“We have not identified a single event to explain the drop in end-of-day forecasts for the Democratic ticket between October 6 and 7.”
—-Data scientist Dr Thomas Miller of Northwestern University on his website called The Virtual Tout that posts daily electoral vote forecasts mapped on a timeline of major events that could sway voters
Huh! What a mystery! Why would anyone decide that voting for Kamala Harris is irresponsible and bonkers now? After all, she…she…
There isn’t a single event that would cause support for Harris to drop, there are dozens of them, and the effect is cumulative. Someone needs to introduce the learned professor to the words and wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, and a timeline of the events that got us to this point.
The news media has done its best to keep throwing dust in the public’s metaphorical eyes so that they can’t see what Harris obviously is—that would be a phony, hollow, incompetent radical leftist determined to gain power by any means necessary—but she’s given them nothing to work with and too much to try to cover up.
She’s been undermined by a thousand cuts of her own making, like her declaration to the fawning panel on The View that she wouldn’t change anything the Biden-Harris administration has done. Like her increasingly evident choice of an extreme Left dolt as Vice-President: funny how people lose trust in an understudy POTUS who tells the world that he’s a knucklehead, as well as in the judgment of the aspiring President who selected him.
The entire Harris campaign strategy has been predicated on the assumption that the American public is naive, apathetic, willing to believe anything, and swallows the Big Lie that a man who served as President for four years and was more respectful of the Constitution and personal liberties by far than Harris’s party in the following four years will suddenly turn into Nero in his second term. But they can see Harris faking being Presidential as she flies over the storm devastation; they can hear the feckless FEMA huminahumina-ing over its misused funds; it can see and hear Harris whirl like a DEI dervish around guns, fracking, immigration, Israel and more.
Here is the “single event” that explains Trump’s surge: the Democrats nominated an incompetent, charisma-challenged, dishonest, none-too-bright replacement for Joe Biden without due process, democratic vetting or any accomplishments on her part to justify her heading the ticket. They counted on the corrupt news media to cover for her copious and obvious flaws, but as the song goes, “the age of miracles is past.” The public, which understandably would like a rational alternative to Donald Trump, has been “wishin’ and hopin” for months that Harris is such an alternative (I’m thinking in song lyrics today for some reason) but she isn’t. I think it was the Walz meltdown that was the catalyst, but it could have been any of a dozen moments, or all of them together.
One more comment: Good.

The anniversary of the attack on Israel would probably be a good candidate a single event to explain why Ms. Harris’s support dropped that day….
“she’s given them nothing to work with and too much to try to cover up.”
Priceless!

The janitor looks a lot like Dick Cheney, or maybe Ron Klain.
A minor observation: I can’t imagine she chose The Knucklehead to be her running mate. I doubt she’s made a single decision in her life, never mind since she’s become Vice President, and certainly not since she’s been thrust into being the Democratic nominee. Everything is run by some cabal. It’s why she grinds to a halt when the teleprompter burps. She’s terrified because she doesn’t know what she’s supposed to say if it’s not right in front of her or she’s memorized it. She’s a ventriloquist’s dummy. The Dems knew that and have known that all along but that’s of no consequence to them. They’re fine with a blithering figurehead “President.” The Anthony Blinkens and Alejandro Mayorkases and Janet Yellens of the world will be in charge, and all will be well. They’re the smart people.
It seems to be a defining characteristic of today’s Democratic party that they really think they can make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, it’s just a matter of changing the definitions of “silk”, “purse”, “sow”, and “ear”. Kamala Harris was never popular. She wasn’t particularly loved as AG of California, she wasn’t popular as a candidate in the 2020 primary, she wasn’t popular as a vice-president. But the Democrats and their pet media thought if they gaslit everybody for a couple months about how excited, exhilarated, and energized everybody was about her candidacy, that would somehow make it true. Now they’re trying to figure out why reality keeps stubbornly refusing to give way to propaganda.
All they have is identity politics, and they aren’t working well. A significant number of black Americans have realized that whenever there is a candidate that might make their lives better, they are given a useless black puppet to vote for and they are supposed to drop everything and vote for skin color.
One of the typical appeals I have seen lately from feminists is:
‘This should look familiar to any professional woman. A highly qualified, accomplished woman is passed over for a job to hire a completely unqualified man.’
This is all the Democrats have left, pandering and lies. I was thinking, ‘How is Kamala Harris highly qualified?’ and ‘How is a former president completely unqualified?’ Is this the kind of argument that is seen as persuasive to Democrats?
