Vice President Kamala Harris slides in the polls Democratic National CommitteeTalk about merging the /Harris campaign/mainstream media is getting even sillier.

to claim that J.D. Vance and Donald Trump being “weird” didn’t help—especially given the truly odd behavior of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and so-called first gentleman Doug Emhoff.

Harris’s next meme was also unconvincing: that the frantic and incessant Trump was somehow “exhausted,” “senile,” and “confused.” Voters know that the younger Harris often has much shorter work days, sometimes no work days at all.

But Harris also falsely claimed that physically and mentally disabled President Joe Biden was, in her words, “absolutely authoritarian” and “very brave and energetic.”

Harris now claims Trump is a ‘fascist’ a “dictator” and “unfit” for duty. But this new talking point also won’t stop the bleeding of the Harris campaign; and for various reasons.

First, voters see the election as a clash of two diametrically opposed visions.

On the one hand, there is the concrete previous Trump 2017-20 record: border security; no major wars abroad; Calmness in the Middle East; a deterred Russia, Iran and China; low inflation; low interest rates; lower crime; lower taxes; a strong, deterrent military and opposition to mandatory electric vehicle mandates, biological males competing in women’s sports, and the woke/diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda.

On the other hand, Biden-Harris has a record 2021-2024: uncontrolled entry of 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens and a destroyed border. People are still struggling with Biden-Harris’ previous hyperinflation and high interest rates. Terrible regional wars in Ukraine and the Middle East continue. Biden-Harris embraces unpopular woke/DEI agenda.

Harris herself knows that the Biden-Harris years were unsuccessful. So he jettisoned almost all of the administration’s hard-left agenda, policies he had embraced for most of his adult life.

So suddenly, in the last 90 days, Harris has completely changed and fallen.

He is no longer in favor of cutting funding, but rather more funding. police. He pivots to a secure border, rather than 20 million illegal aliens flooding the border. Instead of banning fracking, Harris boasts about fossil fuel energy; He is in favor of increasing the defense, not cutting it.

In fact, an endangered breed of incumbent Democratic senators in swing states are claiming allegiance to Trump’s issues rather than identifying with Harris and her unpopular vice-presidential record.

Voters will likely conclude that if Trump doubles his record and Harris and many senators tentatively support it, it will be more influential and popular than Harris’s.

Second, Harris now claims that Trump is a fascist and insurrectionist.

But “Jan. 6″ and tedium no longer convinces voters that Trump is a danger to everyone. Harris bragged about much more violent demonstrations in 2020 (five dead, $2 billion in damage, 1,500 police officers injured, 14,000 arrested) and that the unrest won’t stop and ” They remember him saying, “it shouldn’t stop.” Liberate jailed violent protesters.

There is no slur either. o Trump It is a fascist echo. The Obama-Biden and Biden-Harris administrations weaponized the CIA and FBI to interfere in the 2016 and 2020 elections by selling the fake “Steele dossier” and suppressing all the embarrassing news about Hunter Biden’s incriminating laptop.

Trump certainly did not coordinate with local, state, and federal prosecutors to pursue legal prosecutions to destroy his political rivals, as Biden did. He did not use the FBI to partner with social media to suppress the news.

Neither Trump nor his supporters tried to oust Biden from the state’s elections.

The Republican majority of the House of Representatives has not impeached Biden twice, despite the Biden family’s corruption and Joe Biden’s illegal removal of classified documents to several unsecured private residences over decades.

Trump and the Republicans have never forced out the party’s primary-winning candidate. They did not frustrate the will of 14 million voters. And in the background, they couldn’t appoint a candidate who had never been in a primary election in his life.

Trump also did not support packing the Supreme Court. He is not seeking unconstitutional means to destroy the Electoral College. He is not calling for an end to the Senate filibuster or the creation of two new states to gain four partisan seats in the Senate.

Third, as for Trump being “unfit” and lacking “decency”? It depends on what the Biden-Harris standards are.

A trans activist flashing her breasts on camera at a “pride party” at the White House?

Biden reportedly called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “fool” and “son of a fool.” Bragging about putting Trump in jail while making a case against him?

Release his son Hunter Biden with impunity to shake foreign governments?

The November 5 election will not be decided on these empty speeches or the false narratives produced by the media.

Instead, only two criteria matter: Which candidate’s track record and current agenda will appeal most to voters? So which candidate seems the most authentic and sincere?
