All those demo assessments are largely irrelevant.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2970791]No, you are as usual. You are so full of your usual Dem good, Republican bad nonsense that you NEVER criticize your own team even when they fuck up.
While you babble on about Arab Americans, the real Democratic turncoats were Jews. [URL]https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-won-muslim-vote-larger-margin-than-jewish-vote[/URL].
Thirty-four percentage points separated Trump from Vice President Kamala Harris among Jewish voters, according to Fox News Voter Analysis. Harris won their support 66% to 32%. In 2020,69% voted for President Biden, 30% voted for Trump. That is +5 for Trump.
In the mean time, you demonized Arab Americans, but Muslim voters favored Harris. Trump won 32% of their vote, while Harris won 63%. In 2020, Biden had won 64% of the Muslim vote, and Trump had won 35%. That is a total of only +4 for Trump.
And who could blame the Jewish voters for being like this? Kamala left competent governor Josh Shapiro at the altar for the idiot Tim Walz. And they did as you just did and trashed Isreal's uber defender, Netanyahu. How dare you compare him to Trump!
There is nothing less to say other than Merry Fucking Christmas everyone and more importantly, Happy fucking Hanukkah! He he he.[/QUOTE]Assistant to the Presidents-elect, Donald Trump, had been campaigning for that 2nd Term run since 12:01 pm January 20,2017.
His reliably pro Repub Mainstream Media has been sane-washing his idiotic blather and normalizing his Anti-America, America-hating rhetoric and nonsensical "plans" for the economy and national security ever since that hour.
Kamala Harris had 107 days to campaign and get her message out about where the economy is, why, what her plans are as president regarding the economy, national security and foreign policy and to clear up almost 7 solid years of Trump / Repub / MSM lies about all of it.
She had to focus her time, the money and attention on the states that would matter, particularly PA, MI and WI, with perhaps GA, NV and Arizona to spare.
There was no time and, as it turned out, no value in her campaigning in every Blue State, no matter how interesting and more widely informative every campaign appearance might be to the broader demos around the country just so she could shore up and recover to full strength and beyond every historically Dem demo out there, especially if she wouldn't need them to win those states anyway.
Consequently, no one should be surprised that among the millions of Biden 2020 voters who didn't bother to vote because they are perfectly fine with their situation today and, what the hell, "bothsiders" assure us it doesn't matter who is president and how bad could it get no matter who wins anyay, that there were significant percentages of those demos who went missing for the Dem candidate this time.
The drop in demos for Harris is largely irrelevant. She didn't lose California, New York or Virginia because there was a drop in Dem demos she simply did not have time to rally back to awareness and sanity. In fact, she didn't lose any hisorically Blue state for that reason. She only lost PA, MI and WI for the reason I have stated and the campaign strategists on both sides will most sure come to realize and that only by a narrow margin.
With all this red herring talk about Harris or the Dems losing demos to Trump and the Repubs, where is the evidence of it in an outcome that would have had the Dems being sworn in as House Majority in about three weeks were it not for the unprecedented, outrageous undemocratic rigging and cheating by the NC Repubs, the "shocking" outcome of Ruby Red West Virginia, Montana and Ohio voting for Repub Senators and Assistant to the Presidents-elect Trump squeezing out a narrow win based solely on a relative handful of voters from a demo over which no Dem, Repub or domestic elected official had control or meaningful influence?
And this in a year where the Global Trend was fir "change" from the party in the top spot? LOL.
Sorry, it ain't there in the numbers and results.
Maybe there's hope for you yet

The Arab American Democrats? Uh. No.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2971079]And whose fault is that? The Arab American Democrats? LOL.
Votes do not matter? Yes, this is why you are Loony Tooms.
And yet she was up in the polls and in the betting markets until the VP debate. She followed up that bump in the road with incredibly idiotic comments about NC hurricane victims and it was all over after that.
