Kamala's Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Weekend

If the current Democratic Party weren't so evil and hell-bent on destroying America, I would feel a little bad for Kamala Harris after the weekend she had.

The polling keeps getting worse, her gaffes so embarrassing, and Trump is hitting his stride as the Harris/Walz campaign implodes around her. 

The October surprises she had lined up to destroy Trump have yet to impress- does anybody care about yet another series of Russia Russia Russia accusations or Jack Smith revelations? Who is listening, other than the insane people at MSNBC? There is NOTHING Harris can do to change anybody's impression of Trump, so any progress she might make will have to come from her own persuasive power, not hitting Donald Trump. 

Think about that: Kamala Harris needs to persuade people that she could be a good president. 

Good luck with that. 

Meanwhile, Donald Trump had a fun weekend. Kamala Harris wants you to believe he is too old and tired to be president. I might be persuaded if she had a better track record judging such matters. As it is, I saw this and smiled. 

Trump's McDonald's stunt was so charming, so effective, and so eye-catching that I did not see a single clip from a Sunday Morning show on Twitter yesterday. Nobody cared because Trump's charisma kept your eyes locked on him. He made his point about Kamala, and the clips of him interacting with people in the drive-thru were pure gold. They were all supporters, of course, but the interactions were natural and charming.

The MSNBC crowd is trying to go with the "Donald Trump is senile" meme as if anybody will listen to the same crowd who assured us that Joe Biden is sharp as a tack. Donald Trump just smiles as he munches on french fries and chats up people at the drive-thru. 

Who will take the word of a network that broadcast this just days before Joe Biden collapsed live on camera in the June debate?

The smell of flop sweat and panic wafts from the campaign offices in Delaware. As well it should. Kamala made not one but two horrendous gaffes this weekend after skipping the Catholic Al Smith dinner, sending a cringe video instead. When two Christians praise God at her rally, Kamala tells them they belong with Trump.

Christ is King! Jesus is Lord. "You belong at the other rally." Apparently so... Christians, Kamala wants you to vote for Trump. 

Ugh. Bad look. Telling Christians they belong with the other guy is not a good recruiting tactic, especially since it is so on the nose with Democrats. The party that takes God out of its platform is now telling God-fearing people that they aren't even welcome at rallies. Come back when you change your gender and they will talk with you.

But it doesn't stop there. Harris later agreed with a protester that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. There wasn't any ambiguity--she literally said that the protester was right. 

In other words, in one weekend, Kamala tosses both Christians and Jews out of her coalition. A winning strategy for sure. 

Kamala is already losing the Muslim vote and just offended a whole lot of Jews and average Americans who support Israel's war on Hamas. Evil and stupid. 

At this rate she will offend every voting bloc out there. 

And you can see the results in the polls, with an increasing number of them showing Trump ahead not just in the swing states but also in the popular vote. That is remarkable since almost everybody assumed that Harris would win the popular vote while potentially losing in the Electoral College. That is still more likely than not, given that Blue states like New York and California will give her enormous majorities. Trump will bring her majorities down, but Harris has millions of votes banked.

Nate Silver, who still gives Harris a reasonably good chance of winning the election, doesn't sugarcoat how things have been going for Kamala Harris lately:

Last update: 1:45 p.m., Sunday, October 20. The data continues to be pretty negative for Kamala Harris. There are now three recent high-quality national polls that show Donald Trump leading — a difficult circumstance for Harris, given Democrats’ Electoral College disadvantage — and her edge in our national polling average is down to 1.7 points. National polls don’t influence the model that much, and the race remains basically a toss-up, but it’s not hard to think of reasons that Trump could win.

Clearly, Senate Democrats in tough races have an eye on how Kamala Harris is collapsing and aligning themselves with...TrumpHitler. Multiple Senate candidates are now running ads highlighting their willingness to work with Donald Trump. No word about their working with Harris on keeping the border open though. 

Trump may be a dictator-in-waiting who is worse than Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini, according to Anne Applebaum of The Atlantic, but not so bad that they won't cozy up to him. Trump may be itching to put Joe Scarborough in jail, but Senate Democrats have opened their eyes to the fact that half of America might like that.

RealClearPolitics shows that Trump is ahead in all the swing states, although within the margin of error. Whatever the specific number in the poll, the trend is Trump's friend. 

After this weekend, Kamala Harris is probably hitting the bottle. Who could blame her? Weekends don't get much worse than this. And even with her experience with being part of the Weekend at Bernie's administration, this has been a particularly tough couple of days. 

The irony is that, given all this data, you would assume Harris is dead in the water and should be updating her resume--there are likely jobs making fries at McDonald's, or perhaps sinecures at liberal universities who seem happy to employ plagiarists--but Harris is running against Donald Trump, and lots of people hate Donald Trump. 

Harris' floor is higher against him than almost any other candidate you could imagine, given how deranged a lot of people are in their hatred for Trump. That means she still has a shot. 

Before you think--as I suspect--that some other nominee would have won in a walk, remember that if the nominee had been somebody else, then all the variables might not have lined up this way. Just as hatred of Trump is durable, he has also been totally defined, while some other candidates might have faced challenges that Trump does not. No negative attack against Trump has any power because he is the most well-known man in the world.

So, who knows what things would look like with a different candidate? We only run the experiment once. Trump is the guy, and things look very good for him. 

Go vote. Bring a friend or ten. After all, polls don't vote. People do.
