Democrats have an enormous dilemma if Kamala Harris loses

Kamala Harris outdid Trump with fundraising and could become America's first female president

2 Nov 2023 ~~ By Mark Halperin

Now it’s the final stretch, the final sprint. The race currently seems so tight, it is impossible to predict with confidence who will win, or what ultimately will be the deciding factors for the voters. Yet in a few short days, we will likely know the answer. Then Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah , Christmas, New Year’s, and at last, Inauguration Day. On January 20, 2025, the next POTUS will take office. Former President Donald Trump may return to the West Wing, or we may greet President Kamala Harris as Number 47.
~Snip~
If Harris wins, there would be celebration in the blue streets, excitement about the historic first female American president, and hope that Harris would bring to the Oval Office a refreshing mix of energy, leadership, unity and smart new ideas.
~Snip~
If Harris loses the election and Trump returns to the White House, there would be a seismic, convulsive uproar of angst and censure within the Democratic Party that would resonate from coast to coast. There would be much to blame, and many to blame, and the accusations would be flung far and wide, with fury and fervor.

~Snip~
If Harris loses, Democrats in Washington and around the country would have an enormous task: they would have to find a way to salvage the party and come to terms with its fractured identity and significant disillusionment from its base, all while dealing with fallout from the election, preparing for political combat against Donald Trump, and managing a collective mental health crisis from its disillusioned cohorts.
And if Harris loses, this would be the Democrats’ biggest problem: there would be zero consensus in the party about what went wrong – and thus zero consensus about what the proper solutions should be, and, therefore, zero consensus about which leaders should be empowered to bring the party back to power.
All we do know is that, under those circumstances, it almost certainly won’t be Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.

Commentary:
Harris is manifestly unpopular and, most importantly, she never won a single vote. She was parachuted in to the top of the ticket with a hundred days left in the race.
There are A LOT of Democrat politicians who would be happy to see her lose and end her political career knowing that 2028 will be a clean slate for both parties.
This adds to my optimism for Trump. Democrats know that he's not going to be Hitler. If anything, he'll be a lame duck. Maybe JD Vance will be the frontrunner in 2028. Who knows? One thing we do know is that the field will be full in 2028 with a dozen strong Republicans running under the MAGA banner.
And the Democrats' field will be full as well. If Harris loses (and she should), it'll be a golden opportunity for the Dems to ditch the psychotic woke left and return to being a working-class blue collar party, maybe run some white male governors in the Bill Clinton mold.
Point is, there's A LOT of Dems who aren't going to pull out the stops for Harris hoping that she'll lose, disappear, and open up the field.
I wonder, did Paul Ryan edit thus Op-Ed or was he the ghost writer for Halperin?

She isn't going to.lose. What happens after should be the concern, becase between China controlling the U.N even though they spend .peanuts compared to the U.S, Iran, Russia and N.Korean proxies creating conflicts, the future challenges are very real.
 
Democrats have already lost

After hiring all the slutty-singing female hip-hop sexually explicit lyric crew of lizzo, beyonce, and cardi b all Harris needs to do now is hire Ice spice, GloRilla and Stallion to introducer her, and it's official... the whole sexually explicit rated XXX female rap crew on board; as a mirror image of her.

You're day of the election voters are republicans.... don't remain slow about knowing that.

There are NEVER any large numbers of democrat votes holding out for Election Day. Dems vote early or not at all.
 
No they don't. Young people largely support Democrats, and young people are the future. Nevermind the amount of immigrants coming in who will (or are) voting blue. The Democrats will barely have to campaign at all next time around. Trump might win this election. Maybe. But like I tell people, he's carrying the Republican party. Once he can't run anymore, the Republicans are toast. Without him, the Republican Party leadership reverts to a bunch of slow-motion Democrats whose only policies are bombing brown people, and corporate welfare while paying lip service to, "traditional values" that they neither believe in nor practice. His win gives those of you still in the US four extra years to either stockpile canned food, ammo, meds, and other goods, or begin organizing a very very very long vacation somewhere outside the country. Once his second term is done, or if he loses, the US is basically a one-party country.
 
After she loses power hungry Kamala will demand to be the party leader and nominee in 2028. She'll kick Obama to the curb just like she did Biden and attempt to take over.
Actually it is time for the Obamas and the Clintons to leave the democrat party alone just as the Bush family has left the republican party alone.

They need to go away for good!
Kamala is done; she's with Bernie

Ah, the Bush family tried to get Jeb in there in 2016. Bush allies the Cheney's are trying to destroy the Republican nominee. I think the Bush family is very much involved.

Young people attend rallies, if they are told it's part of their grade in college, but they don't vote. They are told to bring in proof they attended a rally for higher grades/points.

There is nothing in it for them. I was once young (20 somn) and we did not do anything adults told us to do unless a free t-shirt, some gift cards, or a free meal was being given away. When I was young we did not have any time to waste on old people voting crap.

We were popular and our schedules were jam packed.

I dunno if I'd say the Bush family left, same with the Cheneys and McCains. It's more like 2016 rolled around and the constituency showed them the door. But I agree that the Democratic Party itself is overdue for a shakeup in leadership.

young people may be the future but old people voting crap is not on their young agenda. never depend on the young vote of those age 18-29. The millennials (gen Y) vote in large numbers, but generation z is not ready.

I strongly doubt that all these young people are just pretending to be progressive and are secretly not voting at all. It seems highly counterintuitive that someone would attend a protest, but not go out and vote. And, of course it goes without saying that older people who more often than not vote Republican are dying out. I'm telling you, the ship you are on is sinking. It is very much in your best interest to begin preparing your exit from it.

Not this time....election day voters for trump were urged by repeated trump campaign phone calls to vote early and as urged, voted early this year, and dems are out there knocking on doors with their get out to vote ground game for election day....!😁

I see you're overseas, so you can't know what's going on here on the ground.

If Trump wins--and I still think he will--it's a cultural revolution. Not just political. Cultural.

Woke hasn't been cool for a long time, and the kids are sick of it. And now they are literally sick from the shots and vaccines, beloved by the Left.

Interesting times ahead.

You still have Harris.

No one is excited by Harris, no one.

If the minorities and city folks aren't excited--and I don't think they are--it's over really fast. For you
 
Democrats don't have a dilemma with the Party if she loses.... (But she is likely going to win)

She did an excellent job in reviving the party, and gave it her best shot....

Trump has had 4 years running as a presidential candidate....

She's had a little over 3 months....and to think she's tied, to an edge on winning against him, in such a short period of time....!!!!

No one in the party can be upset if she does get eeked out!

You don't have a party left if she loses. That's what's at stake.

You will have lost too many minorities, the working class, the middle class, and most of the youth.

You will have suburban white wine guzzlers, beta men, professors, and the bureaucrats.

Man, good luck if this is how it plays out.

She's got lots and lots of support and excitement and has the edge on that over Donald....

That's ridiculous. The party will be just as strong as ever or even stronger with Trump in office to unite them!
