Now I read 587 articles asking why Kamala Harris was beaten, That’s why I consider myself an expert.

I’ve also watched countless cable segments narrated by Rachel Maddow in which left-wing pundits either grapple with the consequences of destroying Democrats or encourage their colleagues to become part of the Resistance. “free press” “to stand and fight”.

As Donald Trump moves forward to fill senior administration positions and newspaper articles warn of the horrors to come, smears against Harris and Joe Biden have reached feverish levels.

Yet many of the same media liberals who praised the Kamala operation as “flawless” and “incredible” now say it was a useless, terrible, very bad campaign. This makes it clear that they knew this all along but didn’t say it because they were protecting the vice president as a way of trying to keep Trump out of the White House. This dealt another blow to the declining credibility of the media.

Here are some of the media’s autopsies:

Andrew Sullivan: “How could an entire left-liberal worldview be more understandably shattered by reality? And yet the initial response from my own liberal friends was outrage at the voters. They texted me to insist that Harris lost because of white people — white people.” womenespecially.”

Maureen Dowd: “Some Democrats I’m finally waking up and realizing that sleep is disrupted…

“Kamala, a democratic member of parliament He made the “enormous mistake,” he told me, by running a billion-dollar campaign with celebrities like Beyoncé, much less a down payment, when many of the working-class voters he wanted wouldn’t even be able to afford a ticket to a Beyoncé concert. House.”

Nellie Bowles of the Free Press said Harris “enraged me because she was a nice, nice person who ran a truly terrible campaign. It was a campaign that exemplified all the illusions of modern Democrats: you never need to say what it is.” You (because people should assume you know what’s best for them) argue that you should never answer tough questions or appear with questionable figures, and that the only issue an American woman should be concerned with is abortion…

“The real villain of this story is Zombie Biden and his corrupt family, whom the media treats like heroes throughout.”

David Brooks: “There will be those on the left who say Trump won because of the inherent racism, sexism, and authoritarianism of the American people. Apparently, these people love to lose and want to do it over and over again…

“Can the party of colleges, affluent suburbs and hipster urban centers do this (irritate Republicans)? Well, Donald Trump was kidnapped A corporate party that does not pretend to be a vehicle for proletarian revolt, and it did exactly that. Those who despise Trump should be humble; “He did something none of us could do.”

Policy: “How can Harris’ defenders complain about being dragged down by Biden when they can’t find one key policy issue that will break ties with the unpopular incumbent president? He waited three months and blurted out on ‘The View’ that he couldn’t think of anything. That’s the difference with Biden.”

National Review: “He was a terrible candidate, if you can call it that, with an even worse message. All he had to do was sell himself, and he couldn’t even accomplish that basic task.”

COLUMN CALLED KAMALA HARRIS FOR NOT ANSWERING CRITICAL QUESTION ABOUT ‘OPINION’

Well, you get the idea.

In a 107-day campaign, Harris failed to convince enough Americans that she was real, that she could be commander in chief, or that she had abandoned far-left policies (like legalizing border crossings and supporting transgender surgeries for prisoners). ) from his last campaign. He foolishly hid from the press for a month, creating the impression that he couldn’t go off script.

Now almost everyone – except those who blame her loss on racism and sexism – is saying what I’ve been saying for three months. Harris should never have chose Tim WalzThe one who did nothing for the ticket. The trans issue hurt him, and he never chose this or any other issue to separate himself from the left wing of his party. He was very worried about hurting Joe’s feelings.

The Vice President tried to focus on kitchen table economics as he did on the price gouging scheme. But even with currently low inflation and unemployment, many Americans still felt they were paying higher grocery prices and liked Trump’s economic record better than Biden’s.

There may be nothing Harris can do to stop Trump’s juggernaut, given her usurpation of working-class and minority voters.

The president-elect is moving quickly to make his most senior appointments, immediately naming campaign manager Susie Wiles as his chief of staff, the first woman to hold the role.

Tom Homan, who was the director of ICE It’s no big surprise that Trump became border czar in his first term. Homan will be in charge of the mass deportation program, and when asked if there was a way to prevent families from being separated like last time, he said of course, deport them all together.

Stephen Miller, who carried out the strict immigration policy in the first term, is expected to be appointed deputy chief of staff; This promotion, first reported by CNN yesterday, likely does not reflect the clout he will have as a trusted figure. A member of Trump’s inner circle.

LARA TRUMP PROJECTS TRUMP WILL LEAVE WH WITH ONE OF THE HIGHEST APPROVAL RATINGS OF ANY MODERN PRESIDENT LARA TRUMP

Days ago, I was told that Elise Stefanik, the GOP congresswoman from upstate New York, would enter the administration. And yesterday Trump appointed him ambassador to the UN. He has experience in George W. Bush’s White House.

There are also insiders who are the subject of speculation. Wall Street CEO Howard Lutnick has been touted by some as a possible Treasury secretary, but he has his hands full as co-chairman of the transition.

Late yesterday, Trump picked former Long Island congressman Lee Zeldin to run the EPA. He’s a mainstream conservative who fights against excessive environmental regulations and has a 14% lifetime rating from the League of Conservation Voters. Zeldin’s selection was first reported by the New York Post, and Zeldin told Fox News that the administration would “roll back regulations” that were “straining” businesses and “forced” them to move overseas.

He next appointed Florida GOP congressman Mike Waltz as White House national security adviser, which does not require Senate confirmation. He is a China hawk and a Ukraine skeptic, according to the Wall Street Journal’s initial report. “Stopping Russia without drawing NATO, and thus the United States, into war is the right thing to do,” Waltz wrote. “But the burden cannot continue to fall solely on the shoulders of the American people, especially as Western Europe gets a pass.” (Trump has now narrowed the small margin House Republicans expected by two votes.)

Oh, and Politico says some things Democrats are already running (Josh Shapiro and Gavin Newsom) or being talked about (Pete Buttigieg and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear) in 2028. Already? Can’t we take a break?

So my takeaway is this: For all the media chatter about a lack of guardrails, Trump is so far electing serious people with serious experience. (Wiles hasn’t worked in Washington since the Reagan years, but his role is different.) Of course, they’re also loyalists who will do his bidding.

RFK Jr. He’ll land a major title, but it’s unclear whether he’ll follow Trump’s distant advice on vaccines and fluoride.

And Elon Musk He’ll be in charge of just about everything, and the richest man in the world has filled X with hundreds of pro-Trump posts (and some high-profile liberals are bailing).

However, the most striking moment was Trump’s post saying that Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo would come. Negative They were going to join the administration, but no one expected it to be them.

The president-elect said in his post that he enjoyed working with both of them and thanked them for their service.

My reaction was: Did someone steal Trump’s phone? The words stupid and moron were not visible.

Maybe this is the new tone of a new president who finally feels vindicated. We’ll see how long it takes.