Of course, there was time to recover, but the next problem was Democratic douches like yourself. If Trump is Hitler and Netanyahu is Trump, then Netanyahu is Hitler. It is hard to be more antisemitic than that. And then there was portraying Josh Shapiro as Hermann Goering. Dems may have won Pennsylvania if Shapiro had been chosen. If the Democratic douches like yourself were not so proArab and antisemitic, Kamala may have won. He he. Allah Akbar indeed![/QUOTE]My assessment for why Biden dropped out has not changed since I posted it here the week it happened; Typically pro Repub Mainstream Media's collective gasp and way over-reaction to Biden's worsening with age verbal tick in the debate spooked the down ballot Dem donors and the money for their campaigns was pulled. He knew he would not have lost less than a 0. 9 point vote swing to Trump in PA, MI and WI and therefore win a 2nd term. But that might have come at the expense of more Repubs in the House and Senate. So he dropped out.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden's intellect, analytical skills, cognitive competence, experience, knowledge, preparedness and fitness for office, the attributes a person uses to do the job of president well, are all far superior this very day to any Repub presidential candidate or president ever.
Sure, if Harris has spent the last 7 years campaigning for November 5, 2024 the way Trump has then she would have had time to shore up any demos necessary. But her only deficit in hitting the 270 EC Votes she needed to win was a razor-thin swing in those three states, wherever it came from. It happened to come from a demo both sides courted but neither side was responsible for their grievance or the fix for it.
Aw, voters rushed to poor Trumpty-Dumpty because his VP pick and other meanies said bad things about him, calling him Hitler and all that. Poor baby. LOL.
After campaigning for 7 solid years, even the 114,890 angry Muslim voters who voted for him instead of Harris and thereby "gave Trump the presidency" already deeply regret that decision.
Trump is Hitler?
Trump is Netanyahu?
Nope.
Trump is Presidents-elect Musk, Ramaswamy and Bannon's boy, sucker. LOL.
I see you are still confused about that
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2971210]Interesting observation. It doesn't just apply to Jews and Muslims. Tooms probably could also come up with similar reasons why Harris lost because she got fewer votes than Biden among other groups. For example black men in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Or Hispanics. Suburban women, and so on. The fact is that you add up all these groups, including white males, and Harris lost by 2. 3 million popular votes and 86 electoral votes. Trump and Republicans may not have a mandate, as the country's still close to being split down the middle. But they won, and they get to call the shots.
His argument that Kamala didn't have enough time to get out her message doesn't ring true either. She was a lousy candidate, plain and simple. She would have lost if she'd been the nominee from the start. The Democrats might just have won the presidency if they'd run someone like Kyrsten Sinema, Joe Manchin or a middle-of-the-road governor against Trump, who also was a weak candidate IMHO. But the Democratic Party's moved too far to the left to nominate someone like them. [/QUOTE]House Majorities are not determined by how many votes every Dem House candidate got across the country vs every Repub House candidate.
House districts are so gerrymandered that many if not most districts barely experience a true campaign. The candidates' party has chosen its voters and they simply wait for the election results to come in.
We don't know how many overall votes would be for Dems vs Repubs if districts were drawn strictly by population and not by Party affiliation, thereby requiring each Party's candidate to duke it out in a real campaign.
It may very well be that the only reason more Repubs vote for Repub House candidates is because the Repub Party gerrymanders their districts so tight within an inch on either side of a registered Repub that there is virtually no reason for a Dem to spend 1 dime or an afternoon campaigning there trying to reverse total insanity.
If the number of votes for Dem Senators vs Repub Senators as well as Dem presidential candidates vs Repub presidential candidates over the past 35 years is any indication of how outlawing gerrymandering would change the overall number of votes across the country for House Dems vs Repub Dems I would say Repubs better hope gerrymandering is never outlawed.
