Trump was the chaotic volatile change candidate. There was a method to his madness.

Kamala was the hope candidate and her great performance over Biden's favorabilty was a testament to that.

Kamala might have won big if she could have broken free of being cast as an establishment continuation of Biden. Hope and change wins as Obama taught. It would have required pushing that theme big time with big visionary plans.
