Of the many, these stick out:
Harris got zero votes in 2020 because she has no natural constituency and isn’t good at campaigning. Why would things have been different this time?
Trump is what McCain wanted to be, a true maverick. Getting Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. onboard — dominating the crank vote without alienating mainstream Republicans — is remarkable.
Democrats have bungled governance, over and over. Last year we learned that California has apparently always been capable of making San Francisco a nice place to walk around, but only did so to impress President Xi. I am at least a little glad to see this way of doing things rebuked.
Trump is a dangerous, failing moron. It’s still very bad for him to have command of nuclear weapons. For me, this consideration dwarfs others because it puts everything at hazard.
Alienating Elon Musk was a bad call.
