There are three weeks until the presidential election, but the postmortem analyses have already begun. One of the most prominent diagnoses came from former President Barack Obama last Thursday.
At a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, with its mix of blue-collar labor jobs and white-collar tech and medical careers, Obama addressed one of the biggest warning signs for Democrats: an enthusiasm gap, especially among Black men.
Donald Trump, who has been running for the same office nearly nonstop since 2015, still has a base of energized voters so loyal they’d swim Pittsburgh’s frigid three rivers in January to get to the polls if needed. But Harris, who has been a presidential candidate for less than three months, already has an enthusiasm problem? Obama is right to worry — especially in Pennsylvania.

(1) ... One of the reasons Trump won eight years ago is because Clinton couldn’t hold onto the Obama coalition of Black, Latino and young voters. She still won them overall, but Trump won a larger share than Obama’s Republican challengers in 2008 and 2012...
(2) ... Trump has his biggest polling lead in eight years ...
(3) ... Voters have a more favorable view of Trump than they did in 2016 and 2020 ...
(4) ... Democrats are flailing in Senate races ...
Democratic incumbents in Montana, Ohio and Wisconsin are struggling, and West Virginia independent Sen. Joe Manchin, who caucuses with Democrats, is on track to lose his seat...
(5) ... Harris is struggling to define herself ...

Democrats will cheat. Democrats will claim victory. Kamala will order Republicans to be hunted down like dogs and either rounded up or killed outright.
I’m in my 70s. Would I offer myself up as cannon fodder? Honestly, I dunno.
When no one has your back, it’s hard to put up much resistance.
What a NEGATIVE and DPRESSING lot on this board so far lol
I don’t know if some people maybe deep down feed on bad outcomes.
Nothing else makes sense...if one is CONSTANTLY stating the worst outcome...and there is no reason to believe it will be (we won 8 years ago...not 100 years ago) then you have to start wondering what those people really want.
Misery does love company. Even if it’s suconscious.
ciao and go Trump!!!
"The race to hold the US Senate is way too close… so close that the national Democratic Party is asking volunteers to knock doors in-state rather than going to Pennsylvania. We've learned time and again that democracy isn't going to save itself.
Reader, it’s time for YOU to step up and do something..."
Meh, why not?!! What else ya gonna do?!
Harris came to the Fox interview loaded for bear but
she fell headlong into a stunning trap Baier had set.
I must say, Fox’s Brett Baier handled it superbly.
Harris began to accuse Trump of “mental instability,” as Baier honed in,
asking her to account for flim-flamming the public WRT Biden’s mental capacity.
Asked when she first knew Biden was cognitively impaired, Harris was stopped cold for a second.
Hell, Biden’s cognitive incapacity is the ONLY reason she got to run for president.
<><>Democrats staged an unprecedented removal of an elected nominee of a major party,
<><>and then hand-picked Harris as his replacement.
If Biden didn’t have a cognitive issue, why did she go along with his removal?

”Donald Trump, who has been running for the same office nearly nonstop since 2015, still has a base of energized voters so loyal they’d swim Pittsburgh’s frigid three rivers in January to get to the polls if needed”
Democrat voters will vote Democrat - no matter what.
The day cadaver Joe “dropped out” of the race and they named Kamala as the ONE, my leftist, CNN worshipping boss muttered - “we’re f***ed!..”.
Yet that was then and this is now. He is now ALL about Kamala as the savior; why, she’s SMART!.. She’s EXPERIENCED!… she’s what America needs NOW!…
I can’t imagine what must be lacking inside of a person to allow them to do that 180 in such a short period of time. Deep down, he’s always known that she’s an idiot. Yet, a steady diet of CNN every day allows him to now see that idiot as his hero…. It’s beyond unreal and it’s nearly HALF of the American population…
“then you have to start wondering what those people really want.”
DU trolls, butthurt DeSantis supporters, and maybe some (still) butthurt Cruz supporters.
Interesting observation
