What Makes America Great

November 7, 2024 By Debbie Young

Not Democrats’s Failed Policies

Congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance. Voters sent a loud and clear message to Harris/Walz: Do not shame us on your social issues. It is the economy, stupid, that makes America great.

Harris and her Obama-led campaign threw everything but the kitchen sink at voters: from shaming black men to threatening the loss of reproductive rights. Trump, they claimed was a fascist, and that was the good news.

Not so fast. Social issues aside, it turns out it was the kitchen table that mattered most. The place where loved ones have the hard talks to discuss their future. And hard they were.

As Victor Davis Hanson notes, Kamala Harris simply could not run on anything she had so emphatically promoted in the past—given these left-wing, unpopular, and failed policies had no majority support. Harris could no longer support “banning fracking, defunding police, opposing border security and the wall, or calling for mass amnesties and an end to the border patrol.”

Donald Trump struck a nerve with voters. Trump asked if they were better off under his first term or during Biden’s.

The American people won’t be lied to forever. (Voters) could see with their own eyes and smaller bank accounts how Bidenflation was giving away their lunch and costing a fortune to repair the kitchen sink (if they could find anyone willing to work).

It looks like a slew of new GOP senators could draft in behind Trump, giving the party a working majority in the upper chamber of Congress.

Donald Trump and JD Vance have work to do. They now need to show both sides of the aisle how to unite the country—another failed promise of the progressive Biden/Harris regime.

At NRO, Jim Geraghty perhaps said it best:

I counted yard signs in my neighborhood, and “ADT Home Security” is going to win in a landslide.
