‘Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
This quote by Mark Twain… or Abraham Lincoln — it’s still unclear as to who said it — is not advice that Democrats thought to take, because the more they opened their mouths during the DNC, the more people seemed to sour on them.
While it was always inevitable that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz would suffer what I call the “Disney dip” or what others are calling the “sugar high,” it would appear the DNC sped the collapse.

According to the website Polymath, the largest website that deals with betting on everything, including presidential elections, as the DNC went on, gamblers began to put more stock into Trump winning and Harris losing. In fact, before the DNC, Harris was favored to win at 54 percent and Trump only at 44 percent. By the end of the third night, Trump was favored at 53 percent and Harris was at 46 percent.

Again, this was all likely to even out at some point, but the DNC is meant to hype up candidates and reinforce them to the people, yet for some reason, the DNC just left a bad taste in too many mouths.
Of course, none of that should be surprising. Harris is currently in the White House and is promising to solve problems that she could start solving right now. Moreover, there was a lot of talk about the border last night and how Harris has been fantastic on it when anyone with two brain cells to rub together can know that was a massive lie.
Moreover, for all the “joy” and “unity” there was at the DNC, there sure was a lot of backstabbing, lying, and weirdness overall. As Becky Noble reported, there were 30 delegates who were “uncommitted” to Harris as a protest over Palestine.
One thing that haunts the Democrat Party is that they’ve been in charge for over a decade, and yet they have no answer as to why the country is in bad shape except to blame Trump who was only in charge for four of the last 16 years. This fact was brought up by CNN’s Scott Jennings, who stunned his fellow CNN panelists into silence over the fact and noted that with all the time Democrats have to speak, no one is accounting for this.

Rest assured, even if the Democrats are avoiding asking themselves the question, the American people aren’t. They probably ask it every time they receive a bill, fill up at the pump, and check out at the grocery aisle.
If I was a betting man, I’d put my money on Trump too, as the DNC showed America that they aren’t a serious party and Kamala Harris is far from being a serious candidate.
