Want A Reason Why Kamala Lost That Makes Sense

92. Did she take on these things? I must have missed that.

I saw the same stump speech repeated before many crowds, often very excited crowds in large venues. It was a great stump speech -- FOR THE FIRST WEEK. The problem is that it never evolved. Normally, you progressively put meat on the bones as you see what is resonating with audiences. I didn't see any change in the speech from the first day to the last. And what was missing was anything concrete.

We can hate Trump all we want, but he said concrete things. He's going to put big tariffs on all imported goods. He's going to deport 20 million people. He's going to build a big, beautiful wall and have a wonderful new HC system in two weeks -- wait, that was the last campaign. The point is, it doesn't matter if it's true or even doable. The candidate that makes bold claims generally wins, and Harris said nothing specific beyond "we are going to roll back Dobbs", but she wouldn't say how.

The campaign came to measure itself by how big the crowds were. And they were much bigger than Trump's crowds. But it turns out the crowds were there for the event and the personalities, not because they wanted to help the campaign. They came out to see Obama or Beyonce, then went on about their business. Cool, a free show.
