Clueless Democrats are now making excuses for Kamala Harris’s resounding defeat rather than accept that the American people sent a dramatic message to reject the party’s failed far-left policies.

It wasn’t a global anti-incumbency wave that elected Donald Trump with a broad mandate. It wasn’t sexist and racist voters. It wasn’t that Harris didn’t have enough time to introduce herself. It wasn’t that she was saddled with Joe Biden’s record.

Democrats simply can’t fathom how they lost because they’ve become the party of elites, cut off from what ordinary working-class voters are thinking.

The polls and media were all wrong again because they have also become partisan elites incapable of detecting what’s going on in the country.

“Renowned” pollster J. Ann Selzer – that’s how the Des Moines Register refers to her – missed the winning result by a whopping 17 points.

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz.

Selzer’s final weekend poll had Harris ahead by 3 percentage points and caused Democrats and some in the media to predict the vice president might win in a landslide. She actually lost the Hawkeye State by 14 points.

“Throughout its 81 years, the mission of the Iowa poll has been to reflect the unvarnished opinions of Iowans, without pressure or interpretation from politicians, media and others,” Des Moines Register Executive Editor Carol Hunter said. “With rare exceptions, the final Iowa Poll before elections has tracked closely with the actual vote.”

Right. And this.

“I’ll be reviewing data from multiple sources with hopes of learning why that happened,” an embarrassed Selzer said Tuesday night. “And, I welcome what that process might teach me.”

No, you don’t. Seltzer and other pollsters are likely to learn nothing from Trump’s sweeping victory Tuesday night.

The former president won with a broad working-class coalition that included record numbers of Latino voters, young voters, even Black voters from a Republican candidate. Trump is on track to win the popular vote, the first time a Republican achieved that in the last 20 years.

Harris’s attempt to be hip – hanging out with Lady Gaga and Beyonce – failed miserably. Young voters especially flocked to Trump’s economic message.

The American people wanted big change. Seven in 10 voters said the country was headed in the wrong direction.

And despite predictions that the stock market would tank after a Trump victory the Dow actually soared to record highs Wednesday.

Trump won even with a biased mainstream media attacking him every day – yet another indication that the mainstream media is dead. No one believes them anymore.

The soon-to-be 47th president didn’t just eke out a narrow victory as the polls predicted, he likely will win easily once the final electoral votes are counted by sweeping all seven battleground states.

A shocked Harris could not even phone Trump to concede or appear publicly after the Associated Press, Fox News and other outlets called a Trump win – showing that Democrats not only ran a bad campaign but they’re sore losers. It wasn’t until hours later that she conceded.

Here’s the real message: If Democrats can’t beat a flawed, twice-impeached, convicted felon they won’t beat anyone anymore unless they dramatically reshape their message to appeal to middle America and male voters. They have four more painful years to figure that out.
