Deservedly Losers
The polls—with the exception once again of AltasIntel, Trafalgar, and Rasmussen—were off, and way off in the Senate races.
The pollsters’ reputation is again in full reverse and now back to their nadir of 2020 and 2016. Many shamelessly warped their data in the last two weeks to gin up Harris momentum, fund-raising, and voter turnout.
And to no avail.
There were plenty of indications long ago in key states of a Trump thunderstorm: defections of minorities, anger among both the Jewish and Muslim voters, alienated union members, massive increases in Republican registrations and non-Election-Day balloting. And all were deliberately ignored by the corrupt media and pollsters.
Democrats know—but will do nothing about the fact—they have become the party of the upscale professionals and rich, and the subsidized poor. They have alienated the entire middle class—white, black, Hispanic—and ceding it to the new Republican populist-nationalist party.
Open borders, hyperinflation, abortion deification, the transgendered mania, the crime wave, and the green obsessions all did their bit to repel voters. The “racist” Trump won more minority support than any Dole, McCain, or Romney figure of the past.
What now will the buffoonish Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and Jack Smith do with their pseudo-indictments and convictions?
Try to nullify an American election by putting the president-elect in jail, as the projectionist and now paranoid Left screams that a soon to be President Trump might lawfare them in the manner they did him?
Democrat incumbent senators by late September knew their internal polls were bleeding. So, they decided to junk their lifelong voting records, ideology, and transient fealty to Harris, and chameleon-like to absorb the Trump agendas. That proved too fake and opportunistic for most voters.
Remember, we will soon be soon back to 2017-era leftwing hysteria.
The Left, as it licks its numerous wounds, will reemerge soon to get back the House and impeach Trump, riot on Inauguration Day, gin up more lawfare with hackish local and state prosecutors, insert more deep-state “Anonymous” obstructors into the swamp, draft more has-been generals to trash their commander-in-chief, and reach for the absurdities like the Logan Act, 25th Amendment or more collusion myths.
After all, the party that said democracy was on the ballot is now the most anti-democratic force in modern history. Will a Josh Shapiro try to do a Bill Clinton on the Democratic Party as the latter did after the McGovern/Carter disasters?
Winners?
Donald Trump, of course.
After a decade of Russian collusion farces, laptop disinformation ruses, two impeachments, attempted ballot removal, five civil and criminal suits, two assassination attempts, and a swat team raid on his home, the indestructible 78-year-old Trump has just pulled off the greatest political comeback in presidential history.
Trump was out-funded by Harris. The media gave him 95 percent negative coverage.
The glitterati trashed him nonstop and even stooped to sabotage Saturday Night Live, in vain, to stop him.
The ridiculous Obamas jetted out of their mansions to lie about Trump nonstop and talk down to their own voters.
All they proved was that the phantom, supposedly miracle Michelle Obama candidacy would have been even worse than Harris. An arrogant Oprah and the View really believed people believed their gossipy paranoia about Trump.
In the end, Trump proved more energetic and industrious than Harris, smarter than seasoned politicos, and utterly authentic, preferring to be genuine and occasionally crude than the inauthentic and sappy Harris. He may likely be the first Republican to win 51 percent of the vote since 1988, and the first to win the popular vote in twenty years.
As a general rule, those in the conservative and Republican movements who stood by Trump have won with him. Those who damned him ended up inert or wandering aimlessly in the political wilderness. What happens to the Liz Cheneys and Larry Hogans of the world?
There are no now more “Never Trump” conservatives. That is a misnomer for those who were after a decade mostly either leftwing or subsidized by the Left as useful idiots—or irrelevant.
Contrast all that with the even more ascendent and buoyant mavericks like Elon Musk, RFK, Jr., Joe Rogan, and Tulsi Gabbard.
I watched the tears, denial, and fury of the MSNBC and CNN crowd as they struggled first to fantasize nonexistent pathways to victory, then to revisit “Russian collusion” and “lawfare”, then to claim the proverbial naïve and stupid electorate was deluded into voting against its “real” interests (as defined by MSNBC grandees), and finally to announce that the world—currently on the nuclear precipice of Biden-induced, escalating, theater-wide wars—will be “aghast” at the will of the American people.
In other words, the political-media Leftist fusion sermonized about everything other than why they were rejected by the American people.
What a pathetic bunch our media have become.
And lastly Biden?
The Left —who dreamed up the 2020 idea of using the fake “ol’ Joe Biden from Scranton” as “moderate” cover for the hard-left agenda—does not know whether to blame Joe for not getting out earlier, or to claim their July coup was now a mistake and they would have been better off with a candidate cognitively challenged by dementia rather than one by innate inability.
So, Democrats will blame everyone and everything—except themselves who sought to drive down the American people’s throat the most radical and absurd agenda of the last two centuries that ruined the economy, exploded our border, made moonscapes of our big cities, destroyed women’s sports, set the world abroad afire, weaponized the courts and the bureaucracies, and sought to tear the country in two.
RIP to all that.
Spurwing Plover says
Trump being reelected proves that most Americans no longer trusts the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders and Gutter Dwellers so if there is any Hollywood Liberals who want to leave Go Pack Right Now
Steve says
I love driving through my neighborhood full of leftist Karens and their neutered cats, husbands and boyfriends with all their Kamala lawn signs. The whole country just flipped them the bird.
cat says
Please, please mercy on the cats (illegal aliens dinner) and the squirrels and raccoons.
