Mike Lee warns Republicans to take Harris seriously: ‘We should be very worried’

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) warned Republicans not to underestimate Vice President Kamala Harris’s ability to win her presidential battle against former President Donald Trump.

The senator said he believes Harris “could win,” adding that “Republicans would make a huge mistake by discounting her” during an interview with political commentator Tucker Carlson on Tuesday.

Lee said Harris could be the victor in November partly because he believes the press is on her side. He criticized media outlets for walking back Harris’s label as “border czar,” a title she was commonly referred to after the White House tapped her to address immigration reform at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“They’re scrubbing things she has said in the past,” Lee said during a two-hour segment of the Tucker Carlson Show. “Crazy statements she has made, from defunding the police to aggressive, radical climate change policies, Green New Deal Stuff.”

Lee is worried the press is “papering over” Harris’s record. He said Trump could lose to the vice president “because she’s got this media industrial complex that’s completely behind her.”

Yes, we should take this seriously. It's not so much her as the inevitable vote fraud her party will commit.
Republicans could be up by 5 points across the board, but it may not be enough.

Anyone thinking that Trump will inevitably win because of the evilness and incompetency of the leftists are foolish.

Screw Harris.  Everyone else has.

Okay, but there's no way I'm leaving a tip on the nightstand.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

If Trump wins her tips will be tax free.

Joe Rogan warns Kamala Harris will win because people are 'giving into the bulls---' like never before

Top podcaster Joe Rogan warned this week that Vice President Kamala Harris will win the presidency because Americans are buying into the "bulls---" anti-Trump narrative more than ever before.

During a new episode of "The Joe Rogan Podcast" featuring commentator Michael Malice as a guest, Rogan insisted that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Harris will win because of how much liberals are aligned against former President Trump.

"She’s gonna win," Rogan insisted Tuesday, arguing that people are so manipulated by the media that they will pull the lever for her.............

Remember the predicted red wave?

And I remember all the Fox News pundits and talk radio and people like Karl Rove predicting a Romney win in 2012

She will  be Trump’s toughest opponent. And if somebody like a Shapiro or a Beshear, she will be that much more formidable. Nobody should kill themselves that if she picks Shapiro, the HAMAs wing will be upset enough to withhold their vote

She doesn’t even have to run a good campaign. She just needs to make sure she gets her base out to vote for her and big enough numbers especially inner city blacks.

None of these candidates are particularly popular with the public. But like another poster mentioned in another thread, it’s very possible voters will vote for her just to put someone new in

Mitt Romney ran a pretty decent campaign in 2012 and was doing alright in the polls. He did better amongst rule and suburban voters than McCain in 2008 due to voters dissatisfaction with the economy and direction of the country at that time

But Obama’s race and ideology won him the affections of his base. And that’s all that will matter to Harris’s voters, especially because she’s more left wing than Obama was

First mistake was the idea that Republicans had that Democrat voters would somehow be upset that their voice was taken away from them. They voted for Biden in the primary and now they got a replacement that they didn’t vote for.  Bull!! They are relieved and happy because  they knew there was no way they were going to win with a brain addled Biden. Now they are revived

She could very seriously flop in the coming months. But I wouldn’t bet on it. And will that be enough to overcome the identity politics of left-wing voters


Mike Lee is right. And it doesn’t matter who the Republican candidate would’ve been. This is not the same electorate as 1980

Running ads showing how far to the left she may turn  off independent voters to her.  But that doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily pull the lever for Donald Trump. They may just decide both these candidates are bad enough and stay home

But it could further fire up her base. Especially young people who think the biggest issue facing them is climate change

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Mike Lee is right.

She checks all the right boxes for Left-wing voters

Female, minority, and very liberal

All she needs to do is gain 200 pounds, dye her hair multicolored, get large amounts of piercings and tattoos,  and identify as non-binary and she’d be perfect for them
