Harris’s campaign was crippled by her ties to unpopular policies, Biden administration failures, authenticity issues, and a contentious nomination process.
The presidential race was not unpredictable, as the now once again discredited polls swore to us.
Instead, the great Trump comeback victory was clear by the last weeks of the campaign.
The Republicans had made massive gains in voter registrations since 2020, when Trump had lost the Electoral College by only a few thousand strategically placed votes.
Republicans began to master the transition to non-Election Day balloting—first engineered by the left in 2020 under the pretext of COVID.
They not only vastly exceeded their early/mail-in voting totals of 2020, but by Election Day, they often outpaced Democrats.
For months, it was widely reported, albeit grudgingly, that there were large defections in Hispanic and African American voters from Harris.
The betting odds over the last three weeks usually favored Trump.
Harris simply could not run on anything she had so emphatically promoted in the past—given these left-wing, unpopular, and failed policies had no majority support.
So, the chameleon Harris renounced her prior 30 years of earlier radical advocacies that, along with her race and gender, had forced Joe Biden in 2020 to select her as vice president.
There was no way Harris could still support banning fracking, defunding police, opposing border security and the wall, or calling for mass amnesties and an end to the border patrol.
Nor could Harris still promote racial reparations, ending private health care insurance, or advocating for higher income and capital gains taxes and a wealth tax.
Much less could Harris still boast of wanting mandatory “buyback” or confiscation of some semi-automatic weapons—including entering private homes to seize them.
So given all that, Harris simply flipped—and serially lied about who she was, renouncing her entire political

An understatement of the year...you are so right on the spot!
It’s not a coincidence that the percentage of Dem votes is very
nearly the same as the percentage of people who pay no income tax.
Plus Harria won in states that have no voter ID.
Great column by VDH. I would only add that Harris is a classic D.E.I. hire as Vice President. She Didn’t Earn It. Biden and the RAT party chose her on the basis of race and sex, not competence or popularity (Harris was neither). Getting crushed in a Presidential election because of a DEI hire couldn’t happen to a better group of Marxists. That’s the price you pay for being “stylish”.
Yes, half the people you see are brain-addled drones, property of the State. More in the cities.
Just turn off all sources of information except CNN or worse, MSNBC. Watch for just two days, getting all your information from a single source.
Then you will understand why these people think this way. Those networks are the modern re-education camps, never reporting facts, but telling their viewers what to think.
Unburdened by the has-been, I’m looking forward to better days in the republic.
Yes, that is the most shocking thing to #me too.
A good summary of what happened.
“... but... ABORTION!”
Finally, workaholic Donald Trump campaigned nonstop for two years, won all the primaries, and was endorsed by his two chief primary rivals.
In contrast, the Harris “nomination” was the product of a coup that, in 48 hours, removed from the ticket an incumbent president, nullified the will of his 14 million primary voters, and coronated Harris, who had neither won nor ever entered a primary.
That late July forced abdication of Biden lent an air of illegitimacy to Harris’s candidacy, as well as truncating the time available to campaign.

One of my daughters voted for Harris because of “common sense gun measures”. Another of my daughters voted for her because of the humanitarian crisis at the border. She couldn’t understand that the crisis is man made.
We must demand the teaching, in school, of the principles and function of civics and government. Students must also be taught a clear understanding of the U.S. Constitution which is not a long document. American public schools are not teaching those basics anymore.
My wife and I were taught these fundamentals in school years ago. I recently asked my high school freshman grandson how he has learned about our American governmental system.
His answer was, “Tucker Carlson.”
“One of the things taken out of the curriculum was civics. Civics was a class that used to be required before you could graduate from high school. You were taught what was in the U.S. Constitution. And after all the student rebellions in the Sixties, civics was banished from the student curriculum and was replaced by something called social studies. Here we live in a country that has a fabulous constitution and all these guarantees, a contract between the citizens and the government – nobody knows what’s in it…And so, if you don’t know what your rights are, how can you stand up for them? And furthermore, if you don’t know what’s in the document, how can you care if someone is shredding it?”

As corrupt corporate media wanes, so will support for these marxists.
MAIL IN VOTING MUST END.
MANY STATES ARE STILL COUNTING VOTES -— DUE TO “CURING’ MAIL IN BALLOTS.
TAKES TOO LONG-—TOO COSTLY.
GO VOTE IN PERSON UNLESS YOU ARE DISABLED & HOUSE BOUND. THAT MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY DOCTOR’S REPORT.
They would have voted for a baked potato - if it had a ‘D’ after its name…
They were voting AGAINST Donald Trump.
This was caused by a decade of media manipulation.
Trump Win = End of an error Biden Harris
Stolen from todays toon’s.
They did vote for a baked potato in 2020, Joe Biden.
