I keep asking: How is this presidential campaign so dadgum close?
Democratic nominee Kamala Harris advises her staff to run this campaign as if she’s the underdog. The polling data I keep seeing suggest that it might not be as close as we are being led to believe.
Republican nominee Donald J. Trump keeps trotting out the same grievances that wore well in 2016, not so well in 2020.
I have concluded that Trump has managed to remake the Republican Party into something only he could admire. The holier-than-thou wing of the GOP gives Trump a pass on his sexual assaults, his philandering, his denigration of people with handicaps, his disrespect of war heroes captured and tortured during the Vietnam War.
GOP faithful are being led to believe him when he calls Biden the worst president in U.S. history. Yet they dismiss his multiple felony convictions, his admitting to cheating on all of his wives. The GOP holy rollers once disqualified candidates who didn’t meet the “character test.” Not now!
Kamala Harris stormed onto the political stage when President Biden performed that rarest of political acts: he gave up the enormous power of his office. Yes, there has been a surge of excitement over Harris’s 11th-hour candidacy. Trump, though, continues to pretend as if he has a chance of winning.
The GOP nominee’s pretense seems to play well among the gullible gang who comprise his base.
How in the world does this guy manage to make this a contest? I cannot find the answer.
You talk about gullible!! LOL! You have been bamboozled to the point if they told you the sky is red, you’d argue it to your grave. I’ve visited with approximately 100 democrats over the last month. Not a one is confident in Harris winning. Not a one could give me an accomplishment of Harris. Around 50% states they’d have to agree that things were better 4 years ago. Yet, like you, they are so brainwashed, they will still vote for Harris.
