WHY TRUMP WON
While the legacy media has a meltdown searching for hitherto undiagnosed psychoses in the electorate to explain its embrace of a Hitlerian strongman, the truth is much simpler than their fictions.
This election is a reminder that after all the manufactured drama and overheated rhetoric, politics is still about issues. Whether you agreed with him or not, Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues like the border, inflation, crime, and war.
Harris ran on vibes, celebrity endorsements, name-calling (“convicted felon”, “fascist”), debunked hoaxes (“very fine people”), and platitudes (“democracy”). She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say what she would do differently. When she did talk about specific issues, they were often stolen from Trump (child tax credit; no tax on tips; border funding).
On the one issue where Democrats had an advantage, abortion, Trump deftly got ahead of the issue by rejecting a national ban and removing problematic language from the GOP platform. Harris wore out the issue by blatantly lying about Trump’s position and by exhibiting her own party’s extremism (nobody needed to see an abortion truck at the DNC).
While Trump expanded his coalition with MAHA (health) and DOGE (government efficiency), Harris concluded her ersatz campaign by going all in on demonizing her opponent, pretending Madison Square Garden was a Nazi convention.
The fact that voters saw through it should be reassuring, even if you don’t agree with the result. Voters want to know how a candidate will give them a better life and, increasingly, they have learned to tune out the rest as noise.
While the legacy media creates excuses and impugns the motives of voters to explain why Trump won, the reason is simple: Trump is the candidate who spoke to voters’ concerns directly.
It’s the issues, stupid.
I know we all want to focus on the negatives of the #Giants this year, but I want to make a list of all the positives this year.
1)
That is all @Giants
@art_stapleton I think you mean incompetent football. Paris Campbell is hot garbage. Put Hyatt on the field. Rather see a rookie out there so Jones can underthrow those passes also
How @FS1 allowed @RealSkipBayless to be on tv today after his classless and disgusting remarks last night on Twitter is absolutely repulsive. You should be ashamed to be associated with this man. Your acceptance and allowing him to be on tv makes you just as guilty. Disgusting
Dear @ComcastTV ,
Please save us from the endless loading video screens provided by @SENetworkTV and their terrible android tv boxes that never work. I will provide whatever information needed to help make this happen!
@SENetworkTV loading videos every minute. You guys have the worst equipment. The android tv devices you provide are hot garbage. @comcast please get in the hazleton area so we can have a decent cable provider. Just like their android tv devices, this provider is trash
@SENetworkTV it’s sad that your terrible service is the only provider in NEPA. Your increasing cost yearly and declining service is exactly what your brand stands for. Unreliability! Now you have saddled your clients with these android tv boxes that are straight garbage!
@Giants I would like to apply for the GM spot. I have 20 years experience playing Madden on PlayStation. I’ve managed the salary cap successfully there. I actually might be overqualified.
@SeanUnfiltered If Judge keeps his job tomorrow, it can only confirm that the giants GM will come from an in house source and this franchise will continue to absolutely embarrass itself.
@NYGDaily Please call Louis Riddick today, fire Jason Garrett today. If Judge is truly worthy of being a head coach, call the offensive plays and see if we are any better. We all know this team is not winning more than 4 games.
#FireGarrett#FireGettleman
@lt4kicks Jason Garrett’s play calling was fresh and new 10 years ago. He’s not calling plays that play to the strengths of the team. Where were the RPO play calls this week? Can we spread the ball down the field? Can we call a run that is to the strength of 26? Garrett must go!
