Gingrich: "Very Short Night" If Trump Wins Michigan, Florida, North Carolina
Real Clear Politics ^ | November 8, 2016 | Tim Hains

Posted on 11/08/2016 11:16:01 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says election night could be "very short" if Donald Trump carries North Carolina, Florida and Michigan.

"If Trump carries New Hampshire, it's game on," Gingrich said on Tuesday's 'Fox & Friends.' "At that point, if I were Hillary and her team, I will be very, very worried."

"We're really in for a long night unless, as the poll that came out this morning suggests, he carries Michigan, in which case we're in for a very short night because at that point it will be very clear that Donald Trump is the next president," Gingrich said....

Winning MI puts Trump in the driver’s seat. It gives him many more ways to get to 270.

Not my original, but worth posting here:

Folks, the lamestream media is probably going to make a last ditch attempt to influence the election by calling the election, or at least the battleground states, as soon as polls start closing.

By law, if you are in line at closing time, the poll must remain open until all have voted. Therefore, if the lamestream media calls your state (or other states) while you are still in line, DO NOT LEAVE.

And, please do your best to encourage likely Trump voters to stay in line with you.

I had a bunch of similar items to coalesce around this but ... just don’t get complacent. Vote, get your FRiends to vote, and stay alert.

Don’t go home until you’ve cast your vote or they’ve locked the door in your face!

Simple enough.

The fifth-column media will stall tonight to give the Demonicrats time to stuff more ballot boxes and get them accepted by crooked election judges.

Either the Trump turnout is snuffed, or it becomes a major blowout.

There was a leak in a high-pressure natural gas line, and there may have been a spark.

Either way, events will move very, very quickly.

Michigan. Again with Michigan. That is the third or fourth reference to Michigan in the past hour, from different sources. Gingrich, Luntz, Fox News...

Okay, gotta calm down.

Sniff ‘N’ The Tears
Driver’s Seat lyrics

Doing all right
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Jenny was sweet
She always smiled for the people she meet
On trouble and strife
She had another way of looking at life

The news is blue (The news is blue)
Had it’s own way to get to you
What can I do? (What can I do? )
I’ll never remember my time with you

Pick up your feet
Got to move to the trick of the beat
There is no elite
Just take your place in the driver’s seat

Driver’s seat, driver’s seat, yeah

Doing all right
A little jiving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Driver’s seat, driver’s seat, yeah

Jenny was sweet
There is no elite
Pick up your feet, pick up, pick up
Pick up your feet, gonna dance the day away
Driver’s seat, driver’s seat, yeah
Driver’s seat, driver’s seat, yeah

Driver’s seat

Combine this with the story about Hillary’s camp saying that she was in “free fall” in MI. Unfortunately they were talking about her numbers, not the candidate hereself.

Remember Pat Caddell’s story about the 1980 election where Reagan rose very rapidly just before the election and went on to a landslide win.

No, they'll actually call the election for Hillary at their earliest opportunity.

They've done it before as a way to suppress Republican voting.

I see that the MSM is reporting long lines-a good sign!

Trump won’t win MI until late in the night. The “urban” areas will hold back votes.

If Trump wins or is close in Michigan, then Pennsylvania is also very much in play.

Pray to the LORD above, folks.

Don’t think for a second that Newt does not know what the internals are for Michigan, Pennsylvania, etc...he’s cautiously optimistic, but optimistic for sure...let’s keep charging.

Yeah, sorry, but I kind of doubt that report--even if it is on Fox.

Why? Because I do not believe the Clintons are either (a)open or (b)honest about what is happening with them.

If they are OPEN, then they are being dishonest. If they are caught being HONEST, then they aren't doing it openly.

Been watching them since 1992. They're grifters and liars.

Newt also said Romney would win with over 300+ Electoral Votes! LOL
