The Republican Party cannot blame the media's positive reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris for the downturn in their fortunes, wrote National Review executive editor Mark Antonio Wright.

    “Trump isn’t losing because Kamala Harris is being hyped by the press and fluffed up to kingdom come. He isn’t losing because the press is being unfair to him. He’s losing because he’s a weak, unpopular, undisciplined candidate running at the head of a weak, minority electoral coalition. That’s the truth, whether anyone wants to hear it or not,” Wright concluded.

    Damn. The National Review is not pulling its punches on Trump.

        All of that can be unfortunately explained away by MAGA. This hits them in the only place they care about, the ballot box.

      Yeah, but they’re also busy trashing Kamala too.

      “Is Harris an ideal candidate? Is she an incredibly talented orator? Is she deft on her feet and nimble in debate? Is she a famous wonk? Does she have a long track record of competence at the state and federal level? Has she been scrutinized by a tough no-nonsense press and come out stronger on the other side?” wrote Wright. “No, of course not — but she’s an alternative to Trump/Biden, and that’s probably going to be enough.”

        True, but that goes without saying. They will always put the Democrat candidate down, no matter how good or bad they are. As would the devoted liberal media always put down the GOP candidate.
