Only two talking points matter: Which candidate’s past record and current agenda best appeal to voters? And which candidate seems the most authentic and genuine?
As Vice President Kamala Harris slips in the polls, the Democratic National Committee/Harris Campaign/mainstream media fusion talking points become even more absurd.
Claiming that J.D. Vance and Donald Trump were “weird” did not work—especially given the genuinely odd behavior of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and would-be First Gentleman Doug Emhoff.
Nor was the next Harris meme convincing that the frenetic and non-stop Trump was somehow “exhausted,” “senile,” and “confused.” Voters know the workdays of the younger Harris are usually far shorter—or sometimes not workdays at all.
But Harris also falsely claimed the physically and mentally challenged Biden was, in her words, “absolutely authoritative” and “very bold and vibrant.”
Now Harris asserts that Trump is a “fascist,” a “dictator,” and “unfit” for office. But this new talking point will also not stop the Harris campaign’s hemorrhaging—and for a variety of reasons.
First, voters see the election as a conflict of two absolutely antithetical visions.
On the one hand, is the prior Trump 2017-20 concrete record: border security, no major wars abroad, calm in the Middle East, a deterred Russia, Iran, and China, low inflation, low interest rates, lower crime, lower taxes, strong deterrent military—and opposition to mandatory electric vehicle mandates, biological males competing in women’s sports, and the woke/DEI agenda.
On the other hand, is the Biden-Harris 2021-2024 record: the unchecked entry of 12-20 million illegal aliens and a destroyed border. People still struggle under Biden-Harris’s earlier hyperinflation and high interest rates. The horrific regional wars in Ukraine and the Middle East continue. Biden-Harris embraces the unpopular DEI/Woke agenda.
Harris herself knows that the Biden-Harris years were a failure.

I voted early yesterday in Florida. It seems early voting in many states is favoring Republicans.

desperation, what happened to the joy?
Supposed to be a bombshell report about Kamala today. They’re saying that’s why she’s taking the days off.
There is not enough Liostick to make Marxist Pig attractive.
Shrill panicking about you Opponent who is literally Hitler is not a good look either.
Especially when your own plan is Stalinist.
No free speech. No r2kba. Increase taxes. Forever Ukraine war. Open borders. 10 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS come to take your job. Transgender homos in women sports. Anti-white racism. Divide society by race. Defund police. Political prisoners. Prayer prisoners. Supreme Court packers. On and on.
And “brat summer”? What happened to that? Oh, its late October so I guess summer is over and we are headed for the Fall.

I will argue that statement is not correct. Nothing Kamela says or even does has influence on her voters. The primary consideration is fear. The leftists fear any one other than their chosen candidate spells ruin and disaster.
Facing 12 years of Republican, conservative government strikes dark fear into the propaganda filled progressive minds.
Good summation by VDH.
The big problem with Kamala’s campaign is its a rerun of Obama’s campaign. It’s like watching a same program over and over. It’s boring. The difference is that in 2008 voters bought the fantasy of hope and change. In 2024, Kamala is selling no hope for change.
personally I liked kammy’s attempt to use her “I worked at McDonald’s!” bs as a stepping stone to the hearts and minds of working Americans, which she promptly TRIPPED over(gotta watch out for those stepping stones)but then when President Donald J Trump DOES work there, even for a few minutes, BOOM!, He does what she couldn’t. won more hearts and minds. “those who cannot negotiate even the smallest of stones can only get in the way of those who climb mountains” L.Star
All good, well documented points.
Yet, nearly 50% of America voters still seem convinced that Harris is a better choice.
That’s something difficult to understand.
VDH concisely lists the huge differences between Trump and Kamala.
Well done as usual from VDH.
Instead, only two criteria matter: Which candidate’s past record and current agenda best appeal to voters? And which candidate seems the most authentic and genuine?

I voted yesterday, also. I was going to wait until Election Day, but I got antsy, and Mrs. T and I looked up our early voting polling place and went. Got right in, no wait.
I wish more voter would see this absolute truth. It is a choice between light and total darkness, between bondage and freedom, between Truth and falsehood.
There is no "moderate position" in this choice.
I’ll be voting early as usual. 7:00 am on Election Day. :)
Kamala is repackaged virtually every day.
