I really don’t think so. She underperformed with every single group. There wasn’t a single county in the whole US where she done better than Biden.Quote:

He had a great holiday but he said there was a ridiculous amount of halfwits with Trump t-shirts on everywhere they went and support was growing. And of course nobody rated Harris anyway.
This has been widely discussed on the radio this morning too. Emily Maitlis said it was one of her key takeaways when she visited the States over a year ago to gauge the opinions.Quote:

Yes, I'm sure that'll all trickle down to the ordinary Joe on the streets.Quote:

The key problem is that low level wages have stagnated since Bill Clinton was in office, while most of the proceeds of growth have been grabbed by the very wealthy.
Yet America votes for billionaires. Go figure.
Average mean household income after bills grew 8.3% under Trump and 1.4% under Biden, yes outwith there control but people don't think of that. Massive inflation particularly around fuel and food. A large rise in immigration, Dems had no chance
Just re-arrange the title from:Quote:

Albeit that's not exactly what she said. Hate to go off thread but the actual quote was "we're not genetically programmed in Scotland to make political decisions" and what she meant by that is Scots aren't programmed but rather have free will when presented with political choice.Quote:

Is this not just grasping at straws, Trump is not who I hoped would be elected, but it was a fair democratic choice by the citizens of America.Quote:
