The Electoral College Prediction That Will Leave the Left 'Terribly Shocked'
Townhall.com ^ | October 29, 2020 | Matt Vespa

We’re either right or wrong. There is no in-between here concerning the polls. These liberal outlets are oversampling Democrats, ignoring Trump Democrats, not accounting for fewer young voters turning out, and including way too many college-educated voters to craft a narrative that this country holds a D+15 electorate. It's just not true. Trump Democrats are being ignored. Rural Republicans are being bypassed. The suburban cohort of the GOP—sure. They’re the squishiest and most vocally anti-Trump of the group. At Trump’s rallies, around 25 percent of the attendees didn’t vote in 2016. Some firms haven’t even moved off from registered voter samples. It’s a trainwreck. Biden is supposedly ahead by double-digits, which his camp says is not true. They’re admitting the polls are inflated, which could also be a ploy to keep their base anxious and ready to vote. They don’t want complacency to settle in like it did in 2016. Yet, the rule hasn’t changed: never underestimate anything when Trump is on the ballot and at the top of the ticket.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is also feeling good about President Trump’s chances for re-election. Appearing on Fox News’ Sean Hannity’s show, the former speaker said that the Electoral College result will shock the Left. He has Trump clinching another Electoral College landslide, nabbing 326 electoral votes (via RealClearPolitics):


Newt Gingrich said the left is going to be shocked by a Trump victory and said an electoral map showing the incumbent president with 326 electoral votes seems right to him in an interview Wednesday night with FNC's Sean Hannity.

"He has a better likelihood than he did at this stage in 2016 when he was clearly behind and closing rapidly," Gingrich said. "The people I trust the most, the pollsters that have been the most accurate over the last 5 or 6 years who seem to understand the dynamics of the age of Trump."

"I saw today the first electoral college map that made sense to me and it showed Trump at 326 electoral votes plus," Gingrich said. "I think that is probably about right. I think the left is going to be terribly shocked."

[…]

"I think every day that Biden hides and Trump goes out and campaigns, the psychological message being driven to the American people is really deeper than just ideology or partisanship," Gingrich said. "It says one guy has the guts, the willingness, the toughness to actually be out here, taking on things including Covid. The other guy is hiding, frightened, hoping the news media will save him because he can't possibly save himself."

One side will be eating a lot of crow next Tuesday night. We all bank on it being Biden and his crew. And I think Newt’s prediction is about right, but taking off my MAGA hat, I can see this swinging the other way toward Biden as well. I just cannot believe the polls right now. They’re all over the place, and the early vote totals which usually trend toward Democrats aren’t trending so favorably toward Biden, especially in key states like Florida

Still, even with the hesitations here, I feel like we’ll be drinking up a lot of liberal tears next week.

Oh yeah, remember the pony tail guy, begging for a handout? He was too young to remember JFK’s “ask not” line, and Bubba was too corrupt to put the kid in his place by repeating it. Daddy Bush might have gotten a few points if he had jumped in with it.

She can’t. If Trump were to somehow win NY the slate of electors would not include her. She will only vote if Biden wins NY.

I still maintain that this godforsaken State of California I live in could have been in Play if Trump exploited it.

Those Trump rallies in Beverly Hills started me thinking the same way.

They are the ones with Sanders stickers on their BMW SUV's.

We recently went to dinner with a friend we hadn't seen in a while. She said she was leaning Sanders, and now Biden. Yes, she owns a BMW. And is a landlord with a couple apartment buildings and a couple rental homes. She had no clue about Sanders and Biden! I said why not Trump? She said she didn't like his attitude. What? I said I've worked for a-hole bosses but respected them for getting the job done. You need to pick a president that gets things done the way you like, and especially a conservative one that won't jack up your taxes and attempt to take away your property and riches. Don't know if I swayed her to vote for Trump, will find out later.

People that blindly vote on emotion and not logic, are stupid!

Anybody in the SFO Bay Area who says they are undecided - they are definitely going to vote for Trump.

Nobody in the Bay area admits that they are Trump supporters.

I have. And have gotten a lot of grief. I don't dare wear my MAGA red hat in public, that would be dangerous.

Rush thinks Biden’s people keep his ‘rallies’ small, don’t advertise them at all so if Biden drifts away, not too many witnesses. Ditto if he says something really stupid.

I think the polls are fake because the Left has no choice. If Dems knew how badly Biden is going to get beat, many would not vote which would destroy the down-ballot, which would through everything into our lap. They are panicked. I think Newt is right, the Left is going to be stunned.

Many of these college student register to vote where they are attending school AND in their home town. Voting two or more times is not unusual for these young idiots

“No way NY is in play. Early voting lines have been enormous here in NYC. Those are overwhelmingly votes for Biden-Harris.”

The long lines could very well be people lining up to vote for Trump as a giant middle finger to cuomo, deblasio, schumer, gillibrand, aoc, etc.

“Governors don’t control how their citizens vote”

They can through these BS covid restrictions.

Mandate no in person voting by having it all mail in only, sort through the ballots and secretly dispose of a few 100k Republican votes and the state flips blue.... So easy even a kennedy can do it.

In retrospect, it appears that that evil Christopher Wray did us all a favor by covering up all the scandal surrounding Sleepy Joe until NOW...you know in October...just in time for TA DA the October Surprise.

Next big job, GET RID OF CHRISTOPHER WRAY.
