From the Democrat side that is.
You're kidding, right?
Not sure what you mean? (But I was not kidding)

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

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

So does anybody really think that things would have had different results if Biden would have withdrawn before the primary season or if another candidate would have been named?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.

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.

Interesting graph. One of President Trumps main campaign items in 2016 and 2020 was how much better he would be in controlling the border. Hmmmm, doesnt seem that way.....
Of course, in 2024, the bar is set so low, that it will be difficult not to clear. LOL

With the exception of 2019, he did as well as anyone in the 7 years before him.
A bit of a longer timeframe:

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@George-K I dont disagree. But, based on what he campaigns, he basically said he shut down the border.
The reality is that (and I did not do the math) it appears that President Obama average rate of illegals from 2013-2016 was lower than the average illegals under President Trump from 2017-2020

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

People don't tend to want to come to your country during an economic depression.
The economy under the Biden administration is GREAT, that’s why so many people want to come here under the Biden administration.

Do you disagree that total overall illegal border crossings during the first term of President Trump were higher than the last four years of President Obama?

I agree that total observed border crossings were somewhat higher, yes. But those stats are observed. The number of border patrol agents were higher and the number of possible entry points were lower..

I hope there exists a sweet spot, after Trump starts doing something about the border, where TG will appreciate that he's doing what he said he'd do, but not yet criticizing him for being mean to illegal immigrants. There will be no such sweet spot TDS sufferers, but our TG isn't really a TDS sufferer.
