In the welter of jubilant or bewildered analysis in the wake of the US Presidential election, one comment stands out from the rest.
Peter Savodnik considers what primarily ‘went wrong’, and concludes that the Democrats lost not because they spent too little or that they failed to recruit sufficient celebrity endorsements. They failed because they lied.
President Joe Biden has provided ample grounds for any reasonable person to question his fitness for command. The failure of Vice President Harris to address this issue and ensure competent leadership in the Oval Office until Jan. 20 represents a continuing danger to the country.
Anderson Cooper offered Kamala Harris a layup. Instead she laid an egg. “Is there something . . . in the last four years that you think is a mistake that you have learned from?” he asked during Wednesday’s CNN town hall. Ms. Harris responded to this standard job-interview question by offering up a sticky gumbo of an answer that had something to do with raising children and nothing to do with honest reflection. It was bad—not only the wrong answer, but the wrong approach.
About half an hour in, Trump’s attention turned to the “crooked” corporate media.
“They’re diminishing themselves, they’re killing all their credibility,” Rogan agreed.

Camila Thorndike, the VP’s climate director, reveals her real agenda.
She won’t explain her energy agenda because she knows it won’t play well in swing states, especially Pennsylvania, where fracking has helped revive coal towns. But Americans can sense that Ms. Harris isn’t being candid and that her gauzy rhetoric is a disguise.
Harris repeatedly condemned her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, in the harshest of terms, even saying that she thinks he is a fascist.
CBS News now stands accused of deliberately distorting its news coverage for nakedly political purposes, to prop up Kamala Harris’ flailing presidential campaign by attempting to hide her inability to answer even simple questions about her policy positions and how she would act if elected president.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign will be remembered for a lot of things: fake accents, Gov. Tim Walz’s dance moves and a claim about working at a McDonald’s that is so confusing people will be scratching their heads for decades.
A few months into Kamala Harris‘ 2024 presidential run, her handlers faced a dilemma. Should they continue cocooning the candidate or unleash her on the public? Both options came with serious political risks.
