It Didn't Work - Trump Outpolling Harris

It is amazing watching the press literally fawn over Kamala Harris, as she moves ahead to challenge Donald Trump in the battle to become the next President of the United States.

The initial polling is in. It didn't work. Trump leads Harris by 1.9% in national polls (2.8% if the five people challenging to become President are included in polling), and latest polls show his lead growing, not shrinking.

Harris has become the candidate for the Democrats without having to beat any challenger whatsoever. She has been nominated by the party hierarchy and the moneymen who run that party. This is a serious mistake, as it arms Trump and his minions to claim that he is the democrat, not Harris, as he was actually elected to the position as his party's nominee. Any process would have been preferable to nothing. Note - Trump has started calling this a "coup"...millions of voters will agree with him.

The Democrats have also doubled-down on the claims that Trump is a felon, seemingly unable to understand that this claim has not hurt him to date, and there is little chance that it will do so now. As noted in this blog...

...Trump's base grew with his criminal convictions, not shrank.

The problem is simple. 

The Democrats do not understand masses of the American people. The are preaching incongruities to a group of people who simply see the world in a different light. The Democrats do not have a leadership problem; they have a comprehension problem, as in they don't properly comprehend the basic preferences, ideals, perspectives, hopes and dreams of tens of millions of people who they want to lead.

This may change as Trump's infirmity becomes clearer, and Harris comes to be preferred only because she isn't a fossil. But the GOP has been better at hiding Trump's issues than the Democrats were at hiding Biden's.

Will the Democrats seek to dump Harris at the DNC in August via a contested convention, when it is clear that she cannot beat Trump?

The craziest election ever continues!
