Trump Projected to Lose to Harris
By Cliff Kincaid When historians look back on the election of 2024, the turning point will be perceived not as the attempted murder of Trump by the Deep State but his abandonment of the Christian conservatives who helped elect him in 2016. That sealed his fate, electing Kamala Harris as the first female president. Professor Allan Lichtman, who has correctly predicted nine of last ten elections, says Harris will win, based on several factors, including consolidation of the Democratic Party base of support. It didn’t have to happen this way. Trump had everything going for him in his battle against Biden and then Harris. A bad economy was enough to give him the victory. But just two months or so before the November 5 election, he decided to move left on abortion and even legalization of drugs, in a desperate appeal to feminists, gays, and stoners. Meanwhile, the Democrats assembled their winning coalition. It was all predicted by yours truly. In my column, How Trump's Red Wave Could Fizzle Out, I noted that the Democratic Party is not organized around one man but Barack Hussein Obama’s “Permanent Revolution” strategy of grabbing political power, based on the exploitation of alienated groups. Obama operative Steve Phillips had devised this strategy of capturing a majority of the electorate. He calls it the “New American Majority,” meaning they had a lock on at least 51 percent of the electorate, consisting of people of color (23 percent of all eligible voters) and white progressives (28 percent of all eligible voters). This “New American Majority” also incorporates those with a secular, humanist, atheist, or New Age mentality. The newest “constituency” consists of dope smokers. Another turning point for Trump was bringing in RFK Jr. into his coalition, having abandoned the votes of evangelicals and Catholics who found his embrace of “abortion rights” and IVF to be anti-Christian. Posturing as someone who wanted to “Make America Healthy Again,” RFK Jr. promoted legalization of marijuana, on the spurious grounds that making the mind-altering drug more available would somehow enable society to tax the dope and later save people from health problems and ruin. Another member of the “new” Trump 2024 coalition was Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat and Bernie Sanders supporter known for her meeting with the Russian-backed dictator Assad in Syria. In my column, Two-Faced Tulsi, I noted that she had dropped out of the Democratic presidential primary and endorsed Joe Biden for president and subsequently became a paid contributor on Fox News lecturing the public about “integrity” in politics. She was a fraud from start to finish before endorsing Trump and becoming a prominent MAGA member. Like Kamala, Gabbard supported Obamacare and wanted it expanded. In fact, she demanded “a mandatory single payer system,” saying it “would be even better.” That was the Bernie Sanders or socialist approach once embraced by Kamala. She would say and do anything to get face time and was more of a flip-flopper than Kamala. She not only had a cozy meeting with the Russian-backed Syrian dictator but even has Chinese communist ties, as documented by analyst Trevor Loudon. The first Hindu member of Congress, she was allegedly associated with a branch of a New Age eastern religious organization that some describe as a cult. Nevertheless, she and RFK Jr. were made members of Trump’s “presidential transition team” that went nowhere. It was a thumb in the eye to Trump’s longtime conservative supporters. For Trump to bring those two characters into his presidential campaign, at a time when he needed to solidify his conservative base of support, was a terrible miscalculation. It showed he had learned nothing from Ronald Reagan’s two successful runs for president, when he depended on the “three-legged stool” of support from economic, foreign policy, and social conservatives. Trump’s decision to move left on such issues as abortion, gays, and dope led one Christian conservative to comment to me that he was considering not voting because of the nature of the “corrupt system” in America today. It is a system that rewards corrupt political practices and alliances, all for the purpose of facilitating the tenets of society-destroying Cultural Marxism. There is no other way to describe Trump’s embrace of such far-left figures as RFK Jr. and Tulsa Gabbard. In retrospect, it looks like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would have been a better choice for Republicans, as he demonstrated in his work as governor that he would stand by conservative principles. An economic conservative, he was strongly pro-life and opposed the legalization of marijuana in his state.

Desantis' biggest mistake during the primaries was to be trump lite. He should just be himself and ignore the donors and his campaign managers; which just made him sound awkward during the campaign.
