Let us review what we learned:

1) Liberals have terrible strategy and implementation

2) Liberals do not connect with middle America

3) Running an administration, or someone tied to it, with a 60% disapproval rating was stupid

4) Special interest doesn't resonant, big-ticket items such as economy and border matter

5) Polls do in fact underestimate Trump

6) Betting Firms are trustworthy and know their stuff

I think that covers it. Anybody who wants to know who said what, can re-read the thread. Otherwise, enjoy the rest of your day.

Edit

Oh and I forgot the add number 7:

7) This wasn't a tight election, Trump won with ease (e.g. plenty of room to spare)

8) Republicans are okay with a xenophobic felon as long as he promises them unattainable economic strategies and that he'll deport all the illegals. 

But Harris didn't connect with middle America*

*Doesn't elaborate on what she could have done, ignores what she did do, ignores that Trump didn't even try either.

I swear a huge portion of Harris campaign was about the economy and how she will improve things. There was next to no "LGBTQ" stuff in Harris campaign, there was nothing about her "being a woman" either. They spoke about the border, maybe too late, but what should Harris have said then with it being too late? We'll round up the immigrants and execute them? Her border policy already moved notably to the right and Trump's immigrant rhetoric was extremist.

Only thing I can really get behind is that they should have ran someone different like Shapiro, disconnected from the Biden admin.

3) Running an administration, or someone tied to it, with a 60% disapproval rating was stupid

This also applies to Pete...Who rightly or wrongly, has also received a lot of criticism in his Transportation Secretary role, I haven't delved into the specifics to determine whether the criticism is justified but even I saw it over the years and as evidenced by this election, it wouldn't have mattered if it was Pete's fault or not, as long as they can say "Hey, Pete was Transport Sect when this happened, bad Pete"
