Revolution Unfolding Before Our Eyes
self | 7/25/2016 | LS

Posted on 07/25/2016 8:29:04 AM PDT by LS

Julian Assange says more is coming---that more Wikileaks will be emerging that would lead to Cankles' indictment.

Well, we know that won't happen, at least not for several months. But Assange's comment should alert everyone on both sides that the revolution we thought was brewing? It's brewed. It has achieved critical mass. And you see it in the polls.

Over the weekend, not only does CNN have Trump now at a 5-point lead, but if the election is head to head, Trump is at 48%. Given what are (as we well know) significant sampling biases in these polls---which I won't review again---it's very likely Trump is over 50 in this and other polls. He topped 50 in OAN yesterday. Freeper "Useless Future Eater" has deconstructed the rolling weekly USC poll that shows Trump with a 4-point lead . . . but last night it hit 47-37!

You can bet the media will be THRILLED to cover the Wikileaks so they don't have to talk about these polling trends. These are not just "bad polls" for Cankles: they are total disasters, showing her base starting to crumble (forget about the Indies, whom she lost a month ago). It also means that after the RNC, Trump has made his case: people see him as trustworthy.

But what all this means, in my estimation, is that Trump, like a good artilleryman, began softening up the ground two or three months ago with his "Crooked Hillary" characterization. This was perfectly apt, clever, and above all, 100% accurate. Now comes the invasion, in this case, by Wikileaks. This is a drumbeat of proof of Trump's Crooked Hillary mantra.

It is brilliant. Trump has done to the Dems and the media what they had done to countless Republicans for decades: tar and feather them in advance so that the slightest misstep becomes a fatal weakness. But of course, the DNC leaks were a wee bit more than a "slight misstep"---it was thoroughgoing corruption and collusion with the media from bottom to top. If you're "lyin' Ted," all it took was one statement even remotely estranged from the truth for voters to say, "Yeah, that guy does lie" and with "Crooked Hillary," all it took was a few leaks for people to go, "Trump is right." In fact, his "dishonest media" comments months ago are, like "lyin' Ted" and "Crooked Hillary" have already framed the picture for people to see. Wiki only turns the lights on brighter.

This is all the more delicious because the media is forced to cover, and apologize for, and deflect from, it's own complicit corruption. When Trump says "Hillary Should Resign," he can also point to (as he has done) the "dishonest media" and now, for the first time ever, people say, "He may have something there."

As if all this wasn't bad enough, Cankles has already been beaten on two big issues, crime and terrorism (really, the same issue in many ways). By not saying "Radical Islamic Terrorism" she is stuck for the next 3 months explaining why she won't say that. And as we know, sadly, there will be attack after attack coming in the next three months. The crocodiles have found their feeding grounds, and won't go away until killed. So there is no hope whatsoever Cankles can win on this issue, and sadly we can expect more cop attacks as long as the Moslem-in-Chief continues cop-bashing. Cankles can't escape that either.

I predicted a couple of months ago Trump would win big, but not a "landslide" which needs to include either CA or NY. Now, I'm not sure it won't be a landslide. I also thought the popular vote would be a 2% difference. It's going to be much bigger. Given the presence of 3rd and 4th parties that will take votes, I am now projecting that Cankles will barely get 40%, Trump over 50%, and the other people split the difference. Right now, even NY doesn't look entirely out of reach. Some worried the "neverTrumpers" would deny Trump an electoral victory. Now, it's quite the opposite: the "NeverCankles" voters may out of spite deny her even "safe spaces" like CA, CT, and NY. (When you see polls with Trump down only four in CT, or only 12 in NY, you know this is indeed a revolution).

There is one concern, though, and it isn't that the Dems will replace Cankles (Benie would have his own massive problems, as would anyone else stuck in at this late moment). That concern is Bill Clinton's health. In my view, the ONLY thing that can save Cankles is the demise of the ill former president, which would generate enormous sympathy for her. We all need to pray for the continued health and well being of Slick. While alive, he ensures Cankles will never be president. Hope he has a food taster.

Great!

Can I re-post elsewhere? If so, should I put author LS and FR as source?

I’d love it to go all over the place.

Poor old sot Biden is probably being dried out for replacing her as we write! The democrat party is a criminal enterprise. NEVER trust anything they say or do. Treachery is the only thing certain out of the DNC.

“It’s okay. I just heard on the radio the FBI is investigating. They’ll get to the bottom of it and make sure the people who need to be prosecuted are identified. They are really good at this e-mail stuff. *Snort*”

I’m betting that someone in the FBI, or more likely NSA or CIA, hacked the DNC computers in retaliation for Hillary getting a pass for violating national security laws.

Larry - Always enjoy reading your stuff, good analysis with data to support it. More “vanity” posters should read and heed, IMO. Of course, few, if any, have your writing chops anyway...

Personal view is this is just the start of the proverbial Chinese “interesting times” and the posturing and spinning by all will become the aerobic exercise of our times.

Well, we know that won’t happen, at least not for several months.

She will never be indicted for anything regardless of how illegal it is. She has a permanent Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card.

Mr. Trump gives the best commentary, even better than the talking heads in regards to the DNC convention.

...Until the election is over and Mr. Trump becomes President number 45.

Not time to celebrate yet. Candidates always get a bump after a convention.

That being said, I can't remember the last election cycle where a Republican candidate enjoyed such favorable polling this early in the process. Eisenhower maybe?

Positives and negatives:

1) Revolution is long overdue.
2) Reasonable chance of success.
3) Not violent, so far.

Negatives:
1) “We Live In Interesting Times”, per the Chinese.
2) Uncertainty breeds problems.

Still a troubling aspect of all this, for me at least, is that a strong 90% of our media, 1/2 of our congress, a good portion of our justice system and at least 50 MILLION of our fellow citizens are eager for the jump to unbridled corruption and lawlessness in government and will vote to support Hillary Clinton in November.

(What a sobering thought to ponder.)

What really makes me sick about the Kasich situation is that his feud with Trump completely negates the advantage the GOP has with having a sitting governor from the party in Ohio. This is such a crucial swing state and, normally, having a governor on your side would be so helpful for the ground game. It’s going to be grassroots all the way for Trump in Ohio, meaning he’ll have to pull in many disaffected Democrats to his side.

Here is the deal about Cankles gettign 40%; you know as well or better than I do that that certain about of American dunderheads will go out and reflexively vote (D) no matter what. I believe that number is even over 40%.

You think Assange has cut a deal with Trump to spring him from the Ecuadorean Embassy?

This election season has been very entertaining. No idea who will win. Trump has been a surprise since he first jumped into the race. Fascinating stuff.

Built-in advantages for the Democrat candidate will be very difficult to overcome. But Trump has torn up the playbook.

You know the other side is scrambling to get an email dump of the RNC.

If they find one questionable exchange, of minor significance; they will use it negate the entire DNC dump of many serious exchanges.

That’s the way it works when the left own the media.

Pray that the RNC does not get hacked.

I wonder how Julian Assange benefits by taking down the ‘Beast ...

He hates her. I read that he thinks she is a war monger and really despises what she did to gaddafi.

“... at least 50 MILLION of our fellow citizens ... will vote to support Hillary Clinton in November.”

Just remember, some of these voters are not citizens, and some are dead.
