Win Popular Vote

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/26/2024 2:01:11 AM

Donald Trump could win the popular vote, the New York Times’s Nate Cohn wrote Friday, which would provide the former president with a mandate. Cohn’s admission Trump could not only win the Electoral College vote but also claim the popular vote underscores the establishment media’s acknowledgment of Trump’s momentum with just 11 days until election. The latest Time’s polling, published Friday, shows Trump is winning by one point nationally (with third party candidates included). Cohn reported on the possibility of Trump winning the popular vote, which has not been won by a Republican in 20 years:

I hope he does win the popular vote. And then demand that California award him their electoral votes, per their very own National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

As many said 4 years ago, there is no such a thing as a national "popular vote."

The fact that Trump is gaining is proof of the really bad condition this country is in under Joebama and Cackles.

Schizophrenia is described as loss of a sense of reality. That popular opinion seems close to evenly divided suggests that this is a schizophrenic country. Yet most of us know people who seem perfectly normal who plan to vote for Harris.

Former President Donald Trump announced Sunday his support for a tax credit for family members who care for an ill parent or loved one. Trump unveiled his policy proposal at his historic rally at a sold-out Madison Square Garden. “I’m announcing a new policy today that I will support a tax credit for family caregivers who take care of a parent or a loved one. It’s about time that they were recognized, right?” Trump said, drawing a roar of cheers from the crowd. “They add so much to our country and are never spoken of — ever, ever, ever — but they’re going to be spoken of now.

The Madison Square Garden rally for President Donald Trump has been rocking. We reported earlier about the massive crowds trying to get in, some of whom had been there since Saturday morning and had stayed overnight. The Democrats, including vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, equated it to a Nazi rally held in MSG in 1939. We also reported how that was belied by the very people there, with many Jewish people--including a Holocaust survivor who had decried the despicable Hitler references that Kamala Harris had been tossing around. Then the whole narrative about the comparisons is stupid because MSG had four different venues; it's not even the same

Derangement of a Never Trumper 5 replies

David French’s current New York Times column is the manifesto of a self-described Never Trumper. French recounts the four lessons he claims to have learned from his nine years of opposition to Trump. They seem to me to be deeply deluded. Lesson number one is that “Community is more powerful than ideology.” French’s point here is that Trump is not a Reaganite purist, but nevertheless has been embraced by the Republican Party. But French completely fails to acknowledge the many ways in which Trump aligns, ideologically, with the Republicanism that has been mainstream since the 1980s.

NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump cemented his image as the biggest showman in U.S. politics by bringing his Make America Great Again road show to the world’s most iconic arena. Taking a detour from crucial battleground states, Mr. Trump, joined by a star-studded cast of surrogates, told the thousands who flocked to see him at New York’s Madison Square Garden that the election is a stark choice between the status quo’s “gross incompetence” and the dawn of the “four greatest years in the history of our country.” “I’m thrilled to be back in the city I love,” Mr. Trump said. “I’d like to begin by asking a very simple question:

The natural cynic in me is loathe to ever partake in analyzing early voting numbers, but there is one exception. Jon Ralston has a long history of breaking down the data in Nevada and has proven that his model should be taken seriously. With that said, it's panic time for Kamala Harris. Ralston has released his latest blog on the early returns, and they paint a picture of a race slipping away from the Harris campaign. Things are so bad that she'd now need to dramatically overperform with independents to make up the difference. Republicans have increased their statewide lead to 31,000. That’s right at 5 percent.

Over 100 planes were involved in the attack on Iran on Saturday, including the cutting-edge F-35. Israel’s preliminary strike on radar targets in Syria was aimed at “blinding” Iran’s capabilities, quickly escalating into an offensive targeting Tehran and Karaj, Iran’s capital and another strategic location. The IDF confirmed the operation focused strictly on military targets, steering clear of nuclear and oil facilities to prevent wider conflict escalation. High alert remains as Israel anticipates potential retaliation, not only from Iran. This large-scale assault involved over 100 aircraft, including F-35 “Adir” stealth fighters, traveling approximately 2,000 kilometers. According to foreign reports, strikes focused on Tehran and Karaj,

At this time of a probable losing national campaign, when the number of days left to catch up slowly dwindles close to single digits, campaign aides, surrogates, and party leaders begin the process of forming the traditional circular firing squad. These are political professionals whose cred rests solely on their track record. There are no points for finishing second. It is vital to their future employment prospects that they avoid the stink of defeat at all costs. Hence, finger-pointing. Axios, one of the most plugged-in left-wing news sites, reports that after "scores of conversations with people close to Harris and intimately involved in swing-state races," the broad consensus is that

Desperation time? The front page of Thursday’s New York Times bluntly blamed sexism for Kamala Harris’s campaign woes. Reporters Lisa Lerer and Katie Glueck bitterly lamented “The Quiet, Stubborn Aversion To Putting a Woman in Power.” With less than two weeks left before Election Day, a big question is looming over the campaign for the White House, and it has nothing to do with the economy or the barrage of attacks between former President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris over judgment, character and mental fitness. It is gender.

