MAUREEN CALLAHAN: Michelle Obama just dropped a clue about who will win the election. Simply follow the plain-spoken truth...

Tight arsenic nan polls are, it feels for illustration Donald Trump will win.

After all, why other would nan left-wing media telephone him Hitler?

Why other would MSNBC shamelessly intersperse footage of nan 1939 Nazi rally astatine Madison Square Garden pinch Trump's Sunday MSG event, overflowing pinch mediate and working-class voters — successful effect, calling those voters Nazis?

Why other would nan New York Times plaster nan beforehand page of its Sunday op-ed conception pinch immense artifact type, font size different reserved for nan outbreak of world wars, to what Trump will do if he wins — including 'USE SOLDIERS AGAINST CITIZENS'?

Not to mention nan furor complete nan refusal by some nan L.A. Times and Washington Post (owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos) to endorse either candidate, which sent nan near into a tizzy of canceled subscriptions and social-media virtue-signaling.

Author Stephen King: 'After 5 years, I person cancelled my subscription to nan Washington Post' — a connection King posted connected X, which happens to beryllium owned by different Trump-supporting billionaire. The near can't triumph for trying.

Yes, moreover WaPo — its none-too-subtle motto 'Democracy Dies successful Darkness' calved aft Trump's 2016 triumph — has possibly rethought nan stakes.

What does it opportunity erstwhile 2 of America's largest left-leaning newspapers can't, aliases won't, endorse Kamala Harris complete Trump? A man we are told is an irredeemable racist, sexist, xenophobe who poses a threat dissimilar immoderate we person ever confronted?

Here's precisely what it says: Billionaire businessmen cognize a loser erstwhile they spot one.

This weekend, Harris was nan taxable of a lengthy New York Times profile, informed by 100 friends and colleagues who besides seemed incapable of offering a full-throated endorsement. In particular, they noted that 'she was not a talented student' successful rule school, and that her 2019 statesmanlike tally 'revealed a personification for whom… authorities did not travel naturally. She struggled to specify herself ideologically.'

As she still does, a struggle that's excruciating to watch. But of course, this NYT piece, 'The World According to Kamala Harris', based on that arsenic a female of color, everything has been harder for Kamala Harris.

Excuse me? Let's get real: Identity authorities mightiness beryllium nan only logic this unimpressive, unintellectual Queen of Word Salad has risen acold supra her capabilities to perchance go president of nan United States.

As Kamala would say: Let's understand really we sewage here.

During a 2020 statesmanlike debate, Joe Biden sewage backed into promising a female moving mate, and Harris — who had each but called Biden a racist during her ain grounded run — was correct there, consenting to forgive and forget, if not admit that she ne'er believed what she'd said successful nan first place.

Jill Biden has reportedly ne'er forgiven her. Does anyone really deliberation that she and Joe, still smarting complete his forced ouster, want Harris to win?

The Bidens, nan billionaire people and logical voters everyplace each cognize that Trump isn't going to unleash nan subject connected U.S. citizens, aliases 'be a dictator connected time one', aliases prosecute his governmental enemies.

Hell — Trump moreover said he'd see pardoning Hunter Biden if elected!

'I wouldn't return it disconnected nan books,' Trump told power big Hugh Hewitt past week. 'Unlike Joe Biden, contempt what they've done to me, wherever they've gone aft maine truthful viciously… I hap to deliberation it's very bad for our country.'

Look astatine that. If only nan left-leaning media would amplify that message. Instead, we sewage Michelle Obama stumping for Harris complete nan weekend, remonstrating nan crowd overmuch arsenic her hubby has been unsuccessfully doing to achromatic antheral voters.

'I dream you'll forgive me', Michelle said successful Kalamazoo, Michigan connected Saturday, 'if I'm a small disappointment that immoderate of america are choosing to disregard Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle america astatine each turn.'

Dazzle us? At this point, we're conscionable looking for a coherent, circumstantial reply to immoderate question. Just one.

But successful Michelle's telling, voters who are concerned astir nan separator crisis, rising crime, nan affordable lodging shortage, and a Middle East connected occurrence conscionable request to little their expectations.

'We prime isolated Kamala's answers from interviews that [Trump] doesn't moreover person nan courageousness to do,' she continued.

Please. Trump sat down for 3 hours pinch Joe Rogan past week, an quality that has already racked up complete 34 cardinal views connected YouTube alone. And this billionaire said nan lingua franca of his working-class supporters: MMA fighters, what he learned astir UFOs, and his sheer awe astatine moving into nan White House and opinionated successful nan Lincoln bedroom.

Trump besides noted that, dissimilar Harris, he tin speak discursively earlier circling backmost to his first thought — what he calls 'the weave'.

The vice president, he said, 'couldn't put 2 sentences together'.

That is immoderate plain-spoken truth. It surely lands amended than panic cries of fascism.

Harris has an unfastened induce to do Rogan's show — but she won't, because she can't speak that for long, that extemporaneously, and everyone knows it.

She didn't person nan courage to show up astatine nan Al Smith kindness meal earlier this month, arsenic statesmanlike candidates of each statement (save Walter Mondale successful 1984) historically person done. Even Trump and Hillary appeared together successful 2016 — and that was astatine nan tallness of 'lock her up!'

This year, comedian and big Jim Gaffigan said for nan pols and powerfulness brokers successful that room.

'Why is Vice President Harris not here? I mean… this is simply a room afloat of Catholics and Jews successful New York City. This is simply a layup for nan Democratic nominee'.

Even Kamala's ain events aren't astir her anymore. Last week's run headlines were dominated by Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé, who yet appeared astatine a rally to endorse but did not execute – again.

Have we heard thing caller — anything? — from Kamala herself? Or thing that sounds honest? She has ne'er really answered to what she knew and erstwhile astir President Biden's cognitive decline.

Nor could she reply a elemental question, astatine CNN's municipality hallway past week, astir nan 1 portion of dream authorities she'd emotion to pass.

To nan poli-sci professor named Carol who had dared to ask, we sewage this: 'Well, there's not conscionable one. I person to beryllium honorable pinch you, Carol. Um, there's a batch of activity that needs to hap but let's, let's — I deliberation that possibly portion of this, nan constituent that I — really I deliberation astir it is, we've sewage to get past this era of authorities and partisan authorities slowing down what we request to do successful position of advancement successful our country.'

Yet, per nan Obamas, nan responsibility is ours for not abiding this inanity.

And, of course, Kamala has not been asked erstwhile astir her husband, Doug, whose ex-girlfriend has accused him of slapping her successful nan look truthful difficult she spun astir — successful public, extracurricular an A-list gala — and of impregnating nan nanny during his first marriage.

Instead, Harris gets to return, complete and complete again, to her assertion that she is simply a protector of girls and women, a declare overmuch of nan mainstream media happily promotes.

Truly, this is an predetermination betwixt nan out-of-touch elites and nan everyman – but only 1 is speaking clearly.
