Democrats are now in that phase of the campaign where they’re losing their minds because things are not looking great. They’re throwing everything up against the wall and it’s only getting worse. Now the blame-throwing is coming out.
We reported on how former President Barack Obama had a bit of a hissy fit at black men for not being supportive enough of Kamala Harris. He then appeared to blame them for being sexist.
That didn’t go over well with black men or folks like former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner, who blasted Obama for trying to lecture people who have the right to make their own free choice for whom to vote.

Now, CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten explains that it’s even worse for Harris than Obama indicated.
First, he explains how strongly Trump is running with young black men. He showed the trend line for black men aged 18-44 from Obama to Kamala Harris.
No matter how you splice the data, Trump seems to be the strongest Republican with Black voters since 1960. Young Black men in particular have trended right during Trump’s runs (cutting the Dem margin by 40 pts from 2012).

Obama had been up 81 points, Hillary Clinton 63 points, Joe Biden 53 points, all the way down to Kamala Harris at only 41 points ahead — a drop of 40 points since 2012.
It’s not just a “Kamala Harris-specific problem,” Enten explained, but a long-term trend away from the Democrats. Which means they’re not just rejecting her on the basis of her empty-headedness, they’re seeing that in general the Democrats aren’t working for them and they’re moving to Trump. He said it was the best performance for a Republican and the worst performance for a Democrat with young black men since 1960 when Democrat John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Republican Richard Nixon.
But there was also a problem with black men in general, although not as pronounced. Harris is putting in “historically weak performance for a Democrat,” he explained as that showed the same trend: Kamala losing 34 points since Obama, only being at 54 points.
On top of all that, Harris is even losing black women if you consider this same trend from Obama. Obama was up 93 points, Hillary was the same. Biden dropped off a bit to 85, but then Kamala has taken a dive to 71. So even with many black women, Kamala is hitting a wall, doing worse than any Democrats since 1960.
CNN’s data guru Harry Enten: “The bottom line is this.

“The bottom line is this. At this particular hour… Donald Trump’s going to put up the best performance with Black voters since Richard Nixon in 1960… Among Hispanic voters, Donald Trump’s going to put up the best performance for a Republican since 2004…”
Bottom line? People of all ages and races want the same things: peace and a good economy that enables them to be successful. They had that with Trump, but they don’t have it now with Kamala Harris — and they can tell the difference.
