To me, this came down to a few things. With the top one being overwhelming.
Inflation. Harris did absolutely nothing to dispel that her and the corpse caused it. No doubt that some of their policies expanded it, but so did Trump’s. They just sat back and did nothing, focusing on other issues. Maybe the economists that I had read reports from were Dem party hacks, but all said 90% of inflation was from the pandemic and aftermath of supply not keeping up with a shifting demand. No doubt, they could have done better in helping slow it. Why not explain to the American people why they did certain things and if it added to inflation, what offsetting good did it do? Their silence to me, seems to indicate that it didn’t do much offsetting good.
The corpse thinking he could be wheeled out in public for another run and the Dem base supporting it. Just like the Trump cult, the Dem base are like robots programmed to accept, then fight for whatever they are told. Harris being inserted without a primary, I am sure lost many Independent voters. The whole process put actual enthusiasm for her and Dems very low among casual voters. I assume the overwhelming votes she had were votes against Trump and not for her. Dem party needs to completely adjust. The woke culture and idea that government needs to fix everything is being told, no thanks. Possibly even by popular vote.
Trump is a complete scumbag. Half of his supporters admit it. But some of his policy is actually good for most Americans. If the policy isn’t already to deport violent immigrant criminals, why not??? He has done more against our biggest threat, China, than any others. Not sure how this tariff thing will play out, but I have always appreciated how he has stood up to them. His relationship with Putin is pretty concerning, but guess we will see. I also agree with many on the MSM not treating him fairly. He does a good bit to deserve it, but has been that way from the start. I watched ABC last night, it was pretty glaring that many of them were rooting for Harris. I’ve always said, if there is a Deep State conspiracy, show it. Maybe he will get his chance now. There are a lot of things that are a bit fishy about his first term. He was a target from the start. Then Covid happens. I can see why many Americans feel that he wasn’t given a fair chance.
I’d imagine Nikki Haley wins this race by a margin unheard of.
