In 2016, I was living in Los Angeles. While I didn’t want Hillary Clinton to be our president, I was surrounded by people who didn’t share that opinion, people who thought it would be the end of the world if Donald Trump won, people who, to this day, repeat every lie the media has concocted about a man they don’t know. The TDS is strong with them.

I was invited to an election night party and I thought, “What the Hell? Why not?” I thought Clinton was going to win. I thought there was no way Donald Trump was going to beat the cheat machine the Democrats had in place.

As the numbers came in, standing in the back of an apartment by the table with the HILLARY 2016 cupcakes, I realized that Donald Trump was going to be the next president of the United States. It was a surreal moment. Like I was the only person in the room who could see the future. I wandered over to another partygoer who had his head in his hands. “She just lost,” I said.

He nodded.

“Welp, I’m going to get out of here before anyone else in the room realises that.” I was the only person there who would take any sort of pleasure in the outcome, and I didn’t want to be around for the ugly turn in the crowd.

Smash cut to 2024, where the people I’m in the room with on election night are the exact opposite. All of us at Crowder knew that Trump had to win. Like every election before it, this was the most important election of our lifetime. There was a change of clothes in my car. We were prepared for a long livestream, the promise that we wouldn’t stop streaming until it was over. We had our numbers. We made our calls.

And then it was over. A decisive victory. All the swing states. And now I could stay and celebrate with people who wanted this outcome instead of fearing an ugly turn, people who knew what this meant. A group that had been fighting to hold the line and get Trump back in office.

Back in 2017, I read Hillary’s What Happened, morbidly curious as to why she thought things fell apart. And, like then, I have now read Kamala Harris’s 107 Days to see who she credits with the train falling off the rails.

I went into 107 Days with grim determination because, at the very least, I know there’s a happy ending.

Each chapter in 107 Days is a day in the election, but that’s fine. It’s only about 300 pages and a quick read.

107 Days: 20 mentions of Howard University, 6 mentions of Project 2025, and a few dunks on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Harris can’t go 5 pages without mentioning a celebrity or how much money she raised, as if the winner of an election is the one with the most celebrity endorsements and money.

We get it, Kamala.

You know Oprah.

(I laughed a little when Harris claimed she preferred that Beyonce gave a speech instead of a concert because that seems unlikely.)

Just like with What Happened, there is no real introspection, only excuses. Harris doesn’t really expand on what her policies would have been, an issue that arose during the campaign itself. One thing she does mention early on was that she “wanted to create a Secretary of Culture to uplift the immense creative talent in this country.” (107 Days Kindle Edition, Location 339.) I imagine this is where a Department of Misinformation would have lived in order to censor conservative voices in media.

Harris recounts her horror of Biden’s debate performance, claims that Trump had lost a step, too, repeats the “suckers and losers lie,” repeats the Russian collusion lie, claims Trump was giving “a typical dog whistle” to his “Charlottesville tiki-torch acolytes,” (107 Days Kindle Edition, Location 1151) rails against Elon Musk, calls JD Vance a bully…so, nothing new here and all of it debunked.

Even when Harris has a non-contentious phone call with Donald Trump about the second assassination attempt, she hangs up the phone and forces herself to remember that Trump is “chaotic” and “cruel.” She had a pleasant phone call with the man, only to turn on him the moment the line goes dead. (“Chaotic and cruel” must have polled high with someone, somewhere, because she pushes that rebrand throughout the entire book.)

She talks a lot about the ongoing Israeli/Palestine conflict. It must have really ground her gears that Trump’s ceasefire negotiation happened only a few weeks after her book came out, proving that Trump, in fact, was able to handle Israel. Not to mention her idea was a two-state solution.

So, why does Kamala Harris think she lost?

