People have chided Baris over his Kemp statement. He botched that.
However, he is quite good.
Btw, Atlas Intel will probably once again be the number one pollster in accuracy after this go-around.

Trump having stops in Cal, NY, and VA helped and he might not have won the popular vote without doing campaigns in those states.

I always suspected this was a leftist plot to suppress thethe. Another conspiracy proven as fact
The swing with Latino voters is big news for NY, as is the swing with Jewish voters. This election cycle could certainly signify a huge culture shift. And Dems should be taking notes that this far left ideology isn't playing well on the national scale.
Stop pandering to the far left and Hollywood elites. Stop being afraid to say things like puberty blockers and sex change operations on minors are bad. Or that mis-gendering is not hate speech.

I don't think it mattered that much. With the search volume of things like "Who's running for president" "Did Joe Biden drop out" etc. Trump I think benefitted from the non-active voter push. People who thought "we've had a democrat, let's spice it up" kind of ****.
I think as well a chunk of people were probably pissed off that there wasn't a democratic party primary. I think had Joe Biden said in Jan 2023 "I feel as if doing this job is too hard on an old man, I'm not going to run for re-election and focus all my attention on running the country" and we had a proper primary, we could have had a different election. One debate between Trump and Kamala helped Trump as did only 1 debate between Vance and Walz, that's not a good point for the dems to make up ground on an already tough thing (winning an incumbent presidency in the modern era)
Basically the dems never replaced their "Get Trump out of office" momentum of 2020 and were hoping that the same energy would be brought in, and didn't have a significant platform. Dems need to find their next pool of candidates and get them out right away talking about labor. That's where the battles are being won and lost. If you can get back to what made the dems strong (blue union votes) then you can reclaim a healthy dose of power. Trump's cross appeal into the blue collar midwest types, hurts the Democrats. They need to bring that vote back into their fold and basically need to get similar quality of voices talking about labor. Trump doesn't care about the employees, he cares about "jobs" as a concept. Jobs means product made etc. If the dems can convey that message they're the party of the worker, then they can reclaim a block that's slipping. But they need to make a concerted effort for that. Not just throw out a few platitudes while trying to appease everyone. If one thing is blatantly clear is that by appeasing everyone you appease no one.
The economy decided the election and Kamala had nothing to speak to to either defend the current admin's position or to talk about how she will deal with the economy. Even if it wouldn't have mattered, having a talking point like Trump with his Tariffs is something to do. Everyone knows those Tariff talks are bluster.
Personally I don't really care about the movement of Trump, the bigger red flag is the movement of Senators and House and Governors.

If you hold him to zero accountability, make excuses for every failure, suspend your previously held value to agree with everything he says, and idolize him like a god, I will happily call you that
Yes - All those things happened.
It wasn't you who developed TDS and went into brain rage.

The was a resounding and wholesale rejection of the left and its policies the last four years.
From loan forgiveness, to open borders, DEI, to gender shenanigans … whatever.
Whatever it’s been the Dems lost on it and have been for two years now. Too slow on the pivot.

If calling out a politicians real failures and leftist policy shifts is TDS, then call me guilty
I always thought TDS was the delusions of fantasy hoaxes, but I suppose it's morphed into not wanting national healthcare, lockdowns, and abortion as a major policy proposal from the GOP
