Damn the Polls
American Thinker ^ | 7 Feb, 2024 | J. Robert Smith

Last week, The National Pulse reports that Trump is leading in all seven battleground states. Pop the cork! Trump wins... Not yet, anyway.

This isn’t to suggest that Trump boosters shouldn’t be heartened by polling data and trends favorable to 45. Apart from hardcore progressive Kool-Aid drinkers, who believes that their lives are better off after three years of doddering Joe Biden? Four more years of the Enfeebled One would transform the Republic into Oakland.

Yet what did we learn from polling in 2016, 2020, and 2022?

A lot of polls missed Trump’s upset in 2016. Reliable polls looked promising for Trump in 2020. Four years ago, though, Democrats and their henchmen used the pandemic to rig presidential elections, as in plenty of ballot hijinks. Ahead of that, they busied themselves rewiring election systems – as in litigating to change laws, lying, censoring, and funneling lots of Mark Zuckerburg’s dinero into blue county elections offices. The latter juiced Democrat turnout.

Overall, it was a sophisticated effort that’s become a machine. D.C. lifer jackals, like Christopher Wray and William Barr, helped oil the gears on the inside and squelch investigations. The Machine operates outside and inside government now, and we’re smack up against it in 2024.

The Machine hummed during the midterms. That huge red wave? The Swamp was never swamped. That wave just lapped gently on the Capitol’s steps.

Time crowed in the immediate aftermath of the 2020 elections that, of course, what we barbarians call election rigging -- and prewiring -- was just well-intended collaboration among a broad spectrum of powerful interests to “save democracy.” The skullduggery included establishment Republicans who despise Trump. Let’s add that RINOs love playing Stepin Fetchit to their Democrat massas. Guys like doddering Mitch McConnell pretend that betrayal and selling out serves a higher...

Trump has to overcome the margin of cheat.

Anyone who thinks that feeble Joe campaigning from his basement, and to screaming crowds of 12 people in 2020 won, is delusional.
It is the cheating that has to be roped in.

You said it. That’s the bottom line.

The cheat factor makes any poll in any election worthless.

The value a poll has that highly favors a Trump win is that it motivates the rats into developing better cheating schemes.

At the very least Trump will be embroiled in court cases throughout the campaign if not jailed. The swamp is so desperate to stop Trump that even assassination is not too far fetched. The election will again be subject to massive vote fraud. However, the problem is Biden who is growing increasingly senile and could not campaign without a major meltdown. I expect Biden will step down by the DNC convention and be replaced by another candidate. Who would the Democrats pick from a pretty appalling list of possible candidates?
