Rosie can't understand how Trump was elected

Valletta · Mar 23, 2025

“I would hope that would be investigated and that we would see whether or not it was an anomaly or something else that happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people who supported her and Donald Trump was not able to do that,” O’Donnell said. “So it’s curious to me, and as an American and a believer in democracy, I would hope that we would be able to look at all of the reasons why this happened in our country.”

Rosie O’Donnell Questions ‘Why’ Donald Trump Won Every Swing State Considering He Is ‘Best Friends’ With a ‘Man Who Owns and Runs the Internet’: ‘I Would Hope That Would Be Investigated’

If you believe the major media then this is a reasonable reaction.

He won every swing state because he was more popular than Harris.

Duh.

If you want Harris to win, try harder to influence people to get to like her.

Wait, maybe get somebody else to do that.

That's only trivially true. Trump's popularity was superficial. He narrowly won by swaying narrowly targeted low-information voters in swing states, many of whom immediately regretted their decision once he imposed tariffs.

The GOP simply doesn't have the mandate it thinks it does.

I not sure why anyone elected Trump. Either. Mentally, I put Trump in the same category as Kanye West. But Trump should be in prison for breaking laws. Especially his part in January 6th.

$288 million from Musk didn't buy the election. That's only a fraction of what was donated by all sources to both the Harris and Trump campaigns.

There was that and also that Trump reached a much wider audience by doing numerous extensive interviews on multiple platforms.

He’s also been campaigning nonstop since at least 2016.

Voters need to look at facts and assume what he says--based on his history--are not factual.
Biden had an extraordinary record of accomplishment. The economy soared. He got hit with global inflation--but we recovered more quickly. His efforts for comprehensive immigration reform were derailed by Republicans.
Historians placed him at about #12 of 46.
And yet voters believed lies.
When I looked at someone whose historical position as worst of the worst will be safe for centuries to come managing to successfully trash Biden I couldn't believe it.
A glib disinformation campaign hoodwinked voters.

Just show how entrenched she is in tribal warfare I also understand that the rich are out of touch with American serfs. So O'Donnell, The View, and all other liberal movie stars can live in their bubble in Hollywood. It's the economy stupid along with immigration.

I wonder if there’s some relation between those two things.

My point was that her campaign had only 100 days to introduce her to the voters while Trump has been omnipresent in politics for a decade now. That she got as many votes as she did speaks to just how evenly split the country is on Trump.

Poor Rosie, Trump seems to be her only means of getting attention.

Yes, When the old Democrat turned Republican to run for president the left became unhinged and made up stories about him and name-calling for 8 years straight. Dude, you are making excuses for a poor candidate and 100 days was enough to provide information about her policy flip flop which alienated some of her voters.

You do know that Harris outraised Trump by nearly 5-to-1, right?

I'm pretty convinced that the truncated time-table benefitted Harris. If she had more time to campaign, I think she would have done even worse. Anyone who was "not Trump" was going to make it close.

Sounds like election denial.

It wasn’t Musk and his money but here are some of the reasons why Democrats lost:

They did not educate the public that the president cannot control inflation, and acknowledged that inflation is a real issue. They downplayed its significance too much.
President Biden should have considered stepping down in early 2024 due to cognitive decline.
The Democratic Party should have held primaries, allowing American citizens to vote for their preferred DNC nominee.
The DNC should never have accepted Harris as their nominee without any votes being cast.

Democrats cannot expect to win in a democracy without following a democratic process to nominate their candidate. To understand why the Democrats lost, one should consider President Biden’s decision to remain in the race, which prevented others from running for the DNC nomination. This decision may have affected the Democrats’ chances.

If you want to blame someone, consider the remarks made by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who referred to President Biden as "Genocide Joe" and expressed that she would not vote for Kamala Harris. Additionally, some youth voters opted to stay home rather than vote for Kamala the warmonger.

Yes! I can't imagine how many interviews she would have avoided because she would have had to explain the flip-flop eventually.

It doesn't matter how many votes President Trump received. Whether a narrow victory or a landslide like Reagan, he is the president with Congress on his side.

He on the other hand has been a perfect angel that whole time.

Not at all, she was a poor candidate but I’m saying what she was up against has been a nonstop campaign since before he ever became president. Trump has been building his influence for a long time while she was thrown into the middle of a presidential race that was not actually her election to begin with. Again, not making excuses for her poor use of her time or the problems within the party that put her there but you can’t deny that Trump had a huge advantage in getting his message out and seizing the narrative throughout the election.
