Trump will beat Biden like Nathan Phillip’s beats his drum!
Re: the enthusiasm gap
It’s certainly true in my case. I have NEVER been as enthusiastic about voting for a candidate as I am about voting for Trump this year. I have dutifully pulled the lever for every GOP nominee in every general presidential election since 1988. And it’s not even close. I remember being enthusiastic about Bush 41 in ‘88, as it was my first time voting and I thought I was casting my ballot for Reagan’s 3rd term. But since then my feeling has ranged downward from mildly enthusiastic (maybe Bush 43) to lukewarm (Bush 41 in ‘92, Dole ‘96) to holding-my-nose-and-voting-for-a-real-stinker (McCain, Romney).
This year, I’d crawl on broken glass to vote for Donald Trump. Not because I think he’s perfect, but because no president has been treated so unfairly by the media and his opponents. And no president’s reelection since at least the Civil War era has been so necessary to preserve some semblance of order. if Biden wins, I’m afraid it’s lights out.
——DC statehood would destroy the electoral college.
How would DC statehood destroy the Electoral College?——
LOL no kidding. It wouldn’t change the EC at all.
It would hurt the GOP in the Senate, though.
Polls Schmolls. WHO CARES! They are ALL FAKE!
To even mention “Real Clear Politics”, the sum of OLD FAKE polls, shows how ridiculous any claims thereafter you might make.
Polls are like drugs, the more you ingest, the more you crave.
F the polls, good OR bad. They are manipulating you, and you are letting them do it!
Actually, I like having President Trump tweet what he’s thinking. For years democraps and their media friends have been name calling and spewing lies about our candidates. It was about time we had a champion of the people who could give it back better than he got it. Only difference is people are realizing, President Trump isn’t lying. Doesn’t have to. What we found out was the democraps and the media can’t handle it and go crying back to their mommas because they are shocked. My twin is a dyed in the wool liberal retired teacher. Nothing is changing his mind. Every time we talk politics (he starts it), I confront him with facts and he falls back to, “Trumps and idiot.” I finish him off with, “you get that punch line from CNN or MSNBC?”
It would have no impact on the Electoral College, but would add two Senators.
The democrat party is the new road kill even the buzzards won’t touch it.
Basically very good news based on the only polling methodology that has a chance of being predictive of the election outcome.
The methodology: LIKELY VOTERS.
The recent Biden by 15 poll was, incredibly, a mix of REGISTERED VOTERS and ADULTS. This is a methodology that is guaranteed to predict a Jeffrey Epstein (D) victory over Abraham Lincoln (R) in a Presidential election poll.
One or two words of caution: I think the D vs R mix of 50/50 is perhaps a bit too favorable to Trump and the poll preceded the recent Covid-19 uptick in deaths.
But all in all, very good news.
Absolutely. Watching the liberal teeth-gnashing on election night 2016 was a figurative riot. Election night 2020 will probably not be as much fun no matter who wins.
You might wanna have a full salt-shaker handy when a pollster titles it’s poll; “How Sleepy Joe Biden could still EASILY lose the US election”

Patriots are reminded that PDJT cannot fire worthless Congress and Democrats and RINOs in state governments. Thats a job that only us ordinary voters can do in November.
DC statehood would have no effect on the electoral college. DC as a state would have the same 3 electoral votes it has today, and one member of the House.
But what about Puerto Rican statehood? It would have 4 seats in the House and 6 electoral votes.
None of this means anything if the left can push through massive mail-in voting in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, and Ohio.
Also, the best reasons in America to reelect President Trump!
Thanks to PROCON for the above realities.
Its another issue Republicans should have addressed years ago. The only logical solution is to reduce the District to the Federal Triangle, return the rest to Maryland, and repeal the 23rd Amendment. Maryland probably gains a safe Democrat House seat, but the Democrats lose 2 or 3 electoral votes (depending on how the House is reapportioned) and we remove the threat of 2 permanent Democrat senators.
Congress might be able to do this without Marylands consent. Repealing the 23rd Amendment probably would not be controversial, because otherwise the Districts 3 electoral votes would either be controlled by the President and his family as the only remaining residents of the District, or by Congress utilizing its power to direct the manner of appointing the Districts electors under the 23rd Amendment.
Of course it would change the electoral college. EC votes are based upon the sum of the number of senators and congressman for a given state, with a fixed total of 538 available to all states combined. DC would therefore get 3 electoral votes, which would have to be redistributed from other states. Not a huge change, but it would most certainly be a change.
Never mind, I wasnt thinking about the fact DC already gets 3 EC votes.
Yes
I'm hoping that won't be necessary. I did, however, dip into my savings to send what, for me, was a very large donation to Trump's campaign. I also sent some big bucks to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. We need Trump and Senators to continue the work.
