1) That's a wild guess, based on what exactly?
2) True, but how to fix?
3) Possibly, but no other realistic candidate performed better in match-up polls with Trump. Harris should still probably have pointed out what she would do different.
4) Mostly true.
5) Not too fast, the counting isn't over yet. Trump has not won any state the polls didn't predict he would likely win or have a very strong chance of winning. Georgia polling was pretty much spot-on, he was underrestimated in North Carolina, rust-belt numbers will tighten as the remaining democratic-leaning areas are counted. Harris might even win Michigan, while Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are well within the margin of error. Arizona and Nevada are also not called yet. Blue states have a lot of counting left, so Harris may still win popular vote.
6) They got it wrong in 2016, but yes there is some reason behind it.
7) See 5), it is gonna be a clear win electorally, but not a landslide. A landlide would be winning Minnesota, Virginia, New Hampshire, Nebraska second district.
Non of these points relates to the main issue though, which is that the MAGA-movement is a fundamentally dishonest political movement which does not operate according to the same political rules and standards as normal political associations. Fingers will be pointed at the left when a political issue isn't solved, but the same people won't bat an eye when MAGA fumbles the same issue. Harris has to be flawless, Trump gets to be lawless.
