Teflon Don
I'm back baby
and why it was devastating to the Harris campaign
It is actually very simple. It isn't like when the unemployment rate is 8% and it only impacts part of society. While that can be devastating, not everyone is impacted. Inflation on the other hand impacts EVERYONE. Doesn't matter who you are. And leftists saying "Well, inflation is now down from 9% to 2.4%" while correct completely misses the point. Yes the rate of growth is down, but prices are STILL HIGH. People are still feeling it.
Inflation is a killer for an incumbent, just ask Jimmah Carter, who by the way must be pissed that they kept him alive for this.
What is really sad is that the friendly View gave Harris an out with a softball question when they asked her what she would do differently, sure I know that people think that it shows weakness by saying you would have done something different. Or maybe she would have been accused of showing disloyalty, but had she created distance between herself and Biden on that one issue, she might have had a chance. But, she dug in and it cost her the White House.
