Well looky there. 

I said that nothing would surprise me about the 2024 presidential election and the ultimate results. For months. I meant it. And nothing did. But now, three weeks removed, something did surprise me.

California Democrat Senator-elect Adam Schiff trotted onto the set of NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday and engaged in a bit of reflection with host Kristen Welker about why Vice President Kamala Harris, along with multiple down-ballot Democrats, got thoroughly dismantled by President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican Party across the country. What came out of the usually serial-lying Democrat’s mouth was stupefying.

The fun began when Welker played a clip of Schiff on her show just one month prior to Election Day, when the smug Californian confidently predicted that Harris would win “overwhelmingly.” Oops.

The follow-up exchange began in typical Schiff fashion: deflection and obfuscation. In response to Welker’s actual journalistic question about what the Democrats got wrong, Schiff’s initial response was:

I think Joe Biden’s decision to step aside and pass the torch is the right decision. It gave us a chance to win, not a guarantee. I thought she could win. I thought she could win in all the battleground states.

With all (no) due respect, Adam, nonsense. 

Biden could’ve declared early on that he wouldn’t run for reelection, and if Harris had won the Democrat primaries (she wouldn’t have), the radical San Francisco leftist, who proved to be the worst presidential nominee in at least modern history, would have lost even worse. Besides, no Democrat presidential nominee would have dared to distance himself or herself from the radical left.

Next up, Schiff (wrongly) blamed “anti-incumbency” for Trump’s win. 

[The] anti-incumbent wave that took out both progressives and conservatives and our party became associated with the status quo.

Let’s fix that. “The anti-Biden-Harris wave took out Democrats in historic numbers.” There, much better.

Anyway, Schiff expounded on the anti-incumbency thingy — before shockingly beginning to get real.

That was too much to overcome. I think the principal issue is the economy. And over years and decades it has gotten more and more difficult for people working full-time to make a living. And until we resolve that challenge to the economy, we may find the presidency is easier to get than it is to keep.

Then hell began to freeze over when Schiff finally admitted (emphasis, mine):

Look, I think the entire Democratic Party bears the responsibility, myself included.

Whoa. Who’d a thunk it? Who was that guy, and what did he do with Adam Schiff?

Schiff’s miraculous metamorphosis (no doubt temporary) continued… as he actually complimented Trump on running a successful campaign. 

And the former president…they mounted an effective campaign. You have to give them credit for that. The challenge we have is we need to put forward a bold vision of how we’re going to move the economy forward, make the economy work for every American. To me, the existential question is if you, working hard in America, can you still earn a good living and too many people doubt that that’s possible.

Easier said than done, Adam. For the Democrat Party, that is. 

The Bottom Line

Here’s the thing. The self-declared “party of the working people” has for decades lied to hard-working Americans, particularly black Americans, sucked up to crooked union bosses, pandered to ultra-rich left-wing donors, and sucked up to Hollywood elites. 

Then it got worse.

Mainstream — dare I say “moderate”? — Democrats willingly allowed their party to be taken hostage by the far-left, including self-aggrandizing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and other members of the ridiculous “Squad,” the radical, no-longer-hallowed halls of academia, on-demand-abortion activists, and last, but certainly not least, the LGBT crowd — with a heavy emphasis on the “Ts” — distancing the Democrat Party further and further away from mainstream Americans and their values. 

Period.
