Opinion: Democrats should easily defeat Trump. They can't.

If Democrats aren't panicking yet, they might want to start. The Kamala Harris honeymoon is over, and the glow has dissipated.

In six of the seven battleground states, former President Donald Trump now shows a slight lead in the polls. An NBC News poll released Sunday shows Harris and Trump tied in the national vote.

We are three weeks out from Election Day and one thing has become clear: Trump might actually win.

A Trump win would raise a lot of questions for Republicans. He's an objectively bad candidate who doesn't represent conservatism well.

However, it would raise even more questions for Democrats. How could they have lost to such a uniquely awful opponent?

If Trump wins this election, it will expose the Democrats' weakness in choosing a nominee and relaying party ideas. In that case, they'll have backed inept candidates not once but twice this year. How embarrassing.

President Joe Biden barely won the 2020 election with 7 million votes. Since then, he has declined physically and mentally. Propping him up as the Democratic nominee earlier this year was not just unwise but unscrupulous.

Opinion:What did Kamala Harris know about Biden's deteriorating health? And when did she know it?

The Democratic Party knew Biden was unwell........
