Five Indicators of the Trump-Biden Outcome
RealClearPoltics ^ | November 02, 2020 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 11/02/2020 3:58:48 PM PST by Hojczyk

1 The Sky Didn’t Fall

The stock market didn’t crash upon Trump’s election. He didn’t ban Muslims. He didn’t put illegal immigrants on trains and send them back to Mexico. He didn’t start a nuclear war. In fact, a number of Trump’s policies and approaches largely worked as he promised. Some of those who didn’t support him in 2016 because they believed the dire forecasts have now come aboard the Trump train.

2 Trump Now Has a Track Record Unlike in 2016, Trump now has a performance record to judge him by. No longer the complete “wild card,” he did not, in general, say one thing and then do an entirely different thing.

3 The Media Disconnect And the persistent claim that Trump and his team colluded with Russia dissolved with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. With these revelations, some voters came to believe that the media is putting out false information about Trump and unfairly trying to manipulate their opinion.

4 Off-the-Charts Enthusiasm

There’s no comparison between the enthusiasm for Trump and that for his opponent, Joe Biden.

5 More Experience as President

Trump now has more experience as president than he did four years ago, and that’s four more years than Biden has in the job. He has proven to be a fighter, resilient, energetic, and establishment-defying

In the end, all things considered, this political outsider is predicting another four years for Trump and that — thanks to factors such as the protests, rioting and chaos in some cities — he’ll rake in a larger popular vote than he did before.

Then again, a political outsider like me couldn’t possibly be so wildly off of the prevailing wisdom — and be correct — twice in a row. Right?

Unfortunately, many on the left still cling to their Russiagate delusions.

I have been praying to our LORD above for weeks now that He will allow America another four years under Trump. I pray God has not decided to pull the remaining hedge of protection from us. I just hope Americans will get it through their minds that THEY are not in charge, HE IS!! Repentance is only a couple of knees away. God is pulling away from us because we have told Him we don’t need Him. Get out of our lives, out of our governments, out of our schools, EVEN out of some of our churches!! Wake up folks. Time to get right with Him.

Narrative does not match reality. So reality must go.

Mental patients can no longer be locked up if they are not a threat to themselves or others. If the doctor who makes that determination is himself a threat to others—woah, Nilly! It’s every man for himself.

Yep, once released in the late 70s they fueled the homeless population. Carter stupidity. Yet the left blamed Reagan of course.

“4 Off-the-Charts Enthusiasm

There’s no comparison between the enthusiasm for Trump and that for his opponent, Joe Biden.”

That’s nice, but meanwhile in the real world:

There’s very little difference between the amount of enthusiasm FOR Trump and the amount of enthusiastic hatred AGAINST Trump. And hatred is an extremely powerful motivator, particularly for those on the loony left whose daily lives revolve around their hatreds and how to avenge them.

Indeed! One could theorize that they are educated beyond their intelligence.

You can add in hatred of Trump from brainwashed Chicom flu addicts. POTUS has a problem if the Republican ones sit this one out or vote Biden. I just saw an Ivanka Trump ad for the first time tonight here in suburban Florida. Better late than never I guess.

Not all of them. Many older leftists are just stuck in the past. They’ll tell you that they’ll be voting Democrat because - by golly - FDR and JFK were for the working man.

What these folks don’t realize is that today’s Democrat party is NOT the party of FDR and JFK. It’s the party of AOC. It’s the party of neo-Stalinists. Joe Biden is just a puppet. If he should win, he’ll be pushed aside like the an obsolete old man he is.

It doesn’t seem like many are sitting this one out, so I don’t think that will be a factor. But the Karens (who mostly hated Trump already anyway; look at the 2018 election) and the Gullible Geezers are the 2 groups who believe the fear porn the most, and their votes will show quite clearly who they blame — the person they’ve been TOLD to blame.

Not all seniors will fall for the constant media lies about COVID, but the proportion of the 65+ age group who vote for Trump is highly likely to crater in 2020. Even our friendliest polls know that. It’s the main reason why although Trump is allegedly making great strides with minority groups, he’s not leading by more (or, in some cases, at all) in those polls — because of the significant lost ground among what is normally a Republican-favorable group.

As escapees from a mental hospital, it made perfect sense from their perspective.

She's a national treasure as far as I'm concerned.
