In the aftermath of President-Elect Donald Trump's historic blowout win over Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat Party and its sock puppets in the media remain unable to grasp not only the magnitude of Trump's across-the-board win, but even more astonishing, they fundamentally don't understand why it happened.

That is profound — to the objective among us, that is. 

So needless to say, the finger-pointing — often bitter — has been totally entertaining to conservatives across the fruited plain. 

One recent example comes to us from Biden biographer and Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer, who wrote a searing indictment of Biden and his presidency, following Harris' border-to-border beatdown. 

Foer, who wrote the 2023 book "The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden's White House and the Struggle for America's Future," argued that the lame-duck president is to blame for Harris' loss, arguing that it's going to be Biden's "legacy."

Here's Foer, Thursday (emphasis, mine):

Earlier this fall, one of Joe Biden’s closest aides felt compelled to tell the president a hard truth about Kamala Harris’s run for the presidency: “You have more to lose than she does.” And now he’s lost it. Joe Biden cannot escape the fact that his four years in office paved the way for the return of Donald Trump. This is his legacy. Everything else is an asterisk.

Hang on. The four destructive years of Biden's failed presidency will still be reality, even if Harris had won. Seems to me Foer wants it both ways.

Besides, while part of Biden's legacy will be Kamala's historic loss, a larger part of his legacy can be summed up in three words: Illegal aliens, Bidenomics. Everything that comes after those three words, with the exception of Biden's Afghanistan debacle, pales in comparison.

Foer reached out to Biden's inner circle for their postmortems of the campaign.

In the hours after Harris’s defeat, I called and texted members of Biden’s inner circle to hear their postmortems of the campaign. They sounded as deflated as the rest of the Democratic elite. They also had a worry of their own: Members of Biden’s clan continue to stoke the delusion that its paterfamilias would have won the election, and some of his advisers feared that he might publicly voice that deeply misguided view.

Although the Biden advisers I spoke with were reluctant to say anything negative about Harris as a candidate, they did level critiques of her campaign, based on the months they’d spent strategizing in anticipation of the election. Embedded in their autopsies was their own unstated faith that they could have done better.

It's hard to imagine that the Democrat Party could've done worse than Kamala Harris. 

And to make it even worse, Harris chose screwball Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Toss in her inability to construct an intelligible sentence, much less a cogent argument for her radical leftist policies, and the eventual outcome of the election was all but assured.

Foer concluded with his belief that Biden’s legacy will even suffer his successes being destroyed.

Huh? What successes? Of consequence, I mean.

Biden helped build the foundations for economic growth, with the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS Act, and the infrastructure bill. Because the investments enabled by all three of those bills will take years to bear fruit, Biden never had the chance to reap the harvest.

Despite Trump’s opposition to those pieces of legislation, the benefits of those bills could bolster his presidency. Biden will have passed along his most substantive legacy as a gift to his successor.

Again, huh? Gas prices soared, grocery prices continued to rise. Hardworking Americans found it harder and harder to make ends meet. 

The Bottom Line

In the final week of the 1980 presidential campaign between Democratic President Jimmy Carter and Republican nominee Ronald Reagan, the two candidates held their only debate. Reagan posed what has become one of the most important campaign questions of all time: 

Are you better off today than you were four years ago?

Donald Trump asked the same question. America responded in force on November 5.
