Now they are predicting Trump to win the popular vote. I am not sure I buy that but the is what the polls are saying.

It is not certain Trump is going to win but it is looking good for him.

The Democrats could have easily won this election but for some reason they decided to run Harris. A wildly unpopular candidate who wasn't selected by the proper process.

In the past few months she has done little to sway the average persons opinion. She has focused on talking about Trump instead of her policies. That was a major mistake. She should have focused on her policies and her plans. Instead she focused on Trump who is disliked but has been in the spotlight for years. People know everything they need to make a decision about Trump but little about Harris.

If she loses, this is going to be talked about for a long time as how NOT to run a campaign. She did everything to put Trump into power if she loses but running such an odd ball campaign.

You can watch her missteps and how they impacted her. The first debate against Trump, she didn't gain the pulls. Why? She focused on Trump instead of letting the voters know who she is and her policies.

The Walz-Vance debate. Walz was severally overmatched by Vance. They should have skipped that debate. It showed people what Kamala and walz were missing. Vance talked policies, he did it in an articulate way. He owned that debate but also showed Walz respect which helped people relate to Vance.

The media has tried to paint Kamala as something she isn't and that people have noticed. She isn't dumb at all. Kamala is a smart woman but she listened to really bad advice.

She talks plenty about policy. But news orgs amplify the adversarial quotes because they get clicks.

It's hard for anyone to believe what she says on policy because it's so radically different from what she ran on during the last campaign.

And she changes it. While I don’t like her policies. Many people would vote for her if she explained them and stuck to them. Trump is fairly unpopular.

Yet, look how close this race is.

It showed people what Kamala and Harris were missing.

You realize that's the same person. Right?

Yeah the Harris campaign is probably going to be studied by scholars for years to come as an example of what not to do.