K.F. Smith says
A Scottish Fold wandered into our yard yesterday. Not feral. If he or she is not claimed, my wife and I will keep it, and we’re naming it President Trump.
In True Grit, John Wayne had a cat named General Sterling Price.
Jeff Bargholz says
They’ve been playing “True Grit” a lot lately on the Western channels.
internalexile says
Yes, neutered cats are really wonderful creatures. One of life’s greatest gifts, along with other pets.
Dr. Larry says
I assume you also meant to include their husbands and boyfriends with the “neutered” adjective.
Madame DeFarge says
“has been generals” Correction. Never was a general only a file clerk with political instincts.
jcr says
This dates me.
The last dem Senator I voted for was WI Bill Proxmire.
Regular readers will recognize what is,next:
NEVER, EVER vote for a Dem, progressive, liberal or RINO. Or ANY Career pol.
Mitch. Durbin. Schumer. Nancy. Grassley. Warren. Baldwin. RINO RYAN.
…and I’ll add Ron Johnson and Cruz. Yet I politically agree with these two. But they are entering the “Lifer Club.” OUT!
Oh.. This list could be much longer…
Congressional term limits. Twelve years LIFETIME maximum.
No retirement benefits. Afterall, it is “Public Service.” (They retire at the salary they received on their last paycheck. Roughly $170K.)
Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment.
Restore States rights.
Axel Rodes says
Permit me to indulge myself a moment, “Hey, Democrats, FUCK YOU!!!”
To hell with unity and civility, there’s no unity, or civility, with child abusing, baby butchering, liars, thieves, and murderers. Democrats are evil. Period! It’s way past time to destroy them. In a perfect world, every top Democrat would be executed for treason.
I feel better now. Thank you for listening.
notebeat says
One thing’s for sure, if Trump doesn’t go after Pelosi, Obama, Mayorkas, Wray. and ALL the traitors in this country and government he will NOT live out his term. They will not go quietly in the night and have to put under immediate investigation. They should spend the rest of their lives and money in court or jail!
David Elstrom says
The only lesson Democrats ever takes away away from defeat is: NeXT time, use a bigger hammer.
Rob A says
If Trump delivers on his promises while at the same time, the now republican house and senate cuts the national debt, that would pretty much keep the democrats in the minority for years to come. That’s provided that the republicans don’t go wobbly and succumb to the worst instincts of RINOs.
Rob A says
The dims would be wise to heed this sage warning: What goes around comes around. Payback is a b*tch.
George says
Especially for abortionists.
Rob A says
I refuse to call them abortionists and instead choose to call them genocidal cultists. Semantics is the only thing that separates what they’re doing to the unborn from what the Nazis did to the Jews.
What the Nazis did and what the genocidal cultists are doing can he characterized as industrial scale genocide. Today’s genocidal cultists, though, are smarter and far more sinister than the Nazis ever were.
Why? Because they’ve monetized genocide (aka, abortion) and treat it like it’s a commodity sold on the open market (the globalists are also involved in the “abortion” industry.) Let that sink in for a moment.
Mike says
You cannot win an election by insulting and lecturing the voters.
Democrats keep doing both.
Race or sex is not a talent or qualification for any job or political office.
Democrats and the media are saying that whoever did not vote for Harris is a racist or sexist.
No, people did not vote for Harris because she was a terrible candidate.
Rob A says
What’s particularly galling is that despite losing, they’re still lecturing and insulting the voters.
When did democrats become deified and who deified them? What gives those self-righteous bastards the audacity to talk down to people like they’re 3rd or 4th graders?
Perhaps I didn’t get that memo….!
George says
We demand mass deportation – immediately. No excuses, despite the lawsuits and the screaming protestors we must have mass deportation – immediately.
Kent Rebman says
“What happens to the Liz Cheneys and Larry Hogans of the world?” I thought Liz was facing a firing squad, at least according to CNN and some other mouth breathers. It’s going to be on pay per view, right? /s
rogers says
I don’t see the democrats crying fraud and demanding their person won. I didn’t see Biden or Harris deny the election outcome. I have yet to see a single Democrats threaten to shoot Trump supporters. Yes, Trump has realigned our politics. He has lured a majority of the crazies over to his new party — Trump is King..
you guys are about as conservative as bernie. .
Lionel says
You can delete if you want, but why do you support Hanson? He is a fraud. He called the J6rs imbeciles for protesting on January 6 2020 at request of our POTUS who WON that election just as he won 2024. They protested as our proxies to save our country as he sat in his warm office writing crap, and some still languish in jail (hopefully not much longer). He never took those comments back – ask him!
les1976 says
RIP to all of that. AMEN!
MARYLOU LEEMAN says
All of this is just fine except I am sure there are some like me whose sons are not contacting, not responding to them because they are so upset about the election results.
I am in great pain over the possible rift because of a difference of opinion felt so strongly. Sad that we can’t talk about our strongly held views.
Quasimata says
Unfortunately, you get used to it.
I have a relative who hasn’t spoken to me since 2016, because I voted for Trump.
Perhaps you’ll have a better outcome, given time.
Michael Peppe says
What I can’t believe is the photo: look how utterly GIGANTIC Trump’s youngest son seems: he TOWERS over his father and mother!
