Agree - it is the Demonazi’s only hope - so the President must marshall his forces to fight the mail in vote fraud NOW....somehow.
It is interesting how committed they are to defeating Trump.
It exceeds their past commitments to defeating Bushes exponentially.
They fear the good Trump would do in a second term.
You’ve got that right.
They fear what’s coming, in Trump’s second term
I just wish we could give POTUS a Senate Majority AND the House.
Imagine what he could do for this country.
(I know, I like dreaming.)
I've been expecting Trump to do something to shake up his campaign and he did. I feel badly for Brad, who spent over 3 years planning the 2020 campaign and then had to start all over and do it from scratch after covid happened and then plan it all over again after the riots. It's gotta be stressful, but something needed to change.
Hope he is from Jersey.
He would know to bring a gun to a knife fight.
Trump was not aware that covid would hit, nor the riots would happen. As smart as Trump is, he can’t divine the future. He is mortal, so I doubt he took those two things into consideration in campaign planning in the last 3 years.
People start voting in mid September - there is not a day to waster.
That’s a good point. Trump wisely likes street fighters.
Kellyanne was Ted’s pollster during primaries. She took over from Manafort.
That’s a good point. Trump wisely likes street fighters.
2 things in our favor:
1) As Scott Adams said, the GOP views this election as an "Extinction Event", which could wipe out the GOP. We will be voting for the survival of the Republic.
2)Courtesy Schweikart - Closed college campuses means the Dems will have fewer votes from registration drives.
“Staring at a rout, Trump believes the polls, even if many here don’t.”
That’s a broad supposition. Could be that others advised him to do this. Could be that there are specific factors that make the new person a better choice. Further, to your point, why in the world would polls be more accurate now than they were in 2016? Why would anyone make that supposition?
All supposition. The reality is that the reality has changed. We haven’t had many, if ANY elections in the US in which the choice was between someone with traditional American values, vs someone who supports defunding the police and embracing socialism. There’s no precedent for this election, thus it is all supposition at this point.
As to why the polls may be more accurate now, I know that pollsters have corrected one significant predictor of voting preference since 2016, and that is education level. They are supposed to adjust for education level now, and did not in 2016, thereby missing a key Trump voting vector.
A second reason is that people are home, not traveling, etc. Easier to reach than in 2016.
As to whether there is a "shy Trump vote", I think yes, there is. There may be a 1-3% effect from this. But a double digit gap will be hard to overcome. Even Republican leaning pollsters (Gravis, Rasmussen) are showing Trump behind.
The day after that rally I said he was gone. Overestimating the attendance wasn’t the problem. Publicly announcing that a million people had reserved tickets was the dumbest thing they could have done. I’ve driven 3-5 hours to attend Trump rallies in the past. I wouldn’t travel 3-5 minutes to attend a rally if I thought there would be anywhere near a million people there.
Knew Parscale would pay a price for Tulsa. Today it finally came.
Just read a tweet from Bill Mitchell to the effect that Stepien is a good grass roots guy, who apparently was instrumental in helping Trump win Michigan and Wisconsin in 2016.
Praying that he’ll succeed in mowing down Sleepy Joe!!
“As to whether there is a “shy Trump vote”, I think yes, there is. There may be a 1-3% effect from this.”
You make very good points, but this is the major point about which we disagree. I believe the ‘shy Trump vote’ is significantly larger than in 2016, and is likely to be at least 5-8% - probably more. There was no movement to ‘defund police’, make Americans pay reparations, loot and take over areas of cities, and demonize caucasians in 2016. There is now.
If Bannon isn’t back already, he will be shortly.
Brad out does not equal Trump losing. Just the opposite.
