But the big problem here for all those that I’m sure are somehow declaring Harris the winner are missing one thing that is vital.
People know Donald Trump, they are used to seeing Donald Trump as Donald Trump, they are not used to seeing Harris and she looked AWFUL.
The body language, the expressions, the tones of voice, they are just horrible and annoying and it’s not just men who aren’t going to like it. Women are going to see this and it will turn them off.
Most people don’t get a lot on the actual issues, they judge on impressions. And Kamala gives you the impression of someone you simply would not want to have to sit with at a dinner, at a party, or at a bar. She is just plain unlikable.
Depending on how bad the cheating is Trump just won this election, and the real joke is that the Harris people just doesn’t see it.
Update: Apparently the votes saw a different debate than the MSM did:
Reuters interviewed ten undecided voters before and after a debate. Six of them shifted toward supporting Trump, three leaned toward Harris, and one remained uncertain. That’s a rather solid outcome for Trump.
“Although the sample size was small, the responses suggested Harris might need to provide more detailed policy proposals to win over voters who have yet to make up their minds,” wrote Reuters.

Judge:Mr. Crayhill, can we have your first witness?
Moriarty’s Defending Barrister: Your Honour, we’re not calling any witnesses.
Judge: I don’t follow. You’ve entered a plea of Not Guilty.
Moriarty’s Defending Barrister: Nevertheless, my client is offering no evidence. The defense rests.
Judge: [with Sherlock at home miming his words at home] Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. James Moriarty stands accused of several counts of attempted burglary, crimes which – if he’s found guilty – will elicit a very long custodial sentence; and yet his legal team has chosen to offer no evidence whatsoever to support their plea. I find myself in the unusual position of recommending a verdict wholeheartedly. You must find him guilty.
I’ve been re-watching the excellent series Sherlock staring Benedict Cumberbatch in the role that made him an international star as Sherlock Holmes, the excellent Martin Freeman as Watson and Andrew Scott as his arch enemy James Moriarty.
One of the interestingly odd things about the series is how Scott plays Moriarty as a boarded genius with a death wish who occasionally takes the time to demonstrate to others that anything and everything in the world is his at any time he wants it. Which is why he’s so board.
The image above is from Season two when Moriarty is arrested after he breaks into Bank of England, Pentonville prison and Tower of London where he is arrested with the Crown on his head and the scepter in his hands.
At his trial he makes no defense and the judge directs the jury to find him guilty. And they to the surprise of everyone but Sherlock and Moriarty, acquit him in minutes because both knew the fix was in, Moriarty because he fixed it at Sherlock because he’s smart.
And that’s what came to mind as I read the liveblog of the Kamala interview with reactions like this:

Okay, a few thoughts. Bash failed to press Harris on the Biden cover-up, but she did at least kinda-sorta bring it up. Walz may have just as well stayed home, frankly. Harris’ answers on policy flip-flops and Day One agenda were complete dodges. She doesn’t have any substance.
I may write more tomorrow. I’m not sure this really gave us much to work with, which is probably what Team Kamala wanted.
and clips like this:
Kamala Harris was asked a specific question about what she would do on Day 1 if elected as POTUS.
Here is a situation where she had every advantage, every prop possible and he has completely tanked. This leads to the obvious question
Why is the left not panicked? Why are they as cool as Moriarty when he rested his case?
Kamala’s interview last night was a reminder that we’re not running against a candidate. We’re running against a *system*. They require a candidate they can control, which means having original ideas is a disqualification. That’s exactly why we get Biden, then Kamala, and so on.
Could it be that they do this because they believe they can? Because the fix is in, because there is nothing that can be done to stop them and they want us to know it?
Leonard: 2.5 seconds for the light to return. That’s the moon! We hit the moon!
Zack:That’s your big experiment? All that for a line on the screen?
Leonard:Yeah, but, uh, think about what this represents. The fact that we can do this is the only way of definitively proving that there are man-made objects on the moon, put there by a member of a species that only 60 years before had just invented the airplane.
Zack:What species is that?
Sheldon: I was wrong. Penny can do better.
I must confess I’m not yet sure if it’s the former or the latter but we will find out in 70 days.
The tell that Kamala didn't do great is that literally no one in the Harris camp or the media are calling for her to do more interviews today. They're going to treat that one as THE interview and then hope to run out the clock, at least until after the debate.
For the past several decades Progressives have maintained almost complete control over the entire educational system of the United States. The evidence of that is everywhere. Would Kamala Harris be remotely competitive in this presidential election if half the electorate was not utterly indoctrinated? This election would be a landslide for Trump.
If the founding principles of the United States and civics were still taught in school would the American people have complied so meekly with all of the COVID tyranny that swept across this nation four years ago. Hell no.
The American people would not put up with having nearly half of the income confiscated by the government every year. The Boston Tea Party is proof of this.
If the Left did not have a stranglehold on our educational system half of the population would not by stymied by basic scientific truths such as the fact that males and females are different. Half of the American people would not be ready to lynch you for declaring that man-made climate change is a fraud.
Freedom of speech would not be controversial at all if half the population was not brainwashed. Facebook and the rest of the social media outlets would not be able to censor their users at all.
The mainstream media would have very few viewers for their propaganda filled broadcasts if these viewers were not first thoroughly indoctrinated.
The political left began their takeover of the American educational system back in the sixties. Their opening move was quite brilliant. They infected teacher colleges. The graduates spread their contagion to the college level. Over the past decade even grade schools became cesspools of Marxist indoctrination.
Several years ago parents began speaking out at school board meeting against the brainwashing of their children. This was so successful the justice department under Joe Biden took action. If more parents spoke out, that would be a good start.
Cutting off the flow of money from the federal government to colleges would be a big help, along with abolishing the Department of Education. The unholy alliance between teacher unions and the Democrat Party also needs to come to an end.
There is so much more that needs to be done and little time left if we want to salvage our Constitutional Republic.

