m with Trump.

Kammy might not even be the eventual nominee.

The Dems can dump and replace a candidate in a New York minute.

Biden was their guy until he wasn’t.

Big Mike might say Kammy was her girl until she wasn’t.

ONLY reason they dumped Joey was because of Divine intervention as Crooks’ kill shot barely missed its mark.

The Deep State’s desperate.

Dumping Kammy and Walz won’t stand in its way.

Why was it when Hillary came on stage she got 4-5 minutes ovation? And when Mooch came on she got the same? But when Karmela got up the first night the limp-wrist applause was about 30 seconds?

Would not surprise me to see a second replacement nominee....

Her lead in the polls was always fake.

Now it turns out that, the number of jobs reported have been revised downward, to the tune of more than 800,000 fewer jobs.

Democrats can’t be trusted to report the truth, on the economy, and especially on the number of jobs created.

The number of jobs created had to be revised downward, and now, Kamala’ poll numbers have to be revised downward too.

No doubt, the number of votes that Biden received in 2020 could have been revised downward too, but then, the vote counters were all controlled by democrats.

Look for the big lie whenever democrats report any favorable numbers for their side, on anything.

It looks like the COMMUNISM is backfiring on Harris.

I also heard that she wasn’t present during Zer0’s speech, was that true? (I’m not watching the train wreck, I’ll get my news here).
