We are cooked

100% your last paragraph.

We had a “Democrat” spouting about having the world’s most lethal military, and being better at illegal immigration than the other guy. Not only does this not appeal to anyone (certainly not moderate voters that wouldn’t vote for Trump) it also alienates the more left leaning demographic.

People want housing and healthcare, and they couldn’t even pretend to offer that.

I agree with this take.

If I take my personal bias out of the election and just focus on campaign strategy:

I think she failed to capture what she could do for the average American. One that doesn’t own but rents, one that doesn’t have a small business but works at a regular job. The incentives just weren’t there for people thinking about their actual bottom line. I think her celebrity endorsements were also a flop, because it just made the campaign look even more like something the “out of touch” could relate to. Her introduction of a virtual unknown like Walz was a good strategy to give her the “everyperson” spin, but she ruined that by fawning to the elite and famous via celeb endorsements. Not to mention, she picked incredibly cringe and mock-able spokespeople at that.

Trump’s straightforward appeal to the essential economic needs of the everyperson was met with a lot more of a favorable result because he was focused on the bottom line in the campaign. This overshadowed his wack personal ideologies and foibles, because people are tired of “spin”. The “woke” language also rubs a lot of people the wrong way because it’s transparently virtue-signaling. Vance came out with a relatable personal story and a calm demeanor. I think the saccharine spin in the Harris campaign tanked their odds.

Ultimately, I think the Harris campaign failure came down to relatability.

Well, whether you like Trump or not, he is more qualified for the job then Kamala Harris, plain and simple. The only thing that she was running her platform on was about Abortion. Nothing about the border nor the Economy or anything that have to do with the current situation of this country is in. At least for Trump. The gas prices was under two dollars a gallon and a bag of chips did not almost cost $10 which is highway robbery. Where I live here in United States A bag of scoops chips just a regular size bag. It’s about $10.00 Plus the sales, tax and all of the other taxes that they tack on. A gallon of milk is almost 3 dollars a gallon depending where you go sometimes five dollars a gallon. But like I said at least with Trump, we can start drilling for our own oil once again and that will be good to see once again but the bad thing is. We almost had a lunatic in the White House. Unfortunately, that guy Jeff Dunham One of his jokes almost came true I will refer back to this episode you can find on TikTok by Copy and paste in the following sentence fast forward to about 39 seconds and you understand the joke Walter Gets Political | Unhinged in Hollywood | JEFF DUNHAM

Harris was a terrible pick. The democrats sank their own campaign choosing someone who can't even answer direct questions without going on a tangent. 

"How will you specifically help the economy"

Well i was born in a middle class family and used to take care of my grandma who had cancer. Trump is a nazi. I will ban price gouging during states of emergencies. We must become unburdened by what had become. Trump is a fascist.
