Why Trump Will Win
American Thinker ^ | October 27, 2016 | Michael Finch

Posted on 10/27/2016 4:17:13 AM PDT by Kaslin

Donald Trump is going to win on November 8th and the moment when this election turned from seeming defeat to certain victory will be the least expected and one of the most derisively attacked moments of his campaign. During the third debate when Trump said on being asked if he would accept the election results, "I will look at it at the time" the election was his. The uproar on both sides of the political spectrum has been an avalanche of criticism; this was Trump at his worst, the dooming moment of a quixotic and egomaniacal campaign. Or was it?

Decisiveness and boldness don’t always result in a victory on the field of battle but indecisiveness and hesitation, in the moment of crisis, most assuredly will result in inglorious defeat. Trump has been called a lot of things, probably the most flattering among, even his allies, is that he is a good “entertainer.” For political acumen, he might be given a 2, and that would be the score given by his friends. But too many have all missed something that Trump as seen since the beginning.

Trump is reading something different, a mood and frustration in this country that is not just confined to some 32%. The country is heading in the wrong direction, we on the right know that, but in fact, almost 70% of Americans overall sense that. And that is not just an indictment of the Obama years; it is an indictment of the entire bipartisan political class.

This election is not being run for the pundits, the media, the conservative gadflies and hangers on, the consultants and wise thinkers who tut-tut continually on television about how Trump, “just can’t do it this way,” he must pivot and be “presidential” and discuss nothing but the issues.

I’ve already decided no more “REPUBLICAN”, no more FOX NEWS Shep or Megyn, and now no more tuning in just to see the “panel” (goodbye Steve Hayes *sniff*).


I’m with you. Don’t forget Steve Hayes is part of the Bill Crystal cabal, so he used to sound reasonable, but he’s clearly on the dark side now.

I ditched Shep and Meggy long ago, and can’t stand Brit Humes show replacing Greta.

Fox is headed towards CNN status and rumor has it they want to hire a CNN person to run it

They WILL attack and strike back.

They'd do the same if they won.

So, we believe that he’s outside the margin of fraud?

Would you have liked it better if the title was “Why Trump will lose”?

Nope; just asking opinions.

A potentially bad idea to vacate the hapless GOP on Nov. 9. Wait and see.

Are you going to join some third party that can not even make it to DC or perhaps the Rat party?

I totally agree, I just pray he isn’t sniped after he wins. That is my fear. I am not old enough to remember President John F. Kennedy, but I have read about rumors and heard about rumors. I pray history does not repeat itself, not this election. Now if Hillary wins??? Well...I might be praying the opposite.

Wow! I did not know those were my only options.

Wait, I have another - DECLINES TO STATE (which means independent but since there is an INDEPENDENT party they had to come up with a different label for those that do not want to be part of any party.

We sometimes wonder why blacks support Democrats when they (the Democrats do nothing for them) but it dawned on me that “conservatives” have supported Republicans (giving them control of congress several times) yet nothing changes.

Are we so different then any other block of voters? We have been manipulated and taken advantages of yet like an abused wife we always take the abuser back.

Well no more. If they want my vote they will have to work for it. If it means my vote doesn’t count for much, well I live in California and my vote has not counted in many years so I am used to it.

But by all means stay on the plantation if it makes you comfortable.
