As Harris' campaign progressed she "got high on her own supply"; she started to believe the B.S. her campaign and Media propagandists were peddling.
She spent $1.6B dollars AND LOST on a scale no one has seen since Dukakis (1988)--long b4 most of her campaign staff was born. Her campaign returned a President to office for a second non-consective term--not seen since 1889. And finally, her campaign delivered both the electoral college and the popular vote for the GOP candidate. That last happened in 2004; when 9.11 propelled GWBush back into office.
So her tone was concilatory, but she had to give voice to "The Resistance " to keep from dissolving into a puddle.
If you took note of the crowd at Howard U, I wld estimate the average age was 22yo--in a crowd that included Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn😄
Most in the crowd haven't lived long enuf to accurately assess the world around them. They dispersed in 10mins after she concluded.
One simple example of the out-of-touchness* of the media is something I hear almost every day. When speaking of traffic, the workday, etc., the term almost always used is "the office."
They presume that the majority of Americans work in offices. Maybe its as much as 10%. And they simply cannot understand that.
They spent four years pursuing their political opponent through every means possible to prevent him from possibly being able to mount a campaign and, astoundingly, do what he did which is get re-elected.
I refuse to permit them back into the fold just because they lost. However, if they would like to admit their faults, apologize, and ask for forgiveness, I will relent and permit them back into the fold of polite society. Unless and until then, they can pound sand. They do not deserve to be let back in simply because they lost. I have zero spoons to give for what is going to come. They set the precedence. Now, they can reap what they have sown and I will watch as they are treated as they demonstrated to others how they believe it is okay to treat their political adversaries.
You cannot hold the position that Trump is Hitler, a tyrant, a dictator that won't leave office, we very probably won't get to vote again, a threat to democracy and America herself, a racist, a bigot, etc., etc., etc., and not also be ok with or even wishing for someone to assassinate him.
If you believe the former you desire the latter.
If you believe the former and say you don't desire the latter you are a lier.
All I can say is…WOW! Listened to your broadcast on my way home and you said everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that needed to be said. I know you expect to be lambasted for it, but consider yourself the spokesperson for some of us former Haley fans who helped take Trump over the finish line. His economic policies matter more than joy. Let’s roll.
I would say the Democratic Party needs to take a hard look in the mirror and have an honest conversation with themselves on how they miserably failed, but most of them are so narcissistic and have such intense TDS that they'll just stand there, cry, play the victim role, and scream how racist the country is.
Erick, I'm a relative newcomer to your show but I wanted to thank you so much for your insightful commentary. You've given me a depth of understanding to this election cycle I would not have gotten any other way. I really appreciate you, and keep telling others.
"Neurotic white progressive women and gay men" NWPWGM. The unattractiveness of that acronym matches my feelings about the cohort of political people it represents.
I actually didn't see a single thing to disagree with in your commentary. For the first time in my life, I turned to "The View" for about 4 minutes today. Where I see the ladies there still have no idea that they are a big part of the problem.
I loathe the Bidens not for policy differences but because I believe that Hunter was the conduit through which Joe received millions of dollars from foreign players, including our greatest threats, the communist party of China.
That said, despite the fact that there will be no recognition or appreciation for the action, I completely agree that an arrangement to pardon Hunter AND his father would be an appropriate first step to governing like a grown up and dispelling all of the retribution lies.
POST SCRIPT: Prosecuting Hillary Clinton for her part in the Russian dossier and for her destruction of subpoenaed evidence, as well as possessing classified information on a private, unsecured server, is not retribution, it is justice. The same is true of cleaning the deep state players out of the Justice Department, the FBI and the CIA, and revoking ALL security clearances that these treasonous traitors might still have. And let's not forget to fire Jack Smith immediately, who has no constitutional authority to be in his current role.
One more thing. Whether you believe that Trump will be a fascist or not, the DECADES of Dems calling everyone right of center a "fascist" has become a "boy who cried wolf" tale.

DJT, master of The Deal, should offer the Hunter pardon/clemency in exchange for dropping all of the Biden -Harris lawfare cases.

My biggest concern now is how soon before "someone" tries to accomplish what failed in Butler, PA.
I am seeing calls for "unity" now that we've won.
No.

I wonder if Biden is going to try and slap Trump on the ass when they meet up.
Naa, just smell his hair.

It's a stretch to call them "ladies."
Yes. I was being particularly magnanimous today.

What’s the Alan lichtman comment? Missed that reference

That dog won't hunt anymore, right or wrong.
