George Soros says Trump will win by a landslide but confesses to one major problem
Red State Watcher ^ | October 21, 2016 | Bloomberg video

Posted on 10/23/2016 10:45:34 AM PDT by AZLiberty

Soros: Trump will win in a landslide in the popular vote, not in the electoral vote, because, there, paid political [mumble] (elements/announcements?) will have a big role, and so the electoral thing will be closer, but the popular vote will be a landslide because we are a small minority of extremists, so we are all moving in that direction, and while I don't think Donald Trump has any chance of being elected ...

Interviewer: But you think Hillary Clinton is a done deal?

Soros: Yeah.

The electoral college has been a stacked deck against republicans. The last few election cycles have been the republicans will win all of these small states BUT if they don’t win these two or three (swing states) they lose either way.

That doesn't really tell the whole story, though. Demographic changes have diminished the importance of many traditionally Democratic states. New York, for example, was once the largest state in the U.S. by population. It peaked at 47 electoral votes in 1932, and maintained that position through the 1948 election. It has been dropping consistently since then. It is now ranked #4 in population among U.S. states, and has had only 29 electoral votes since the 2010 census.

Pennsylvania's decline has been even more dramatic, from a high of 38 electoral votes (1912-1928) to only 20 today.

The Republicans just have to get smarter about winning these fast-growing states that have seen an influx of migrants from other places in the last few decades -- like Florida, North Carolina and Colorado.

If the results of the election are changed by faithless electors, all bets are off. There is no way that even our current police state could stop what would be in the cards at that point.

Would the democrat party - - a party willing to pay mentally ill street people to rough up Trump supporters - - be willing to rig the vote?

Of course.

On the election Soros is evil but he’s no fool. It would cost too much to rig the vote in every State so he sticks to ‘swing’ states... He rigs the minimum.

The MSM would play it as the electors only following their consciences.

Hence, Cruz's cuck statement at the Convention to 'vote your conscience' might have been more telling then merely a mealy-mouthed political cliche' ?

If so, the biggest reason yet to HATE the traitor bastard.

The brutal truth is no one should be able to, "Out vote" anyone or any other state and that is what the Electoral College does. The Electoral College was created to enable those who are motivated to manipulate elections to do so. It's a recipe for manipulation.

It needs to be one man, one vote, whoever gets the majority wins. End of story. It's not complicated or complex and removes lots of fraud in the process.

The term "Popular vote" is bull shit. It should mean whoever the majority votes for wins. Hopefully at some point in this epic struggle against corruption, this BS "Electoral College" bit will be abolished along with these super corrupt political PACs, et al.

( It can be any ethnic group but this way if Democrats object to our ‘rigging the system’ we can call them racists.) I’m sure Chuck Todd won’t object - how could he? He’s and Chris Matthews have been buying the democrat lie for so long it’s like they own it.

Trump needs to add another plank in his contract with the Voters: Dual national citizens are forbidden to work in the federal government and forbidden to contribute to political campaigns.

Indeed. The DemocRATS can’t cheat if it isn’t close.
________________________________________________________

You’re assuming a LEGIT election. I don’t think that is what Soros is saying. There is nothing in the Constitution nor in federal law saying Electors have to vote with their own party, and only 27 states have state laws requiring such. The majority of Electors are actually free to vote in any manner they choose, regardless of popular vote. They vote along party lines now only as a matter of custom, not law.

If enough Electors can be bribed, thus Soros’ “paid Electorate”, then the popular vote can be effectively nullified. Trump could win the popular vote be a wide margin, but still lose a fixed Electoral Vote. The Dems know it would cause in immediate uproar among the “little people”, but would eventually be accepted and forgotten. It really isn’t much of a risk in their point of view.

If it’s true “the good die young”, then Soros is serious competition for Methuselah.

Bingo! Electors are legally allowed to vote their conscience. Remember people trying to get electors to change their vote so Algore could win in 2000. Electors in all likelihood are party people/elites. They know who they want to win. So if it is at all close in electoral votes, I’m certain Soros has some in his pocket who will say they refuse to vote for Trump because — blah, blah, blah, even if Trump has won their state.

If there are any kind of shenanigans and Congress doesn’t certify the Electoral College vote, I’m not worried about Obama staying in there. “Speaker” Ryan will just declare himself president and take over until “everything” can be sorted out.

Just registered on FR. Been a conservative my entire life...glad to have the chance to ‘talk’ with like minds and voices.

Was wondering...even though he’s not entirely ‘there’ (mentally or politically)....what harm would it do to have somebody from the Trump Campaign work Gary Johnson to endorse DJT....drop out of the race...motivate his supporters to cast their votes DJT in exchange for some kind of ‘gain’ or recognition of him (similar platform issues) in the Trump-administration? Thoughts? TRUMP/PENCE 2016...

Dear Mr. Soros,

Sincerely,
The American People

Translation: Trump will win in a landslide, but we’re going to steal the election. So, Hillary is a done deal.

This is why Trump said what he said when asked if he’d commit to supporting the election result.
