I love watching rich people tell normal people that everything is great.

[Swizzle]

Interesting that CNN doesn’t offer any accountability here.

[mshahabakmal]

very balanced but no mention of the epic failure of tv news media?

[SteveJ-oo]

Running a campaign pretty much only on abortion. Was a huge mistake.

The best economy is not benefitting the majority. It’s that simple.

Democrat ACCOUNTABILITY is not in CNN's dictionary

[samnous]

Claiming that the US economy is doing better than other Western economies, even if true, clouds the fact that the average quality of life in the US has been significantly lower than that of other Western countries. People vote based on their daily experiences, not on mere statistics.

1-Economy
2-Focusing on things that didn't benefit the vast majority of people
3-Border
4-Pretending that there was nothing wrong with Biden when everyone and Stevie Wonder could see the truth.

People are tired of being told everything is fine when it's not fine. Society needs leaders, not idealists.

The Trump-Biden debate was a turning point for many voters. It questioned the credibility of Democratic leaders.
(1)How could they not know Biden’s mental decline? Who’s running the country?
(2)Why did they not inform the country? If Democratic leaders, particularly Harris, concealed Biden’s mental decline what else are they willing to do to obtain power and hold on to it?
Lost of credibility and trust are difficult to reverse.

Oh so NOW you figure out these things ?
Suddenly ?
Common people have been saying these things FOR MONTHS 😂

[jollofchief]

This is the most clear sighted segment CNN has had in years. IM IMPRESSED!

[AutumnS]

my heart dropped when harris was the nominee. SHE HAS NEVER BEEN POPULAR. WHAT ARE THE DEMOCRATS THINKING?!!

[Patrick-gxuv]

Kevin Oleary was right. He argued that NY AG going after Trump on the Stormy Daniel hush money case was going to backfire and put Trump back on the political map. And boy, it sure as hell did

[thunderflight]

You were able to limit it to 3 mistakes???

[Evemeister]

The problem is that economic growth in the USA isn't reflected in the economic fortunes of the bulk of its population. Money disproportionately filters up to the already wealthy minority of the country. Neither Republican or Democrat parties want to change from this status quo. So the political differences boil down to cultural and social issues, and the Republicans have proven to be stronger on those fronts this time around.

[elisabethgerni]

Booo, don't make any excuses for that loser. She never was presidential material . She was selected

[adamglive-lr]

Watch this guy get fired from CNN for speaking the truth

[davidnissen]

Democrat party members told the party they didn't want Kamala in 2020. Then the party told the members they were getting Kamala in 2024. Then they lost. How hard is this to understand? Why are people trying to come up with any other reason?

[jeannieglickson]

I hold Biden responsible for the loss. If he had decided not to seek re-election, the Democrats could have had a real primary and selected a truly deserving candidate
