Billboards versus the MSM
American Thinker ^ | 10 Aug, 2024 | Christopher Garbacz

Recently, Kamala Harris is holding her own in Presidential polls. If those polls are true (more on that in a minute), it’s not because of who she is or what she’s done. It’s because the media—her PR team—is flooding the airwaves in her favor and against Trump. However, there’s another zone that Republicans can flood.

Regarding the polls, you must take presidential polls not with a grain of salt but with many a grain, even the polls that show Trump ahead. Most of these polls are not valid for a variety of reasons.

The key reason is that it is too early in the election season. Crucial voters do not really focus until late September and October. So, there is no reason to pay attention to August polls before the Democrat convention has even been held. At this point, polls are just internet clickbait and fodder for talking heads in the media to generate advertising dollars.

When Reagan ran for President, he knew that the MSM was not going to treat him fairly. His answer was to take his message to the people and bypass the MSM. He did so very successfully.

Trump faces an even more activist MSM, such that they have become effectively an arm of the Democrat party, and, thanks to manipulated searches and social media censorship, the internet leans heavily in that direction as well.

Like Reagan, Trump is following a bypass model. He uses mass rallies, press conferences, and digital messaging.

However, mass rallies have proven dangerous given the attempted assassination where the Secret Service failed in its duty to protect Trump. The Secret Service has shown in numerous ways since then that it cannot be trusted. Trump is very brave in continuing to hold his rallies

“Will the deep state try to assassinate President Trump again?“

I believe they will and have long since said so. Hell, a great many of us were right in opining that they’d try to kill him in the first place.

The greatest obstruction before them is Donald Trump. With him gone they see a clear road.

It could be a huge mistake to think that simply taking Trump out by violence would end the conservative movement. I think of all the times assassinations (JFK, MLK) or other deaths of leaders (Carnahan, for example), just consolidated their movements. Maybe that is why he hasn't been killed (yet).

Oh of course it would be a great mistake but my guess is based upon the degree of rage and hate that they are so full of. People who would plot to kill have limitations in their intellect that get them into trouble. Binge watch a few of those forensic crime shows. There is no limit in class or IQ to the killers. And when they fail in an attempt they try again. Now factor in the degree to which the elites FEEL their control and superiority and RIGHT to rule with their rage… They’ll off Trump in a heartbeat and expect to be able to control the backlash. In short: They’re crazy.

Trump’s choice for Vice President seemed a bit surprising. I think Trump sees something in Vance that says he can handle the presidency. I sort of see it in Vance also. He doesn’t back down.
