‘Don’t Have The Numbers’: Victor Davis Hanson Explains Why He Thinks Dems Are ‘Depressed,’ ‘Angry’ About Harris’ Polls
Daily Caller ^ | 1 Nov, 2024 | Hailey Gomez

Posted on 11/02/2024 7:28:50 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Hoover Institute Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson said Friday on his podcast that he believes Democrats are feeling more depressed and angry than usual because they fear they could be losing.

Polls between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have tightened with fewer than five days until Election Day. On “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” the senior fellow called out a recent take from CNN’s senior reporter Harry Enten for claiming election polling could be underestimating Harris and noted that her campaign has shifted its resources from North Carolina to Virginia in search of a path to 270 electoral votes.

“My point is that I think that’s a standard response when they look at those internal polls. Now, why would I say that? They wouldn’t be shifting resources from North Carolina to Virginia,” Hanson said. “They’re ahead in Virginia, but if they were shifting resources from North Carolina to Virginia, then it would be because they’re behind in Virginia and they’re ahead, so far ahead in North Carolina, they don’t need it.”

“No, they’re shifting it because they’re behind in North Carolina, and their internal polls say they can’t win it. And I mean, internal polls that are specific, Latino groups, black groups, Asian women, men,” Hanson added. “They don’t have the numbers that they need to win that. So then they look at Virginia, and they have an alternate pathway to 270 and Virginia is absolutely central. While they’re still ahead, at the rate they’re losing in seven days, they will lose that state. So they’re putting resources in there.”

Still could make a difference in the swing states, if anything, the point is to make the folks who don’t like Trump to just stay home on Tuesday.

Wonder what “bombshell” the corporate media will come up with this weekend

Trump got to second base outside the gym at his junior high school dance.

What color is the sky in your world?

He once went through the Supermarket Express Lane with more than 15 items.

He also once removed the tag from a mattress.

Cardinals are 4-4, they aren’t that bad, they could actually win that division.

Regarding Harris’ collapsing minority support in NC - I voted last week here in NC. There were only Republicans handing out the usual voter guides. No blue volunteers anywhere. The Republican volunteers handing out the guides were black.

Or, if it appears to be totally contrived, it could rally people to his support.

Anything that came out this weekend would look like a desperate Hail Mary from the losing team.

He can beat the cheat if his victory is too big to rig.

“Is she a practicing Hindu?”

As a kid she attended Hindu Temple and black Baptist Church. Now she’s a Practicing Satanist if her words and actions are any indication.

“I’ve watched as many of our FRiends have died and gone to Heaven, and we are all going to pass, but while we are here, I love this place...Thank you to all of the Robinsons, especially Jimbo.”

All too true (RIP Freepers passed).

“Many Christian churches, mostly black, have temple in their names.”

No, they may have buildings that are called that as a name. But Christians don’t have temples that are shrines like other none-Christian churches.

And has Heels-Up ever mentioned Christianity except to condemn the mention of Christmas?

You have it backwards. President Trump has a real shot at the electoral vote. The so-called popular vote is a long shot.

On the other hand, people don’t know that Harris is a Hindu.

Even if everyone knew, what difference would that make ?

Our Constitution forbids discrimination against any citizen based on religion.

Npw if we found out she was Jewish, that would be a different story. Can't have that now, can we ?

(The above is sarcasm and is not an attack on a religion)

BUT, it is true. And we all know it. We just don't say it.

We have a Nation where people can believe in something even if confronted with absolute proof that their belief is wrong.

We send men to jail for shooting a store manager in a robbery but we put up barriers and set up police protection for Abortion Clinics.

We divert money from VETERAN SERVICES to Illegal border crossers.

We have doctors and teachers allowed to facilitate the removal of your child's sexual organs without parental permission or notification.

All these things are obviously wrong, and yet they continue.

But, can Trump beat the cheat?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

According to Nate Silver, and he’s a Dem, Its Trump at 55%
and Harris at 45% nationally.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4275360/posts

Ten points.......that’s enough to beat the cheat.

Every one and his dog needs to get out and vote for Trump.

I voted Trump early.
