Once again, the polls were wrong. It will be hard for them to regain any credibility in the future.
Agreed. The problem is, the same was said in prior elections. Yet, polls are like a car wreck. People (and the media) can't help looking at them, even if you know you should direct your eyes elsewhere. Due in no small part to the "science" the pollsters talk about, we expect the polls to be accurate. The truth may be they simply are making their best guesses and their science is garbage.

In spite of her decisive loss that was decided late last night, there has been no word from Harris to her supporters, no call to President- elect Trump or a concession speech to the public. Is she not accepting these election results that aren't even close? This not only shows her lack of class and grace, but is also disrespectful to her supporters who waited late into the the night expecting to hear from her. Just icing on the cake for a bad candidate who ran a bad campaign.

Like Trump not attending Biden's inauguration.
Not the same. She owed her supporters a statement of some sort to at least express appreciation for their support. Fortunately, Harris will soon fade away and even the Democrats will be glad to forget her. They spent over $1Billion on the worst candidate ever to run for the office. She underperformed Biden's 2020 results in every single county in the country (Source CNN). She wanted to turn the page and the country has accommodated her in spades.

You know that is the one thing that he promised that will happen, he said he was going to cut the price of fuel in half, and it will happen, when he tanks the economy, gas will be cheap, but people still wont be able to afford it, hope you are prepared for that.

12000 jobs created in Oct; the prediction was 113000.
And there is the root of the problem, the entire system is dependent on growth, most of the time there actually is no growth, its the executives manipulating the numbers to create the illusion of growth.

For an example of this one only needs to look back to 2020 and Peloton, when people were stuck at home, they ordered fitness equipment, anyone with a brain would have seen that was only a temporary spike because of the pandemic. But Peloton thought they could keep those sales numbers climbing even higher. Now the sales are back lower than what they were during the pandemic and they are screwed.

Well when the deportations start the price of food is going way up, be ready
No it won’t. Energy prices and other factors will be lower and help drive down costs. And yes, U.S. citizens will be able to do those jobs and see wages increase at the same time.

Are you or anyone you know going to go and work in the meat packaging plants for $10 an hour? I know Im not, even though after this is all said and done his policies will decimate the restaurant business here in south Florida, which will cost me my job.

Will Americans do the work for 20 to 30 an hour? Maybe, but when labor costs double or triple, what effect do you think that is going to have on the finished product?

In a good economy, the oil companies will never allow the price of gas to get under $2 a gallon, they are not going to sell gas at a loss, the closer it gets to that, the more fuel they will load on tankers to send to other countries to keep the inventories down here and the price up.

People will be making well over 10 dollars at meat packing plants. Just don’t hire illegal immigrants for such low wages.

One can only hope they make this happen.
Apparently it only takes one senator to grind the confirmation process down to a halt. Stepping down now would only open up the seat(and relinquish a consistent liberal vote ) to be filled by the incoming administration with another conservative justice.

Another Indicator Harris Will Win

In my entire lifetime, with just one exception, the most popular presidential candidate wins. Harris is five points more popular than Trump.
Rasmussen had Trump winning the popular vote by 2 points in polls before the election. Trump is leading in the popular vote tally and after all the votes are counted, current projections are that he’ll win by 1 to 2 points.
