Channeling Hillary Clinton and her extreme reluctance to concede to President Trump is not a good look for Kamala Harris. It’s, quite frankly, poor sportsmanship. Yet Kamala made the political choice to turn her concession speech into a …campaign speech.
As we now know, President Trump not only won, he WON by a HUGE margin compared to Kamala Harris. And, he took all seven swing states, winning Michigan just a few hours ago.
Former President Donald J. Trump has won Michigan, according to The Associated Press, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in a closely divided Midwestern state.
Mr. Trump, who won Michigan in 2016, wrested it back this year, ending a brief streak of Democratic dominance in a state that helped elect President Biden in 2020 and where Democrats have full control of state government.
Decision Desk HQ reports that President-elect Trump has 301 electoral votes to Kamala’s 226 and won Michigan by about 1.5 %.
Needless to say, the finger pointing blame game has begun, and it’s pretty brutal.
Vice President Kamala Harris failed to connect with voters while her campaign aides focused on trivial issues, leading to her lopsided election loss former President Donald Trump, Democratic insiders tell The Post.
Harris, 60, replaced President Biden, 81, atop the Democratic ticket in late July and quickly surged in polling while raking in about $1 billion over a six-week period — massively out-raising Trump, 78, and providing the resources to drive home her early advantage over the Republican nominee.
Her failure to seal the deal outraged Democrats, including those who both worked in the Harris-Biden administration and on her campaign.
“I’ve worked on five presidential campaigns. I knew this would be hard. Others acted like they knew they were going to win,” said one person who chipped in during the final stretch of the race.
“They were arrogant.”
It’s also brutally on point, something that many in the Democrat media complex will refuse to learn. Men were consistently painted as toxic wife beaters who subjugate their wives. Women were painted as brainless or spineless creatures who had to sneak their votes for Kamala in while hoping their husbands won’t retaliate. Kamala and her team thought that was a winning message. It. Was. Not.
They thought they could shove her into office just as they did with Joe Biden. They thought voters would only care about abortion and not care about the economy or inflation. They thought we’d all be totally fine with word salads, very few but highly scripted interviews, and zero substance on the issues. The proof was in the pudding as it were.
SPECTACULAR MOMENT FOR AMERICA and for @realDonaldTrump:

Once the writing was on the wall, what did Kamala do? Pulled a Hillary Clinton and disappeared. Instead her campaign manager trotted out and told everyone to go home. It took nearly twenty hours for Kamala to pick up the phone and call Donald Trump to concede.
Vice President Kamala Harris called President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to congratulate him on winning the presidential election, a Harris aide said.
The vice president also “discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans,” the aide said. Harris will deliver her concession speech to supporters later Wednesday in Washington at Howard University, her alma mater.
Meanwhile a memo went out to all the campaign staff and volunteers.

I’m sure that made everyone feel all better. Meanwhile the blame game is gathering steam.
Coup-rage

Which is so laughable given that ALL Democrats involved were complicit in shoving Joe Biden out the door and elevating Kamala Harris in his place. Furthermore, it was KAMALA’S choice to ‘go with her gut’ and chose Tim “Blue Falcon” Walz as her prancing running mate.
What is interesting is that, as I reread what I wrote about Hillary’s concession speech eight years ago in 2016, some of the same lessons then apply today. The media and Democrats are just as aghast today that WE THE PEOPLE didn’t obey their edicts and chose (in their opinion) poorly. Once again, they demonstrate that WE THE PEOPLE have the ultimate say and they just cannot stand that.
This from Bernie Sanders is harsh, but he’s not wrong.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right. pic.twitter.com/lM2gSJmQFL
So, this evening, nearly 24 hours after her loss, showed up to give a concession speech. While she did thank her family, the Walz’s, and Joe & Jill, her speech turned into a…campaign speech. She literally doubled down on the agenda that America said a big fat NOPE to.
In fact, if you watch and listen closely to her concession campaign speech, she never congratulated Trump. Her comments about a peaceful transition was an overt jab at January 6.
Again, this was an ungracious concession speech that highly resembled a campaign speech. Kamala spent nearly 100 days calling Trump supporters Nazis and fascists, yet nothing in this speech tried to bridge that divide. Furthermore, given the content of the speech and how short it was, there was zero reason for the delay in giving it.
Maybe next time Dems should run a candidate that someone actually voted for before, instead of an unlikable empty suit.

The mistake was instead of acknowledging his mental decline and primarying Biden, they believed they could use MSM to fool voters into re-electing a…
Is it any wonder she lost?

[…] Let us be honest, Kamala proved herself to be a terrible candidate. She possesses zero charisma, and presents herself as a cackling, word salad spewing, insecure buffoon who lacks any understanding of reality and lacks an ounce of common sense. And empathy? She has none of that it seems. She comes off as an entitled ass. She is, in the end, a great example of an empty suit. Victory Girls has more […]
Cameron says: So Hillary ran on “I have a vagina and IT’S MY TURN!”
The democrats decided that a palette swapped Hillary would do better with the same platform.
GWB says: It wasn’t entirely a campaign speech. It was more of a desperation speech.
There have been rumors that her team hadn’t written either a concession or victory speech. They had written a “Hold on!” speech for the week or more the Steal Machine was going to use to count the votes. And that speech she gave sure sounded like they didn’t stray far from that.
She was expecting the Steal Machine to rev into high gear for her. She was evidently unaware that they decided to let her lose and twist in the wind, so they would never have to deal with her on the national power stage again.
Jeff Alberter says: I’ve seen a lot of this sentiment:
“Oh, if only she could’ve made speeches like this a month ago! So gracious! It was the speech of her life!”
It was the speech of her political death.
GWB says: If that was the best she could do, then we certainly were spared by not allowing her to become President.
