Trump destroyed Harris. She proved herself to be useless at campaigning and useless at picking a running mate. Trump proved himself to be a brilliant political candidate.
4 years….

I never comment on politics here but I’m astounded at some of the support and comments from this community alone.

I guess I am naive to how so many think. Let alone that many Americans.

I just can’t fathom supporting a person that was the cause of 5 innocent deaths in the Jan 6 riots.

Sad. I’ll jog on.

All but two died of natural causes,(strokes) one was caught in stampede and one un armed women was murdered at point blank range by police.

But by the type of logic Harris supported a bail fund for violent rioters in 2020 riots (the riots caused months of unrest and 2 billion in damages)

And at least 25 people died in 2020 riots (possibly more of natural deaths not reported) but at least ten of them were murdered.

Kamala Harris polled worse than Killary , that speaks volumes of how much trouble the Democratic Party are in . Long road back and I hope they can focus on what they need to fix within the party rather than what they can do to dump trump .

It’s in shambles and I could highlight a huge list of issues that need to be fixed. For a start, choosing Kamala was a terrible idea. Biden was deeply unpopular and choosing his vice president was just dumb. They should’ve chosen Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania (popular in the hottest swing state). But he didn’t get chosen as he’s Jewish and a supporter of Israel. Far left Palestinian lobby within the party prevailed. That’s was a signal to many that far left caucus of the Democrat party has too much influence. This might be just a perception but at the end of the day, people vote based on perceptions.

Secondly, as they chose her they should’ve picked a different campaign strategy. She started good but then switched the rhetoric to talking about Trump on daily basis. This was disastrous as Trump is immune to negative publicity. For Trump any publicity is a good publicity. The focus should’ve stayed on working, middle class and their standard of living.

Good analyst.

And if you go back further It's insane that Biden became president to start with but then picking Harris as VP was a big fuck up she got no nomination votes, not even popular within her party.

Lets be real as an old white guy he picked her for superficial reasons, young a women & of colour, it might have helped get him elected but this then came back to bite him and the party when he bailed, as it would have looked bad her not getting a shot at president plus the money funding thing.

I thought Trump made a mistake in picking Vance at first but he has proved me wrong, Vance blew Walz away in the debate and has shown he is confident and a good public speaker and someone with a good range of life experience, if something happened to Trump he would be a good replacement and expect popular with a good range of Trump voters, id expect even much more popular with women. (young and good looks sure dont hurt there, plus family man, married to a women of colour)

I know she died from gunshot fired by a cop…

But it was no murder….and the cop is not responsible for her death.

Trump was responsible for encouraging the whole thing..she was a stupid easily manipulated Trump follower. Innocent? Not really but a pawn that was used by Trump and Trump couldn’t care less about her death.

I think the biggest help was sleepy Joe and that ridiculous speech days before the election calling trump supporters garbage and the Camel herself with her scripted bullshit we have heard thousands of times before.

While the loyal Trump community here on sn were quick to jump to the defence of the rednecks of America yesterday, they missed the other key part of what i posted. The bible belt. Apart from the surge in popularity amongst male voters, Harris was up against the god botherers women who opposed abortion. And there were plenty. I saw a post from a person i know this morning stating 'to have women's rights, you have to let the woman be born first'. This religious sentiment amongst women in a strongly religious country showed up in alot of the interviews i saw yesterday and was highlighted by the map of red states that the majority of which are bible belt states and shows that the womens right issue comes second to god for the majority of women.
Also funny that some posters think you need to be bloody Nostradamus to imagine what the next 4 years of a Trump government look like. Seems 2016-20 has just been wiped from the memory banks. Trumps Trump ya know. wink wink.
So what happens if he gets sentenced to jail in a month before he's sworn in as president? Looks like all his troubles just dissappear...like the memory of some.

The Jan 6 mob that are currently locked up will be jumping for joy as Trump has promised more than once to pardon them . They will have to get inline though as several cases against Trump will probably be dropped . Trump can actually pardon himself on federal cases , amazing powers that a president can have . https://www.cbsnews.com/news/can-a-president-pardon-himself/

It was all about the economy, immigration and the stupid woke left.
I think the whole women voting for a female president card was overplayed.
As the wife said, for all the talk of sisterhood and girl codes, when it comes down to it it's a competition, and women just don't trust other women and will stab each other in the back if they get a chance.
Now Trump is coming in just as inflation is coming down and the post covid world is settling down he will no doubt claim credit for all the unseen hard work done by the previous Govt.
As long as my super keeps going up I can to live with Trump bragging on TV every night.
