Curious, honest question for everyone: What do both sides here think were the key drivers?

Her one job, the border, was a miserable failure.

She knows less about business/the economy than a fifth-grader. Never appeared on CNBC; only smiled on SNL.

The vote was a total rejection of radical liberalism: defunding police; over regulation; WAAAY overspending on pet programs, ballooning deficits; DEI; open border; Wokism; raising taxes just to spend more; inflation etc

The world needs a strong US leader to face the most dangerous geo-political landscape since WWII...it's certainly not Kamala.

Now we got a lot of work to do to clean up a lot of shite.

It's the voters fault, not the candidate. Way to keep beating the race and gender drum.

People are unhappy about the high prices of everything. It showed by the voting last night where people overlooked Trump’s many flaws.

-Trump’s team ran a very effective campaign. They focused on areas of great pain to the American public.

-Immigration/border issues was a big problem for the Dems. Their “half-handed” attempt at a bi-partisan immigration bill was the beginning of the end.

-the economy also played a major role. Inflation drove a lot of blue collar workers to Trump. We shall see if his tariff strategy helps or hurts the American public.

In regards to the economy, it is very strong. Prices are high, but there’s nothing Trump is going to be able to do (felt the same way about Kamala).

Oil is also at an all-time high and it hasn’t made a change on prices. It will be interesting to see what immigration reform will be put forward by the Rs.

I also think a key driver was kackling Kamala attacking Djt24 too much, many lies
She also replied on abortion too much the SC having already decided

What we saw the last four years was just a pile of shit.

1. The candidate was not competent. She had no record of achievement as VP
2. Word Salads.
3. The Hitlerization of Trump combined with End Of The World rhetoric.

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.
“Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”
The dialogue above is from Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel, The Sun Also Rises.

In 2022 the full pain of inflation had not yet been felt. It certainly didn't help that the dems passed a bill called "The Inflation Reduction Act" that did no such thing. (gaslighting) It didn't help that people struggling financially got to see millionaires and billionaires up on the stage in Chicago telling them to feel the joy.

The import of a Venezuelan prison gang is something that working class voters could see and feel in their communities. The dems gaslighting doublespeak for 4 years that the border is secure and that it if wasn't that it was Trump's fault not only didn't work, it was outright offensive to voters. Many people support legal immigration, they don't support this bullshit where people enter the country illegally and are given housing, food, a phone, a little spending money, etc.

Gas prices are high, McDonald’s prices are high, pizza prices are high, 7-11 prices are high

And they ran a poor campaign starting with Biden hanging on too long, her getting handed the nomination with no vote, her very poor communication skills, and her constant negativity.

Trump has a hell of a lot of faults but he is good for the country. As a retiree he is good for my wife and I. He is good for our relationship with Israel. He will once again
Emphasize peace through strength. I can’t wait till he purges the illegal aliens. This is going to be fun to watch.
