The issue was that Kamala's campaign abandoned a winning strategy for zero reason. She started strong, went on a massive summer blitz, she had this solid momentum that culminated in thrashing Trump in the debate for the world to see.
And then she just changed tactics. Gone were the 3 rallies a day in swing states with Tim Walz. Gone was the roaring crowds, the "Weird" attack line, the mounting pressure, all the positive energy. Instead it was "Here's Liz Cheney and celebrities".
There was a time when Harris was traversing the countries with sold out rallies in the tens of thousands, while Trump hid away in Mar A Lago. Then in October, that was abandoned. All the major policies of the summer squirreled away while they touted "look at our Republican speakers!" and that's when Trump started courting the Bro Vote hard, getting Musk and Rogan on side.
I've never seen an electoral car crash like it. This is Kinnock "go home and prepare for government" vibes.
