Same skilled liar and demagogue that Biden beat four years earlier and that Hillary at least won the popular vote against.

Now that may have just been the mood of the electorate, the tide of inflation, the record illegal immigration. I don't know. It wouldn't have been easy for any Democrat. And she was invariably running against Biden who was very unpopular and did nothing to distance herself from him.

Her approvals were not great. Sure, next to Biden, anything was an improvement, but she has never been popular. She was one of the first to scrub out in 2020.

As to my being a sexist, I would say you are using it like a loose canon without even knowing me, and if you really believe that everybody is sexist, I think you reflect that part of the Dem party that is its problem, judgmental. I supported Amy Klobuchar in 2016 and think she would have been better. And I think Gretchen Whitmer or Tammy Duckworth would have been better.

My take on Harris is that she just goes with the flow. She was a progressive when it suited her in CA, she never really defined herself in 2020. She didn't campaign progressive, but neither did she run center. It would have helped her to admit that record numbers of border crossers were a mistake. The country was not happy with the Democratic party and she didn't distinguish herself in any way from that.

And btw Trump increased his vote relative to the Dems more among women than men. The margins moved to Trump 5% among women and 2% among men.
