Axios is out with an article this morning detailing how top Democrats feel like Kamala is going to lose the presidential election and some are already pointing fingers and who is responsible for this loss.
Here’s more from Axios:
A growing number of top Democrats tell us privately they feel Vice President Harris will lose — even though polls show a coin-toss finish 11 days from now.
Democrats admit they tend to be hand-wringing, bed-wetting, doomsdayers. But what’s striking is how our private conversations with Democrats inside and outside her campaign reveal broad concern that little she does, says — or tries — seems to move the needle.
In a troubling sign for the campaign, top Democrats are already starting to point fingers at who’d be more responsible for a Harris loss — President Biden for dragging his feet, or Harris herself. “Going down?” a top Democratic official texted.
Democrats fear she has made too many different cases against Trump, and still hasn’t fully revealed herself to voters, who crave to know more.
“She is who she is,” one longtime Democratic strategist said. “Let’s hope it’s enough.”
A common gripe among high-level Dems is that Harris does a nice job explaining why people shouldn’t vote for Trump — but struggles to crisply explain why they should vote for her. In other words, she’s a strong prosecutor — but struggles as a public defender.
Democrats once felt very good about Nevada, a state Biden won in 2020. But early voting has them panicked. Jon Ralston, the top Nevada election expert, writes that the surge in early rural Republican voting — a “rural tsunami” — is ominous for Harris: “There is no good news in these numbers for Dems.”
Pennsylvania continues to worry Harris, despite Biden winning there in 2020. Among the seven swing states, it’s the one campaign insiders think she absolutely has to win, with signs of GOP momentum in the state’s Senate race.
The bottom line: We can’t ignore the reality that no matter what Harris says or does, this country has never elected a woman president and only once elected a Black president. It’s never elected a Black woman. Toss in broad concerns about immigration and inflation, and it’s a lot to overcome, her advisers say.
No it’s not about her being black or being a woman. She’s a bad candidate and she’s an idiot. Trump offers hope and Kamala offers dope – because she is one. She can’t even answer simple questions about herself, her policies or why she hasn’t already done them. All she has right now are attack lines on Trump and that’s why she’s not moving the needle and isn’t winning.
