Democrats are now taking on water in Wisconsin. It’s no longer an outlier: Wisconsin is in play, and incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who has hidden from national Democrats, knows this well, too. The national polling is irrelevant here, as her team’s internals show Ms. Baldwin ahead by only two points. The Cook Political Report reclassified the race as a “toss-up,” not the best of news, with less than a month before Election Day. Now, Democrats are scrambling, but this news out of Wisconsin also highlights a brutal part of Kamala Harris’ operation: she flat-out cannot connect with working people.
The woman isn’t wise enough, good enough, and frankly, aware to be a top presidential candidate—and voters know it. The pre-scripted answers being forced out in response to damning questions about the failure of the Biden-Harris administration accentuate all the issues crippling America’s working families, and Kamala’s fingerprints are all over it—even Joe is saying the vice president has played significant roles in all initiatives of this weak presidency. That’s something that likely irritates the Harris camp to no end. Still, the inability of fake Kamala to break through with working folks will likely be cited as the reason she lost this election. Baldwin’s internals have Donald Trump leading Kamala by three points in the state (via WSJ) [emphasis mine]:
Democrats have privately grown worried about Kamala Harris’s standing among working-class voters in the crucial “blue-wall” states—particularly in Michigan.
Donald Trump has assiduously courted union members and noncollege-educated white voters with a message focused on high costs, manufacturing and the threat of China to the U.S. economy. Senior Democrats, including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, want a sharper economic appeal from Harris and have conveyed those concerns to her campaign, according to people familiar with the conversations. They also would like the vice president to spend more time campaigning in the state.
Michigan Democrats have urged the campaign to make more overt appeals to auto workers and blue-collar workers by emphasizing the administration’s work to grow the industry and build new plants.

Recent polling shows Harris and Trump essentially tied in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Winning the blue wall, along with Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, remains her strongest path to 270 Electoral College votes, as she is doing slightly worse in polls of competitive Sunbelt states.
An internal poll done by Democrat Tammy Baldwin’s Senate campaign last week showed Harris down by 3 percentage points in Wisconsin, while Baldwin was up by two points, according to a person familiar with the poll. The person said much of the narrowing is due to Republicans’ strength with noncollege-educated men. Public polling has shown Harris with a slight lead in the state.
If Democrat polls say she’s under, it’s a cause for worry, though this will likely get buried as Hurricane Milton slams into Florida. Then again, Kamala did interviews with Howard Stern, lefty late-night hosts, and sat down for a sex podcast—all of this while victims of Hurricane Helene waited for aid. This woman doesn’t care about anyone who isn’t a Democrat. This party, for all the talk of diversity, is dominated by wealthy, whiny, white liberals who dominate the cities and coasts. Harris is underwater with most core Democratic voter groups, bound to be the worst-performing candidate with union voters, and is running woefully behind with black and Jewish voters.
Less than 30 days out, these aren’t the updates you want to hear.
She was bilking her rich San Francisco donors out of their cash as North Carolinians were clinging to their rooftops in desperation.
Now, she’s boozing with washed up late night hosts as the biggest hurricane in years comes ashore.
She doesn’t care about you.

Also, what's this out of Michigan?
SCOOP: Trump campaign insiders say they are confident Trump will take MICHIGAN and its 15 electoral votes based on focus groups w/ Muslims who say they'd "never vote for a woman," and on Cornel West & Jill Stein bleeding off votes from Kamala. Stein got 51,463 Mich votes in 2016— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) October 9, 2024
She only connects with suburban Karens, baby-killers, and government union rank and file.
Wouldn't it be something if Trump wins Michigan because of the moslems? That would be SO SWEET! Karma, baby!
Are suburban Karens the same as childless cat ladies?
Until late morning 11/6/2024. Pretty sure they’re leading off 3rd base already for the steal to home.
“Are suburban Karens the same as childless cat ladies?”
Hmmm...not sure. Let’s ask Kammie to draw the Venn Diagram for us.
No
They have fashionably "transgender" children. And current (or ex) Beta husbands.
no, don’t count on it. the “stupid” is strong in that state.
Say what you will about Biden on the debate stage. He can still work a crowd in a rally setting. They should have kept him. Despite his gaffes he comes off as a relatable old coot.
Trump is, according to polls only down 2 in Virginia and close in New Mexico as well
Not exactly, but they’re definitely highly adjacent and not mutually exclusive.
A subset of them.
Trump’s strategy has been to connect with middle class and working class people, and convince them that he has a better plan for their financial and personal security.
I hadn't thought of that ... I figured they would based on her pro Palestine stance which seems more important to them.
“He can still work a crowd in a rally setting”
He did not work many crowds four years ago because he would not gather a crowd.
LMAO. Radical Islam and radical feminism were bound to clash eventually.
No, he can't. You won't find a more insufferable loser than some wretched old @sshole who has spent 50 years in Washington. As one wag noted back in 2008 ... "Leadership? Get real. I wouldn't follow that guy out of a burning house."
RE: I hadn’t thought of that ... I figured they would based on her pro Palestine stance which seems more important to them.
Never vote for a woman huh?
Then how do you account for Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib?
New Mexico is a welfare state.
