ANOTHER VIEW: Why Kamala Harris lost the presidency in 2024

ANOTHER VIEW: Why Kamala Harris lost the presidency in 2024

By Jack Bernard | Kamala Harris is a progressive who knows the issues. She campaigned for the nomination in 2020 on those issues, pushing the progressive platform. She could have pulled back on items like single payer but put forth a specific, new more moderate agenda… even if it is not what she believes is needed per her “values.”

ANOTHER VIEW: Reasons that Trump won the presidency

By Jack Bernard  |  Now we learn that Trump did slightly better than he did in 2020, winning 49 percent of the popular vote. He got 76 million votes, two million more than in 2020. And Kamala Harris got 74 million votes. But Trump’s victory  was not a “landslide” or “mandate” as FOX hosts would have you believe. He triumphed in the entire south and almost every state in middle America.

BRACK: Totally flabbergasted as our nation elects Trump

By Elliott Brack  |  The word best to use is “flabbergasted.” Never did I think the American people would stoop so low as elect someone who campaigned on lies, distortion and outrageousness.

FOCUS: Standing up to pressure to keep elections honest

By Andy Brack | It’s the second day of a new year just after a presidential election  and you pick up the phone.  At one point, the guy on the other end of the line says, “All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes , which is one more that we have because we won the state.”