RFK & Trump 8/23/24 Youtube screen capture
Yesterday there was a moment in the 2024 election that a lot of people never thought they’d see
WATCH 🔥
RFK Jr's EPIC entrance to President Trump's rally in Arizona after endorsing Trump pic.twitter.com/iL4RMlKK4D
The most incredible thing about the RFK JR. Endorsement of Donald Trump yesterday is that it was completely preventable by the Democrat party and all those who are now freaking out over this development.
Consider, at the time when RFK Jr. announced he was seeking the Democrat nomination the people who are actually running this country today (we still don’t know who that is do we) knew that Joe Biden was no longer (if he was ever) fit to hold office. They knew that five minutes in New Hampshire would reveal this, so they did all they could to keep Kennedy off the Democrat ballot, likely because they knew that while a Democrat, he would insist on actually being president.
So they did all they could to keep him off the Democrat ballot until Kennedy was forced to run as an independent, thus giving people who hated both Trump and Biden an alternative.
Even then they treated him horrible, despite the history of assassination in the Kennedy family they refused to give him secret service protection only yielding when Trump, having narrowly avoided an assassin’s bullet publicly called them out on it
When they could no longer hide Biden’s decline it was an even better situation for Democrats because while people really didn’t like Vice President Kamala Harris they didn’t hate her the way some hated Trump.
But that wasn’t enough, they did all they could to keep RFK off the ballot in states and hamper his campaign in every way possible, he addressed this in his speech withdrawing from the race:
And thus here we are now with Trump and RFK Jr. talking all the wind out of Kamala’s sails. Kamala faked having a special guest at her convention speech while Trump had a real one.
But consider for a moment what would have happened if the Democrat party had allowed RFK JR. to run in the Democrat primaries?
The Joe Biden is sharp and healthy canard would have been exposed a year early and Democrats would have had a real primary, Kennedy having a big head start would have likely won or at the very least if he lost endorsed whoever beat him in the primaries.
Just imagine the differences:
Think of what the Democrat convention would have looked like if RFK Jr. rather than Kamala had been on that stage
Imagine the whole “Return of Camelot” theme they MSM would have gone with
Imagine a person who could actually separate himself from the Joe Biden
Imagine RFK Jr. facing Trump in debates instead of Biden or Kamala
And best of all imagine the media not being exposed for the Biden cover-up
If I’m the Democrat party chair, I’d have liked my odds in November against Trump head to head with RFK as the nominee this fall, and if nothing else I’d like my odds a whole lot better than my odds with Kamala.
That could have been the conversation today instead it’s Donald Trump campaigning with RFK and addressing the issues that Kennedy cares about.
The real irony in the quandary that the Democrats find themselves in today is that it was completely preventable and only driven by the bad, dishonest and dishonorable decisions that they choose to make.
Following my first discussion with President Trump, I all tried, unsuccessfully, to open similar discussions with Vice President Harris. Vice President Harris declined to meet or even to speak with me.
All it might have taken was one meeting to prevent this:
CNN's Erin Burnett reacts to RFK's endorsement of Trump: "The latest swing state polls show Kennedy with 5 or 6 percent of the vote. Now you might say, that's not a big deal… Actually, if that's the case, it is HUGE — it is everything" pic.twitter.com/773wMXdjqG
