WHY ISN’T HARRIS WINNING BY A LOT? It’s been more than a week since the Harris-Trump presidential debate, and Thursday saw a spate of post-debate polls on the state of the race. The short version is, nationally and in the key swing states, it’s pretty much tied.

And that leads to the question: Why isn’t Vice President Kamala Harris leading? The entire Democratic Party, plus its allies in the larger political world and in the legal system, plus the entertainment industry, plus much of the media — haven’t they thrown everything they have at former President Donald Trump? With all that firepower, how is Trump still standing, let alone tied with Harris? More pointedly, why isn’t Harris winning by a big margin?

The last three polls in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls have Trump and Harris tied (New York Times), Harris up by 2 points (Fox News), and Trump up by 2 (Rasmussen). The seven key states look like this, from the RealClearPolitics average: North Carolina, Trump +0.1; Nevada, Harris +0.2; Pennsylvania, Harris +1.0; Wisconsin, Harris +1.2; Arizona, Trump +1.6; and Michigan, Harris +1.7.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Because they are setting the point spread for the steal, and waaaay oversampling Democrats.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Because a) we have been split right down the middle since 2000, rife for civil war, b) Kamel isn’t exciting enough, c) her presence in the race was very sudden and unnerving, d) Trump has a huge following who will absolutely not drop him.