1. The right controls the media.

“Their plans have been amplified by the rise of a right-wing media ecosystem built to operationalize their agenda through massive propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation. Trump was their vehicle, his road paved for him, years earlier, by a hot and pungent brew: Ronald Reagan’s celebrity, Newt Gingrich’s belligerent discourse, and Pat Buchanan’s nativism.” 107 Days Kindle Edition, Location 3698

The right doesn’t control the media, Kamala. They have one mainstream network, Fox News, and that’s not saying much. There is no right-wing media machine. The Leftists media machine was on her side the whole time, giving her favorable interviews and the benefit of the doubt at every turn. A formal complaint was filed to the FCC alleging that Saturday Night Live violated Section 315 of the Communications Act. The FCC denied the complaint…on January 15, 2025, still under Biden control. The Left wing bias in media has been exposed. This is not a valid excuse.

2. The right is just too powerful. Please, read and scoff at this quote with me.

“The right-wing and religious nationalists have played the long game, working for decades to take over state houses, gerrymander districts, and dominate local government boards. Their think tanks like the Federalist Society created the blueprint for stacking the Supreme Court, while the Heritage Foundation created Project 2025.” 107 Days Kindle Edition, Location 3695

I didn’t know the right had so much power, but if conservatives are out there taking back their government on a local level, by all means, keep it up.

3. She was too loyal to Joe Biden and everyone hates Joe Biden.

Harris’s loyalty to Joe Biden is a thread throughout the whole book. Her unwillingness to throw Biden under the bus, her unwillingness to divert from his policies, her interview on The View, her continued excuses and dismissals of his cognitive decline, all point to a loyalty that cost her votes in the end. Here’s her excusing his walkout at the beginning of the debate.

“He’d had neuropathy in his feet for years. Then he’d fractured his foot playing with one of his dogs. His doctor had prescribed a boot, but he was too stubborn to wear it, and I’m positive that screwed up his gait. Now he walked unsteadily, trying to balance himself with robotically moving hands.” 107 Days Kindle Edition, Location 83

4. Yes, the assassination attempt. From the report of one of her advisors:

“The assassination attempt pushed his turnout 20 percent. Whatever you think his turnout will be, add 10 percent. Don’t listen to anyone who says rely on paid media.” 107 Days Kindle Edition, Location 358

5. She didn’t have enough time.

“One hundred and seven days were not, in the end, long enough to accomplish the task of winning the presidency.” 107 Days Kindle Edition, Location 3744

Let’s not talk about how, the longer she was out there, the worse her numbers got.

6. Racism? Maybe?

It didn't seem like Harris was complaining about misogyny and racism any more than usual. In interviews and in the book, Kamala claims she couldn't choose Pete Buttigieg as VP because black, Indian and woman were already too many victim categories on the ticket and adding "gay" to it would have been a bridge too far.

There are a few stories, like Harris getting into a fight with her husband over a birthday gift, that signaled to me she wouldn’t be able to handle the pressures of the job of being president.

So, what can we take away from Kamala Harris’s book?

Well, when the Democrats get back into the presidency, they will do what they can to make someone like Donald Trump never happen again. Harris doubles, triples, quadruples down on the cries of fascism. And calls for completing remaking the government.

“Perhaps so much damage that we will have to re-create our government. And that doesn’t mean nostalgically reproducing what has been before, but something leaner, swifter, and much more efficient.” 107 Days Kindle Edition, Location 3709

That’s right. A system that allows a Donald Trump to happen needs to be completely recreated. What does she mean by this? No primaries, just appointments? Why even have elections at all? I’m sure that her solution involves getting rid of the Electoral College.

Yes, you should be worried when people high up in the Democrat Party say things like this. You should be worried when people like Hillary Clinton says “[Americans] should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged” for certain social media posts.

Kamala Harris lost because Joe Biden’s presidency was a disaster. She lost because America rejected her policy positions. She lost because she made awful campaign decisions. She lost because she was never and will never be a strong candidate.

Thank God, Kamala Harris is not our president. Thank God we are not living under a Leftist regime. 107 Days only proves that we cannot let the Left back into the highest office in the land when all their policies consist of identity politics, DEI, and violent outbursts at anyone who disagrees with you, from Donald Trump to your conservative uncle at Thanksgiving.

At the end of the day, the winner governs, and the loser writes a book about it. 107 Days has a happy ending. But we have to fight on to keep it that way.