Just how can we measure the Kamala Harris disaster that took place Wednesday night at the CNN 'town hall' event? Her supporters apparently inundated moderator Anderson Cooper with complaints and insults for daring to challenge Harris with questions about policies and her record, as he told Charlamagne Tha God and podcaster Angela Rye last night. Now he knows how Bret Baier felt for asking a perfectly normal set of questions. Needless to say, just as with the Baier interview a week earlier, the level of outrage aimed at the interviewer gives a very good indicator of how these events went for Harris.

President Biden described the current election cycle as “decency versus lack of decency,” and called former President Trump a “loser” during a campaign stop for Vice President Harris in the swing state of Pennsylvania. “This is the most important election of our lifetime no matter how old or young you are,” Biden told the Pittsburg, Pa. audience members on Saturday. Not a joke, not a hyperbole, not about Democrat or Republican. This is decency versus lack of decency,” Biden declared. “This is about character.” The president added Harris was a “clearer” choice for the position of commander-in-chief. “The choice couldn’t be clearer. The choice couldn’t be more stark,” the president stated.

Everyone is wondering what will happen on November 5. Will Trump win the election? Or will the Democrats, aided by their Deep State operatives in the FBI and CIA, manage to “fortify” the election once again? This may surprise you, but I think he’ll win—although that’s not the end of the story, and there’s not necessarily a happy ending. Two months ago, I didn’t think Trump would win. I was confident that the same “cabal” of Deep State cronies Time Magazine wrote about in 2021—the secret junta that really rules America—would never allow Trump to win in a fair election.

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, recently called Donald Trump a “fascist to the core” and “a wannabe dictator.” That such a senior military leader would feel comfortable saying this about his former boss is remarkable given that similar statements by officers have, in the past, resulted in severe punishment. The U.S. Constitution makes the president—the only democratically elected leader in the chain of command—commander in chief. Military leaders serving under the president owe him both deference and respect, regardless of whether their policy preferences differ.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said she thinks the Madison Square Garden rally former President Trump is hosting Sunday is a “white flag of surrender.” “I think he’s waving the white flag of surrender,” Hochul said Sunday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.” He’s coming back to a city that he knows well. He’s comfortable here. Maybe he’d like to sleep in his own bed.” Hochul contrasted Trump’s rally with Vice President Harris’s itinerary. She’s campaigning in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania. Trump will be going to his “known, familiar” environment, but it won’t serve him on the campaign trail, Hochul argued.

“Exxon Knew!” The battle cry has inflamed and inspired climate activists for decades. Since the 1970s, they allege, Exxon Knew that human-caused climate change is “real” – but lied about it, claimed there wasn’t a “crisis,” and kept marketing its “planet-killing” fuels and petrochemical feed stocks. Now activists say Exxon Knew for years that very little plastic waste is actually recycled. The oil giant is deceiving regulators and consumers with claims that all plastics are recyclable and its “advanced recycling” processes keep enormous amounts of plastics out of landfills. ExxonMobil “campaign of deception” demands a lawsuit, says California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Michelle Obama came out to support Kamala Harris during an event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday. She hasn't done much for Harris; she hasn't been out there like her husband. This is her first campaign appearance apart from the DNC in August, and we're almost at the election. She scarcely could have done less. But to be fair, surrogates Barack Obama and Bill Clinton haven't been doing well for Kamala either. They seem to be accidentally throwing her under the bus and stepping in it more than helping her. Barack basically attacked black men for not being sufficiently supportive of her and suggested they were misogynistic.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has hit the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris — but critics are panning her 11th-hour sales pitch as “racist” and “sexist” and saying that her words reveal more about her than they do about Harris. Obama ignored the possibility that Harris — who catapulted to the top of the Democratic ticket on the tidal wave of President Joe Biden’s ouster from the race — was simply a weak and unlikable candidate, and instead argued that the voters were the only possible weak link in the chain. That, she claimed, was the result of racism and sexism in the electorate.
