I don’t have the same impression of the election. I liked her platform. Her opponent did not have a platform except tariffs and hate. I think the mistake was there wasn’t a real convention…no one ran against her and the impression many held was that she wasn’t a real selection…that she was forced on them. So they didn’t vote. Plus, coming from a woman’s perspective, it feels like this country still isn’t ready for a woman to be elected president. But I appreciate your perspective in your article.

We will never know but Tim Waltz was a great choice. It is her campaign managers that told Waltz to stop the "weird" comment, which propelled them to initial success. Quite frankly, the entire 2024 Dem strategists are to blame. They were God awful.

I end by saying this, how can you not combat the Trans issue or not do things to motivate the base. Ie: ignoring black media, no bro podcasts, etc.

We will learn from this.

Absolutely. Use your heads and go for the win, Dems. There's a lot of us longing for guts, coupled with integrity and truth- telling about the USA. The good, the bad and the ugly, and what we propose to do to might it right. Some will be offended, but more will consider a vote finally matters.

This post would fail a grammar and style test: “more sooner” is a telling example. Using “he” as an object is another. What’s going on, Mr. Carville and Mr.Hunt? Mistakes like these hurt your credibility.

Wow! You managed to completely avoid the message by picking on details. Nice deflection, MAGA.

Hey, ease off pal. We all make mistakes. You are welcome to kick rocks with the unwarranted criticism.

“We all make mistakes” is no excuse. Of course these errors are minor, but collectively (here and elsewhere) they make reading harder. Is it too much to hire a proofreader or editor?

Kamala was a Biden mouthpiece. No independent thinking or policies. Biden was a disaster and she was his hand puppet. That’s not presidential material in a man or a woman. She self immolated.