See, the kind of campaign I am talking about is where the candidates have to put some time into covering their particular district's needs while also actually explaining that, no, the unemployment rate is not at an all-time high, the stock market is not at an all-time low, the price of gasoline is not double where it hit in 2019, Joe Biden did not overturn Roe V Wade, yes, Joe Biden did drop out of the race and Kamala Harris is now the Dem presidential candidate and so on.
You know, basic information that sizable numbers and percentages of voters were actually unclear about, thanks to the wonderful world of typically pro Repub Mainstream Media, right up to and beyond November 5th.
And so it begins, continued

Remember how well that worked out last time he did that? Well, he's determined to do it again.
Just catching up with this
I have been so preoccupied with enjoying the Winter Wonderland Christmas festivities here in the Land of Smiles, the delicious buffets, live entertainment, fireworks, good times and fun I had completely missed the opening shots of the Civil War between the MAGAs and the Con Artists who suckered them into voting for Trump.
It seems the short hand version of this so far is that Ramaswamy, Musk, Boomer, Bannon, everybody who is important and calling the shots in the upcoming Trump's Pandemic and Economic Disaster Part 2 are locked, loaded and taking aim at the MAGAs Trump suckered and each other, admitting the Big Con was that dumb, lazy MAGAs, unworthy of being hired to work at real jobs have only themselves to blame for why those who suckered them must still bring in lots of Immigrants to take their jobs, that the Bull Shit Department of Government Efficiency was set up by Con Man Trump only to make MAGA suckers think they are saving money for them when in fact it is meant to take money from them and make him and his billionaire buddies wealthier. Lololol. Fun stuff.
So I did a search on the topic to catch up a bit more and discovered this very interesting overview of what is going on by Steve Schmidt, a former Repub Party campaign strategist and advisor who knows the Big Repub Con very, very well.
An 8:56 minute video well worth the time:

Why we know only 1 Lost Dem Demo across just 3 States gave the win to Trump
Of the 24 or so reliably, historically, traditionally Blue States and Districts, only three of those Blue States flipped to Trump and only by a razor-thin margin. It was where less than a 0. 9 point swing from Harris to Trump in one of those three states, less than a 0. 8 point swing in another and less than a 0. 5 point swing in the third one was enough to do it.
That would be PA, MI and WI, the only 3 states that determined the difference between a President-elect Harris today and a Presidents-elect or is it Presidents-UNelect Musk, Ramaswamy and Bannon.
See screenshot below.
Scroll down to "Results" on this link for the latest numbers and points:
[URL]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election[/URL]
Now, here are a few points about the election in general and those three states in particular that I suspect the "Every Great Depression, Great Recession and Massive Jobs Loss of the past 100 years and none of the historic Economic Recoveries, Expansions and Jobs Gains happening under Repub Presidents and all of the Polar Opposite Results happening under Dem Presidents is just a wild, magical and mystical coincidence" crowd will dismiss as not ringing true. To them.
Nevertheless, the empirical evidence, admissions and acknowledgement by the key participants and beneficiary as well as the final and actual overall numbers and results provides overwhelming proof of the truth of them:
1. They were the three closest states in terms of final Trump vs Harris votes.
2. Related to the above point, they were the three states Harris spent the most time in campaigning and ad expenditures.
3. Even if Biden had been the candidate to the very end he would have only had an additional 90 days or so to campaign than Harris vs the 7 years Trump spent campaiging for it. It turns out, unlike Trump, Biden had an actual job to keep him busy since January 20,2021; recovering the colossal mess on all economic, jobs destruction, national security, health, life, death, crime rate, foreign policy, American Insurrection, Overthrowing of American democracy fronts Trump left behind and doing so in historic, remarkable and unprecedented sucessful fashion.
Ergo, Biden would have had scarcely more free time to focus on campaigning in much more than those same three states as Harris did.
