A week ago, the Hillary Clinton campaign and their news release readers in the establishment media were proclaiming the election was over, the polls were all trending her way and Election Day was merely a formality.
Friday afternoon, after the news broke that the FBI was reopening the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server after some 650,000 or more emails were found on a computer seized from her aide Huma Abedin's relation to the sexting investigation of Abedin’s husband, Anthony Weiner, grassroots conservatives and Trump supporters were proclaiming the election is over, the polls were all trending his way and Election Day is merely a formality.
The reality is this election remains close, too close for polls to assure victory to either candidate, and much remains to be done for Donald Trump to close the deal with the voters necessary to achieve a 270 Electoral College vote majority and become president of the United States.
Why isn’t Trump running away with the election?
Mostly it is because of the demographic bias built into the Electoral College in the past two decades.
The huge influx of immigrants and the vast welfare state created to support them in liberal states such as California, New York, Minnesota and Massachusetts has given Democrats a built-in advantage.
Hard-Left labor unions and other Leftwing groups – funded in large measure by billionaire Nazi collaborator and convicted currency manipulator George Soros – have created a permanent campaign machine to undercut voter ID laws, attack the integrity and security of the ballot, engage in election fraud and create chaos on Election Day.
And finally, and perhaps most importantly, the Republican Party has become less and less willing to commit resources to election integrity and ballot security measures fearing a public relations backlash from the establishment media who have adopted the Left’s “let every vote count” whether it is legal or not, mantra.
In 1976, when I first got involved in national politics, there was a closely contested state senate race in my home state of Indiana. The Lt. Governor (my future boss) was out campaigning with the Republican candidate on Election Day, hitting plant gates, shaking hands and conducting a last minute Get-Out-The-Vote blitz.
As the day wound down and they were headed to the airport, the Lt. Governor saw a large shopping center and suggested stopping to shake some hands and ask for the shoppers’ votes. “No, I’m going home,” said the candidate, “If I haven’t won it by now, it’s not going to happen.”
He lost by four votes if I remember correctly.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
There is still time for Republicans, the Trump campaign and independent outside groups, such as AmericaVote.org to identify and turnout every identified conservative voter, so that conservative candidates can win outside the margin of fraud.
There is still time for Republicans to engage in legitimate and entirely appropriate ballot security measures using poll watchers to verify the ID of voters.
And most importantly, there is still time for Donald Trump to take CHQ Chairman Richard Viguerie’s suggestion and reserve time for a Reagan-like national TV broadcast to close the deal with the American people.
With or without any new revelations about Hillary Clinton or Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin – or Donald Trump – this will be a close election.
What’s more, due to early voting, many people already had cast their ballots before the news of this new investigation of Hillary Clinton became public, but there are no takebacks in voting, those votes are irreversibly cast for or against Clinton.
To win outside the margin of fraud, Republicans, Trump supporters and independent conservative organizations, such as AmericaVote.org must keep the pedal to the metal until the polls close, and then be ready to litigate every vote in every state as the results come in and anything looks amiss.
“No, the Election Isn’t Over”
Because everyone has totally gone home and stopped?
No one is stopping our red states from having more children, yet. We say we're pro-life but where are the babies?
It isn’t over. . . this malaise could rally the loony liberals to the polls in droves “for their causes”.
And yet, that magnificent naval dreadnought, Herself, has taken a torpedo hit right in the powder magazine, multiplying the destructive effect of the torpedo many-fold.
Some days it is a turkey shoot.
It ain’t over until the fat a$$ in the pantsuit squawks.
Why do I keep hearing that ‘the race ain’t over’? It implies that Hillary is winning but we still have a chance! Honestly it sounds very defeatist.
Garrison’s cartoons are so good in every way. Makes its point and is a great piece of art at the same time.
Get out there and VOTE TRUMP....and convince as many people as you can to do the same.
“No, the Election Isn’t Over”
And neither is the murders in Chicago this past weekend. 17 murders and 51 wounded. 68 people shot.

Because that’s the situation according to the “respected” pollsters.
Black Lives Matter.
Interesting point. Conversely, you would think with the liberal's sometimes rabid support of abortion that the percentage of liberals in this country would be decreasing. Probably explains the need for open borders by the DEMs.
In Lincoln’s day, conventional wisdom was that the US population would surpass that of Chia by now. Back then, the typical US family had many children, who helped on the family farm. Extrapolate a typical six child family structure, you expect a trebling of the population every generation.That did not continue, even tho surges of immigration came from Europe. Families today are much more likely to be two or three children than six or eight. Today adults think in terms of how they will afford college for two or three, rather than considering children to be farm hands and, ultimately, security in old age.
If you reach a comfortable retirement, you consider passing on to the kids enough to pay off the cost of Social Security which they are paying for but which is pay-as-you-go as far as the government funding is concerned. And hope that they will be able to do the same for your grandchildren.
“No one is stopping our red states from having more children, yet. We say we’re pro-life but where are the babies? “
Who says they aren’t?? Maybe the illegals are invading and having babies faster than we can.
Don’t be disingenuous and lie about the rest of us.
Trump has to win and then actually do something about the inner cities. Get the democratic grip off urban areas and elections will become a little easier. It’s ridiculous that democrats start with all the huge states and have so many routes to win.
The citizen birth rate in the red states is no better than the blue. Even Utah is weak.
I will never reach a “comfortable retirement”.
