‘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.