And that is in contrast to Trump who, as far as anyone can tell, his only "work time" as so-called president was the 20 minutes or so it took him to sign that ridiculous, deficit-ballooning waste of tax-dollars Tax Cuts and Jobs Act put together by the Repubs in Congress one day in late December 2017. Other than that, nothing. Just walking and talking and golfing and campaigning for his 2nd term run.
4. By all accounts, those three states are not the only states in the country where demos such as, oh, black men, non college-educated whites, Latinos and yeah, even angry Muslims reside.
5. By all accounts, those three states are not the only states in the country that had access to news feeds and personal opinions and experiences regarding the economy, trannies, pronouns, immigration, Roe v Wade, who referred to who as "Hitler", crime rates, etc etc etc.
6. Yet, none of those 24 or so typically Blue States and Districts flipped to Red in the presidential contest, none of the supposedly critical Dem demos were compelled to shift from Harris to Trump in ANY of those typically Blue States or Districts enough to flip the entire state to Trump if even by a razor-thin margin or swing in votes, except THREE.
7. Those three states also happen to be the only three states where Muslim Community Leaders mobilized to channel the anger of their Community of voters, sizable in all three states, to deny the Biden Administration a presidential win due to their conflating the USA support for Israel in its conflict with Gaza with love and support for Netanyahu, who they hate. Even though almost immediately after they "gave Trump the presidency" in that way and for that reason they have deeply regretted doing so.
8. All the buzz issues Trump and his sucker MAGAs spent at least 7 years conjuring up and carried mostly unchallenged into Americans' homes by obedient pro Repub Mainstream Media and non traditional media along with all those red herrings about Dems "losing their Demos to Trump" did not matter one whit with regard to which candidate won the presidential election.
9. The only thing that mattered was that relative handful of angry Muslim joker in the deck that no one other than them had control over, unfortunately for them as well as the rest of the country, popped up in Trump's hand on that one critical day.
10. Could a surge of uncharacteristically intelligent and suddenly roused out of their MSM-assisted, Trump Con-induced hypnotic state MAGAs have rushed in to save themselves and America by voting for Harris instead of Trump in those three states and thereby counteracted the effect of those mobilized angry Muslims on the unfortunate election result, perhaps if she hadn't been a she and the other ethnic minority mix she was?
Sure. Coulda Woulda Shoulda.
But didn't.
Wow. Which Pandemic and Massive Jobs Destruction did Trump recover us from?

Listen.
Over four years, the Biden administration unintentionally misspent $926 billion to say nothing of the trillions it misspent on purpose.
The fiscal year 2024 data are in, and they show that the Biden administration has overseen a record $926 billion in improper and unknown federal payments since 2021.
That is 38 percent more than the Trump administration's $673 billion total over four years, and it's only 4 percent less than the Obama administration's $962 billion total over eight years. Moreover, all of these figures are underestimates as they only account for about 68 programs out of the more than 2,000 that the federal government operates. The Biden administration's $926 billion total translates to more than $7,000 for every household in America. .[/QUOTE]Holy shit! Trump made almost 66% of a $Trillion in improper payments after inheriting a stunning economy from Obama-Biden and accomplishing nothing over the next 4 years except losing a Trade War with China, ushering in and exacerbating Trump's Pandemic, presiding over NEGATIVE job growth, adding $Trillions to the deficit and leading a violent mob of cop-killing and maiming insurrectionists to storm and invade the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election and overthrow American democracy?
On what and to whom, exactly? His kids?
Now, if he had inherited the total shitstorm of colossal economic disaster, massive jobs destruction by the millions and managed to pull us out of one quagmire counterproductive Repub-initiated War as Obama inherited and did and all of that plus a historic, worldwide-economy destroying and global supply-chain collapsing, hyper-inflation triggering, mass murdering by the millions Trump's Pandemic to clean up and recover the world from as Biden did, well, we could understand some serious money falling between the cushions here and there to accomplish so much and so many positive results.
But from just playing golf, failing and lying about everything for 4 solid years as Trump did? Astonishing.
