Last week-I did a few segments on how the Kamala Harris campaign is losing in Michigan and Pennsylvania- even if they don’t know it yet.
Well- guess what one narrative was-this weekend: kamala might be losing in Michigan and Pennsylvania, and just not know it, yet.
We’re always at least a few days ahead of them Greg, aren’t we?
This weekend Politico, NY Times, and others ran stories about these two ultra-critical states for the democrats- and politico ran their second story in a week on how- insider democrat strategists and party leaders think Kamala Harris is playing it too safe- and frankly- that she and her campaign are playing this ‘kind of lazy’.
There’s no doubt that they have a massive money advantage-and apparently- Kammy’s campaign team is certain that’s enough to make the difference: at some point, you can just ‘buy’ the campaign results you want, if you have enough money-
And that’s what they’ve been banking on-
And it’s the main reason that they think they can run a three-month campaign without any substance, largely hide kamala and Tim Walz away from the public- and still win.
But that calculation is clearly changing after three negative weeks of polling.
For example: this campaign never, ever, ever allowed Tim Walz to do a one-on-one sit-down interview on Fox news Sunday, yesterday, unless they knew they are losing.
Another example: the Harris campaign would not be under heavy pressure to add dozens of campaign events between now and election day-because it’s evident that Trump and Vance are outworking her.
Donald trump is 78 years old- and he’s been ‘everywhere’ over the last two months.
Kamala Harris is 60-and if she does -two-campaign events per day, that’s’ a big day.
Democrat insiders are seeing even more of the internal polling from the blue-wall states here, than the rest of us are, and they know that Kamala Harris is slowly...slowly...sliding behind.
The last set of polling that i saw-last week-had Kamala Harris losing again in six of the seven states. Some polls have her winning by a point or two here in Wisconsin....some have her up by a point or two in Michigan.
But any attempt to suggest that Kamala Harris is still winning in most of the swing states is bunk. What those people are doing is looking at that idiotic ‘RealClearPolitics rolling average’ that goes back to include polls that have been taken over the last month. Well, that’s nonsense, because of how fast fortunes can change in politics- and in presidential races.
If you go back four weeks, Kamala Harris was still enjoying the ‘sugar high’ of ‘not being joe’. The sugar high has worn off, and she’s had three terrible weeks of campaigning and current events intervening since.
She is-not-leading in these swing states, anymore.
But even if you use the RCP averages, this race has been tightening, and Kamala’s been losing ground, for about three weeks.
That was a week ago- and folks- last week
Suuuccckkkkedor Harris and the democrats. The entire team looked foolish and incompetent for refusing to react-or send help- to our hurricane-ravaged southern states. The negative news coverage related to their incompetent and indifferent responses only grew as the week wore on-
And so- if these pollsters were all doing polling last week-and they were- it means that this week’s polls should show yet another slide for Harris and the Dems.
She’s been slowly eroding for weeks-and that was before the hurricane hit, the dock workers struck, and she announced that Americans who have lost everything they have in a storm will be getting 750 bucks from the government-
Because the Biden regime squandered all our FEMA money as part of their effort to flood the country with illegals.
And that was all-before! Before! -in one of the most tone-deaf moves ever-
Kamala Harris went on social media announcing she and joe are sending 157-million dollars in u-s taxpayer money to Lebanon...to be co-opted and used by Hezbollah.
Did you see this?
Just three or four days after saying ‘we are out of money for disaster relief, but maybe we can give people 750 bucks’... Kamala Harris posted on x:
The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there. To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total US assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.
Who? In Kammy’s campaign? Decided that it was the right time to post that commitment on twitter Saturday?
Most of us initially thought it was a hoax: did someone hack Harris’ X’ account and post this? Because even she’s not this dumb, right?
Apparently- she is.
This had derrick hunter saying: they’ve got Kamala Harris playing president, obviously.
This is something that the Biden White House and her campaign team are obviously coordinating: find ways for Kammy to look presidential...
So, they’ve already got her ‘pretending’ to be president....
And she’s horrible at it.
As Derek Hunter points out:
Kamala Harris Is Playing 'Pretend President' Already and She’s Horrible at It
I agree with that completely.
Derek Hunter mentions the teleprompter malfunction: Greg, let’s play this again for a new audience-
Most people weren’t paying attention to the news on Saturday.
Kammy had her teleprompter go out on her at a rally this weekend...and it brought the rally to a startling halt. You’ll hear it. We get silence for a few seconds-because the people behind her-also-saw it go out- and knew ‘uh-oh, she’s screwed’.
Everyone in the country has come to understand that kamala Harris is just a paper Mache’ candidate....and this made it clear to me that even the people who are attending her rallies know she’s a fraud and they’re willing to be part of the ‘show’ that’s being put on to gaslight Americans into voting for her.
But-her prompter goes out-and what follows is- an empty head- caught off guard.
As Derek hunter points out: this is her stump speech. She should A have this down pat, by now.
a smart person and a seasoned campaigner wouldn’t have skipped a beat because he or she would have had that speech memorized and ‘cataloged’ in their mind. But since Kamala’s neither ‘smart’ nor ‘seasoned’. She can’t handle it.
This woman is a complete fraud: a blank slate upon which-other people- write a message each day-and before she parrots it out. And then, at the end of the day, Kamala Harris’s hard drive wipes the slate clean.
You can tell. For four years, we’ve talked about how this woman never seems to know ‘anything’ about ‘anything’. Right?
She isn’t even trying to be competent at this job of Veep- or nominee. It’s why she was always a sputtering, cackling mess as Veep-no matter what the event was. Never prepared. Never retained anything just, naturally, over time.
In fact-that’s the quality that surprises me the most: over time, we all naturally absorb and retain things that we’ve heard before...and recall them at some later time.
How do you know that?
I just saw it somewhere. I watched a documentary on it. Whatever.
It’s noteworthy-to me-that Kamala Harris doesn’t appear to have retained-anything- from her previous 58 years on this planet. Where’s Ukraine? Where’s Israel? Why do the Arabs want Jews dead?
Why is price fixing stupid? What does AI stand for?
Over her 5 years in a higher public profile- she has continually surprised me with ‘what she doesn’t know’.
And as for her decision-making, well, even democrats are uttering a single name: Tim Walz.
What a stupid pick he was. Even DC democrats are talking about it.
So- when it came to Kamala’s ‘first big decision’ as the democrat presidential nominee- she made a bad decision. If she becomes president, how many more will she make? To our detriment?
