Harris' campaign is risking a Hilary Clinton redux with a very wishy washy campaign on policy and hoping that voters will pick Harris because Trump is a bad guy. With Clinton, they thought the "grab her by the p-word", sex scandals, etc. would bring down Trump. With Harris, she thinks that Jan 6 and Trump being Trumpy is going to get enough voters to swing the election. The problem is that Trump has been extra Trumpy of late and no one really cares. Harris may be squandering her big initial bump lead by her K-hive online by not galvanizing support with big policy ideas.

There are a LOT of differences between the 2016 election and now.

1) In 2016, Trump was just rude and crude, and everyone and their brother (including me) thought he was a good businessman. A lot of people in NYC knew he wasn't, but that wasn't nationally known then.

2) He has LOST an election since then.

3) He has been indicted 4 times and become a convicted felon since then.

4) He has been called guilty of rape by a judge since then.

5) He has tried to overturn a fair election since then.

6) Most people were impressed with his relentless campaigning in 2016 (including me) and thought it showed a great work ethic that we imagined might be a positive as President. The problem was that we didn't know his campaigning was driven by his narcissistic need to be cheered and had nothing to do with a strong work ethic.

7) This is not a change election.

8) Kamala Harris has better likability than Hillary Clinton did.

9) 13 Keys predicted Trump would win in 2016. Now, the predict Harris will win.

10) Trump caught lightning in a bottle in 2016...change election, unlikable opponent, Comey doing what he did days before the election, environment ripe for a populist to come along...and then he STILL lost the popular vote.

Boy. The Democratic nominee should really be crushing him, then.

Grasping at straws I see. The reason the number for Democrats has gone down is that we aren't in the throes of a pandemic now. In 2020, Democrats were much more likely to be cautious regarding COVID than the moron Trumpers, so many more of them did the mail-in ballot thing. Easy to understand.

And, while Harris most certainly can win without PA, if you believe the polls (I don't), not only does 538 have her up by 0.7%, RCP has Trump up by 0.2%, but recently polling has shown that Democrats are greatly under represented...also, A+ poll Morning Consult has Harris up 3 points in PA.

BUT, none of the above matters. 13 Keys says Harris will win...and she will.

Get your hot cocoa and blankie ready.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the government funding and shutdown. The GOP tried to put in a poison pill demanding voter ID. But then it got tabled because they realized many grandma and grandpa Trump voters don’t have updated passports and it would have hurt themselves.

ELON: THE WOKE MIND VIRUS CREATES AN ARTIFICIAL CIVIL WAR

"To summarize the woke mind virus, It consists of creating very, very divisive identity politics.

It actually amplifies racism, it amplifies, frankly, sexism and all the -isms.

While claiming to do the opposite, it actually divides people and makes them hate each other, and it makes people hate themselves.

And it's also anti-meritocratic.

It's not merit-based.

You want to have people succeed based on how hard they work and their talents, not who they are.

Whether they're a man, woman, what race or gender.

It's an artificial mental civil war that’s created.

And let me tell you, it's no fun, okay?

Woke mind virus and fun are incompatible.

There's no fun in that.

No joy.
The woke mind virus is all about condemning people instead of celebrating people.

You know, like when in the work, it just doesn't celebrate.

It's all about condemning and being divisive and I think it's just evil, frankly."
