The 2024 race is still close.
But then so was the 1980 Carter-Reagan race at this same juncture.
Indeed, incumbent president Carter was then comfortably up in the last two October Gallup polls—before utterly and suddenly evaporating on Election Day.
But in the last seven days, there seems a sense of panic in the Harris campaign.
How do we know that?
Why are Democratic pundits—from Axelrod to Carville—blasting the Harris campaign and otherwise warning of bad things to come?
Why are some of the once Democrat sure-thing senate races—e.g., in Ohio, Wisconsin, and even Michigan—tightening up?
Pundit poll-watchers are suggesting that Trump is close, even, or slightly ahead in the swing-state polls, suggesting that he is nearing a margin that could cancel out anticipated “ballot irregularities”.
The expected October Harris-Biden surprises—the opportune Fed interest rate cut, the transparently desperate Jack Smith beefed-up re-indictment, the current new Hollywood Trump-hit movie, the desperate Zelensky fly-in to Pennsylvania, the election-cycle customary Bob Woodward unsourced gossip book—seemed so far to have had no effect.
Why would any campaign send out the bumbling Tim Walz to a Fox Sunday interview after his disastrous debate?
Why is a suddenly smiling Biden so eager to claim candidate and VP Harris as a co-conspirator to his disastrous four years?
Why would Harris pivot and now agree to (admittedly mostly softball) interviews, thus confirming to the voting public why she wisely had previously avoided all press conferences, interviews, and town halls?
Why—after the last two moderator-rigged ABC and CBS debates—would Harris desperately want another and possibly believe that Trump would ever agree to any such warped forum?
The last 4-5 Harris scripted interviews, but especially on CBS’s 60 Minutes, have been train wrecks.
Everyone expected (and was not disappointed) the on-spec word salads, predictable sappy retreats to her misleading bio, the now accustomed deer-in-the-headlights confusion about her prior three years with Biden, and the general mush in lieu of any policy prescriptions.
Why would CBS think it worth ruining its already debased reputation by doctoring the transcript of the Harris disastrous interview in a vain attempt at Orwellian repair?
Why is a rusty but still narcissistic Barack Obama at last hitting the campaign trail?
And is he still effective—or reduced to becoming an Oprah-like caricature?
After all, is it wise for the elite Obama (in his now accustomed snarky “clingers” style) to venture out of his mansions (Kalorama? the Hawaii beachfront? or the Martha Vineyard estate?) to talk down to black males struggling under years of a hyperinflationary economy, a flood of illegal immigrants from an open border, and a four-year-spiking crime rate?
Does the Netflix grandee berating black men as victims of false consciousness, misled, and brainwashed into voting for the Trump agenda really win them over to Harris?
Does the hundred-million-dollar-plus man Obama persuade anyone by reverting for a few moments to his old community-organizing, fake black patois and his pseudo-racial intimacy of “brothers”?
And does it work for Obama (remember “when they go low, we go high”) to blast Trump as racist and crude, when Obama jokes that Trump wears diapers— this after previously suggesting at the Democratic convention that Trump suffered from small genitalia?
If this should continue, soon the July 21st coup that removed Biden, along with the Harris pick of Tim Walz, will go down as days of Democrat infamy.
Anything can happen in the next three weeks. But so far, the cures for the Harris slide are far worse than the malady itself.
We all know the M.S. Media bottom feeders are all Democrat Voters and Supporters
Yes, the fake news media comprise the Propaganda Ministry of the Dirtbagocrat party.
i call it the yellow stream media that pisses out lies, deceit, and propaganda on a daily basis…aka yellow journalism.
Barry certainly looks mucho beta in that pic doesn’t he.
Yes, Bareback Hasbeen Obama looks more effete than ever, doesn’t he? He also looks wan and mortally ill. He’s always been scrawny but he’s skinnier and older looking than ever. He looks like he’s aged considerably more than the three and three quarters years that Alzheimer Joe and Heels Up Harris have been fake President and Border Czar. He looked much different in 2020.
There are drugs available to treat AIDS so I wonder if he has cancer or if he’s just old and used up. “Dissipated” if I want to hold my pinky up and be pretentious, but I’ll leave pretension to that fake blue-blood, Obama.
getting drilled in the butt by moochbacca has obviously taken its toll on brokeback barry.
I can picture Big Mike bellowing like the wookie he is as he rips up that Barack butt.
I don’t believe the race is close at all. I think the polls are totally corrupted and are about shaping public opinion rather than reporting it, and are calling it close to make the steal more credible. If it were actually close and half the country was for Harris I would have serious doubts about our species.
100% Nailed It!
They got away with it in 2020 so why on earth anyone thinks that 2024 will be any different!?
They’ll cheat again, Harris will be ‘installed’, Obama gets his 4th Term and the US will be finished! 😯
(Praying I’m wrong, and for a Trump Victory, but these people are pure evil and will stop at NOTHING to hold onto power! 😢)
You’re absolutely right about polls, especially the current ones, and political polls are the most corrupt and manipulated of all.
Nobody is going to vote for Heels Up Harris. Fanatics, morons and scumbags will vote for the “D” next to her name but not her.
An October surprise should be the heavy plagiarism in the cackling bitch’s book. (As demented as Sleepy is, he still seems to have rubbed off on Kamala.)
For panic to be manifesting like this, means the voter-fraud margins aren’t sufficient enough to steal another election.
The press will continue to campaign for the cackling idiot, but the problem is Kamala’s mouth is a dumpster-fire.
Just like Hillary’s works of fiction, Kamala’s 2009 book never sold much. Now Kamala is wishing she’d have also hired a ghost writer.
Reportedly, she and her handlers are so stupid that she may go on the Joe Rogan podcast. If she does that, their panic level will rise to Defcon 400.
IF HARRIS AND HER PARASITE LAWYER HUSBAND are not annointed Presidents, then who will serve as the next OBAMA – SOROS meat puppet???
Perhaps racist Michelle and drug popper Jill could form a regency until Hunter is out of prison and can carry on the party’s trail of corruption.
After all, where would joe be without Jill dragging him around and propping him up??? Perhaps she’d be out telling the world how great Hunter is?!!?
Want to hear what Hunter says about his stepmum??? YIKES!
“How did you go broke”
“Gradually, then suddenly.”
This Hemingway quote describes this Democrat ‘suddenly’ moment perfectly. Everything they do is one more nail in the coffin.
That’s a good one.
…and the votes will continue to be counted until Harris gets that magic number and gets ‘selected’.
They will delay the vote count in the big Democrat cities until they see how many votes they need to win.
Yes, that’s their wont. And they always make sure they have just enough to steal the election rather than an overwhelming amount. They think that makes their cheat look legitimate.
In the past three weeks I’ve gotten over a dozen text messages, 90% that are from the Dems. As a registered Independent, I’m seen as their last hope of gathering a few converts. And all of them explicitly asking for money. I consider that the modern version of “radio chatter” from WW2. And that chatter is telling me the Dems are worried.
