The failures of the Barack Obama era will be the primary reason Donald Trump is re-elected to the White House. "The rising tide didn't lift all ships." Kamala Harris can't ride the coattails of consolidating the Negro voter with a similar fervor as Obama did in 2008. The Obama voter knows exactly who Kamala is and she's not like them. She doesn't have 306 Electoral Votes.

Post-presidential announcement, Democratic National Convention, and Post Debate, Kamala Harris received no significant bump in her polling. In fact, polls suggest most voters are still trying to figure out who she is. Who would these voters be?

They couldn't be Negro women or women in general if Kamala is the first woman of color to be the vice president of the United States. It couldn't be Negro men, or any man if he's a voter. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris received the most votes in American history with 81 million in 2020. How did Kamala Harris disappea
r to reappear, then emerge as the Democrat nominee for President while being a known/unknown?

It may be inconvenient but all polls have consistently demonstrated Trump getting between 15 and 22% of the Negro voter. That would be the highest percentage of any modern Republican. This could emerge as a permanent loss from the traditional Democrat coalition of the last 85 years.

College-educated Negro women and men will vote for Kamala in the highest percentages, and that's not enough. Working-class Negros are keenly aware that white liberals will benefit the most from a 4th Obama presidency. No matter how much Kamala talks about cleaning her turnips or mustard Greens in a tub or seasoning them with bacon fat--working-class Negro voters can't afford to eat them.

This suggests Kamala will win the popular vote and Trump will win the electoral college. Urban voters in swing states will be swung by the illegal immigration issue and a bad economy. These are matters they lack tru
st in Kamala Harris on. Abortion isn't their primary concern. Urban Negro women love their babies even if they don't love the baby daddy. College-educated Negro women and non-college-educated Negro women are 180 degrees apart on abortion. If it weren't for non-college-educated Negro women the Negros would have declining birthrates.

Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala is also a slap in the face to the intelligence of working-class Negro women. How does being a Swifty impact their ability to pay rent, put food on the table
