It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the Democratic Party. Heading into Election Day, they were confident that Kamala Harris would handily defeat Donald Trump in the presidential race.
Instead, Trump ended up demolishing Harris not only in the Electoral College but also in the popular vote. In the weeks since then, Democrats everywhere have been desperately trying to figure out what went wrong.
On Monday morning, Bill Clinton sat down with Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough. Clinton shamelessly used this interview to whine about Harris’ loss and to reveal the bizarre reason that he now feels it was “impossible” for her to win.
From Fox News:
“Vice President Harris had an almost impossible job because she became a candidate at a time when no one else could legally access the money that had already been given to Joe Biden and there was no time to have primaries. So she was, in effect, a stranger to people,” Clinton told MSNBC.“The people knew what they liked about Trump and what they didn’t, and about 54% of them were, would have happily voted for somebody else, but people didn’t feel they knew about Harris,” Clinton added.
Clinton argued that Democrats needed to talk to one another more and stop playing “demographic games.” Clinton attributed Trump’s victory during the MSNBC interview to voters believing that the president-elect was “economically successful” before COVID-19 hit.
Contrary to what Clinton said here, however, Americans did know quite a bit about Harris by Election Day. The problem was that we didn’t like what we saw.
Life In Biden-Harris’ America
Over the past four years, the American people got to know Harris quite well as Joe Biden’s vice president. Indeed, American voters watched Biden and Harris spend four years running this country into the ground.
In Biden-Harris’ America, the economy went to shambles, and inflation skyrocketed. Millions of illegal aliens flooded into this country thanks to their lax border policies. Meanwhile, millions of real American citizens were left struggling just to put food on the table.
Despite Clinton’s claims, Americans did, in fact, know far more about Harris’ leadership abilities (or lack thereof) than the vast majority of us ever wanted to. She was no “stranger” to the American people. Instead, Harris was someone who most voters knew should never be in the White House.
For someone who now says it was “impossible” for Harris to win from the beginning, Clinton sure spent a lot of time campaigning for her. Indeed, he spent much of the final weeks of the race traveling the country stumping for Harris. One would think that if Clinton had thought this was a losing battle, he wouldn’t have wasted his time doing this.
“She is smart enough to be president, she is strong enough to be president, and she learns with remarkable speed,” Clinton said of Harris during a campaign stop days before Election Day. “And she listens to people that don’t agree with her.”
The reality is that, like most members of the liberal elite, Clinton was positive that Harris would defeat Trump. Instead of admitting that he no longer has his finger on the pulse of what the average American wants or needs, Clinton is now trying to rewrite history by claiming that he knew all along that Harris never had a chance.
In the end, this is just another example of a Clinton being dishonest. Some things never change!
