‘They don’t have a lot of time’: Victor Davis Hanson warns how GOP could lose to Harris
August 2, 2024 | Hailey Gomez

Hoover Institute senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson warned Friday on Fox Business how the Republican Party could potentially lose to Vice President Kamala Harris this November.

Hanson appeared on “The Bottom Line” to discuss Harris’ policies and if former President Donald Trump has the ability to beat her as the race draws closer. The senior fellow stated that while Harris‘ “radical” policy beliefs can benefit Trump, their team needs to focus on them warning they can’t be sidetracked by “ethnic background or cackling.”

Fox Business co-host Dagen McDowell began by asking Hanson if he believed the former president would be able to “Dukakis” Harris, referring to the 1988 election where former President George W. Bush ended up winning despite his opponent, former Democratic presidential nominee Mike Dukakis being ahead in the polls.

“That’s going to be the central issue of the campaign. Because on the one hand, they don’t have one or two years, they only have 90 days and she’s not going to be allowed, as was Biden not allowed in 2022, to do anything other than teleprompted set speeches in front of receptive audiences,” Hanson said. “They don’t have time to go down all of these cul-de-sacs about ethnic background or cackling, all that. They got to get right to the point and that’s to draw out on all these things they said.”

“The good news she’s never in her life spoke to an oppositional audience. She ran for state office in California, she ran for office in the Bay Area, she had aborted a brief primary candidacy in front of left-wing audiences. In all of those cases, her aim was to be the furthest left on the stage in a left-wing environment,” Hanson continued. “It’s not that she said all these things, she emphatically said them, she doubled down on them [and] she stressed that she was a radical. They’re all over the last 20 years in the record.”

Hanson continued to call out what Trump’s team is going to have to do in the race as he highlighted Harris’ “word salad” last night during an interview with reporters.

We deserve the consequences if people are so easily tricked into believing Harris is anything other than a radical leftist.
We have a beach head. Now it's time to win the war and save the Republic.

In his Captian Obvious routine, there's a 50/50 comes up with a gem.  He got this time. 

As each day passes, I am alarmed that I have seen the biggest momentum swing, in watching POTUS elections.  After July 14th, and the convention, all conventional wisdom would have this sealed up. 

But now since we live in this rapid fire news cycle enviornment, these things are turning on a dime.  To add to Hanson's POV, I also can see the dims taking down Harris to the basement like they did with Biden.  She concienvably could have only 1 or 2 events (debates), where she yields to any negative questioning about her past, her record, and her complicity in making the White House...  Weekend at Joeys..

So, at this exact moment, I have this thing 50/50, and alot bearing on how DJT can manuever the insults, into highlight Harris' record.  And to those who rightfully don't trust polls......  Many think that the best barometer of the race and Vegas Odds....   After the shooting, Trump's probability was at 68%.  Today it is 50%, and still dropping

She is reforming the Obama coalition. And pretty quickly. If she can get that coalition to come out to the polls with the same enthusiasm as they did in 2008 and 2012, she will win


Forget issues. That coalition votes on  identity
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.
