Media liberals savage Kamala as Trump picks experienced hard-liners

I've read 587 articles so far about why Kamala Harris was stolen, so I consider myself an expert.

I also watch cable shows where left-wing pundits grapple with the aftermath of the Democratic sweep, or where Rachel Maddow tells “free press” to “stand up and fight” while urging her colleagues to become part of the resistance. I've watched it endlessly.

The smearing of Harris and Joe Biden is at a fever pitch as Donald Trump moves rapidly to fill senior administration positions and newspaper articles warn of the horrors to come.

Nevertheless, many media liberals who praised Operation Kamala as “perfect” and “incredible” now essentially claim that it was a useless, horrible, and very bad operation. It's clear that they knew this all along but didn't say so because they were protecting the vice president as a way to keep Trump out of the White House. This was a further blow to the media's plummeting credibility.

Biden and Harris face off in leak war after Kamala Harris loses 2024 election

Below is part of the media post-mortem.

Andrew Sullivan: “How could the entire left-liberal worldview be more plainly dismantled by reality? Yet the main reaction of my own liberal friends was outrage at voters. in a text message claiming it was white people's fault that Harris lost. womanespecially. ”

Maureen Dowd: “Some Democrats finally wake up Then I woke up and realized that I was broken…

“Mr. Kamala told me that she was trying to convince people like Beyoncé that many of the struggling working-class voters she wanted couldn't even afford tickets to a Beyoncé concert. He says he made a “serious mistake'' by running a $1 billion campaign with celebrities.The down payment on his house will also be reduced.''

Nellie Bowles of the Free Press said Harris “infuriated me because she's a good person who ran a really bad campaign. It's the modern Democratic delusion that there's nothing to say. It was an election campaign that embodied all of these things.” You should know that you shouldn't answer difficult questions or give questionable numbers (because people will assume you know what's best for them), and that American women are interested in I support that the only issue to have is abortion…

“The real villains of this story are Zombie Biden and his corrupt family, and the media has been treating them like heroes throughout.”

David Brooks: “Some on the left will say Trump won because of the racism, sexism, and authoritarianism inherent in the American people. Apparently those people love to lose, and over and over again It seems like he wants to lose all the time…

“Can universities, wealthy suburbs and hip inner-city political parties do this?” [disrupt the Republicans]?Well, Donald Trump has done just that, taking over a corporate political party that is hardly an instrument of proletarian rebellion.? Those of us who look down on Mr. Trump should be humbled – he did something that none of us could do. ”

Politician: “How can Harris supporters complain that they were dragged down by Biden when they couldn’t find a single substantive policy agenda to break away from the unpopular incumbent? “What? She waited three months and couldn't come up with anything,” she blurted out on “The View.”

National review: “She was a terrible candidate with an even worse message. All she had to do was sell herself, but she couldn't even do this basic task. .”

Columnist slams Kamala Harris for failing to answer key 'opinion' questions

Well, you can understand that.

In her 107 days on the campaign trail, Harris has made no secret that she is authentic, that she can be commander in chief, or that she has renounced far-left policies such as legalizing border crossings and supporting trans surgery on prisoners. They were unable to convince the American people. ) from her last campaign. She foolishly hid from the press for a month, furthering the impression that she could not go off script.

Now, almost everyone is saying what I've been saying for three months, except for those who blame her loss on racism and sexism. Harris should never have chosen Tim Walz, who did nothing for the ticket. Transgender issues hurt her, but she never singled out an issue, whether that or anything else, to move away from the left wing of the party. She was too worried about hurting Joe's feelings.

The vice president sought to focus on table economics, including price gouging plans. But despite currently low inflation and unemployment, many Americans still feel like they're paying high food prices and like Trump's economic record better than Biden's.

Given Trump's takeover of working-class and minority voters, there may have been nothing Harris could do to stop him.

The president-elect is now moving quickly to select top appointees, immediately appointing campaign manager Susie Wiles as chief of staff. This is the first woman in history to do so.

Tom Homan, who served as ICE director during President Trump's first term, will be the border czar, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Homan, who will be in charge of the mass deportation program, was asked if there was a way to avoid separating families like the last time, and he said he would definitely deport them together.

Stephen Miller, who led a hardline immigration policy during his first term, is expected to be named deputy chief of staff, a promotion first reported yesterday by CNN, a role he will likely have as a trusted figure. It doesn't represent influence. Members of Trump's inner circle.

I was told a few days ago that Elise Stefanik, a Republican congresswoman from upstate New York, would be joining the administration. And yesterday, President Trump selected her as ambassador to the United Nations. She has experience in the White House of President George W. Bush.

Additionally, some insiders have been the subject of speculation. Wall Street CEO Howard Lutnick, who has been touted by some as a possible Treasury secretary candidate, has his hands full as transition co-chairman.

Late yesterday, President Trump selected former Long Island Congressman Lee Zeldin to run the EPA. He is a mainstream conservative who campaigned against excessive environmental regulations and received a lifetime score of 14% from the League of Conservative Voters. Zeldin's selection was first reported by the New York Post, and he told Fox News that the government would “rescind regulations” that are “straining” businesses and “forcing” them to move overseas.

He then nominated Florida Republican Rep. Mike Walz to be the White House national security adviser, which does not require Senate confirmation. As the Wall Street Journal first reported, he is a China hawk and a Ukraine skeptic. “It is the right thing to do to stop Russia before it draws NATO, and by extension, the United States, into war,” Walz wrote. “But we cannot continue to place this burden solely on the American people, especially while Western Europe is cleared.” Ta.)

Oh, and Politico says a few things Democrats are already jockeying for 2028 (Josh Shapiro and Gavin Newsom) or are talking about it (Pete Buttigieg and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear). already? Can't take a day off?

So my conclusion is that despite all the media noise about the lack of guardrails, Trump has so far chosen serious people with serious experience. (Wiles hasn't worked in Washington since the Reagan era, but her role is different.) Of course, they're also loyalists who follow his orders.

RFK Jr. will win the big title, but it's unclear whether President Trump will follow his outlandish advice on vaccines and fluoride.

And with Elon Musk taking almost all the blame, the world's richest man flooded X with hundreds of pro-Trump posts (and some prominent liberals are bailing out) ).

But the most shocking moment was President Trump's post saying Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo would do it. do not have No one expected him to join the government.

In his post, the president-elect said he enjoyed working with both men and thanked them for their contributions.

My reaction was, “Did someone steal Trump's cell phone?” The words stupid and stupid don't come out.

Perhaps this is the new tone of the president-elect, who has finally realized that he is right. Let's see how long it lasts.
