Could Anything Have Been Done Different?

Did Biden sink them on purpose? I think so…

Harris had no chance. They tried her out for 2020 and she crashed an burned. Negative charisma. Her best chance would have been Donald Trump doing something negative to himself.... though he seems immune to that.

They used to opine about Reagan being the teflon president. He was a piker in comparison. Trump is, for whatever you may think of him, one tough mofo.

Couldn't say as I'd blame him.

From the Democrat side that is.

You're kidding, right?

Frankly, it’s kind of bothersome that the win wasn’t bigger

Biden the day after midterm elections could have announced it’s time to hand the reins over to a new generation. Maybe, just maybe, a proper primary would have produced a better candidate.

At least an elected, not appointed, one.

That’s assuming there was actually a better candidate available. A non-heavy liberal does not make it out of an honest and open democrat primary. The DNC had to intervene in 2016, 2020, and 2024 would have been no different. Remember that Harris was the olive branch given to Warren and all of the other more radical branch of the party to keep Bernie from getting the nomination.

Right… Just like the freely selected and non manipulated primaries of 2016 and 2020 … Wink…

A good start would have been not sending up trial balloons for taxing unrealized capital gains.

"Bitter-clingers" to "Deplorable" to "Garbage." might have been a poor way to endear yourself with the electorate.

Not sure what you mean? (But I was not kidding)

I don’t think 25 year old black and Hispanic men voted Trump over unrealized capital gains.

Tell you what did move the needle...One of Trump's most effective ads addressed the transgender issue, especially with guys on girl's teams and taxpayer funded transitions. It moved the needle 3% or more on every group it was tested on.

I think the tag line of Kamala being for they/them, Trump is there for you…

[Mik]

The focus on everyone having to cater to a tiny and arguably delusional minority did not sit well with voters.

So does anybody really think that things would have had different results if Biden would have withdrawn before the primary season or if another candidate would have been named? Once the polls with their built in error was showing Trump at 48%, it was really over, in hindsight.

Again, there were no undecided voters choosing who, they were undecided on if.

An administration that wouldn't firmly and fully embrace their only ally in the Middle East, tacitly took on an antisemitic stance and quietly emboldened terror organizations, while losing the support of one of their staunchest voting blocks/donors, etc... And they still pissed off the Muslim community.

What could have gone differently? Absolutely nothing as the Democrat party has finally and completely gone over the cliff into insanity. They are morally and intellectually bankrupt, and can no longer apply reason and thought to the issues concerning this nation and instead focus on the "feels" and emotions.

They could have crafted a narrative of doing something different from the current administration. They chose "more of same" messaging instead. I don't buy any notion that this election was a done deal months ago.
