And why would it be an upset? (Ok, I admit, I didn’t read the article - too long - maybe he explains why it would be an upset.)

If the election was free of fraud we would certainly see a “Trump-Slide”.

I hope and pray there is enough enthusiasm out there for Trump to counter the damned fraud the dems have planned...

Excellent interview. I always Davis’ TV appearances. I think he’s one of the few conservative historians around.

As I read here, regarding Trump signs, it will be a lawn slide!

People who are on the coastal peripheries that had skills or were part of a professional class plugged into global markets — insurance, finance, media, academia, law, high tech — who made enormous amounts of money were exempt from the consequences of their own ideology.

That ideology - a patina of saleable socialism over an authoritarian core - it isn't anything new, and it will turn out to be sweet to be in the ruling class because there is no middle class left to challenge it; a firm coastal elite containing an hollow country that no longer is capable of supporting it and isn't needed to - the rest of the distributed global economy will do that and slave workers take the place of free men and women. For the most part these people aren't thinking of their country because they don't have one, they're thinking of their class. That has led to more dark spaces in history than nationalism ever did.

no President deserves a second term more than Trump, given what was done to him.

Nicely put.

Re “a respected former govt official like Rosa Brooks”. From what I’ve seen and read, she’s as politically and ethically corrupt as they come

It would be worth an examination of her policy suggestions and what happened if they were implemented? Don’t think she’s batting .500 or more.

I love hearing his perspective. He seems the voice of reason when everything else is white noise turned up too loud!

Trump is already winning, with or without Dem fraud. And the DOJ and Homeland Security are doing more to combat ballot fraud than has ever been done before, with plenty of arrests already.

Why is the word ‘upset’ even used? There are no rankings in politics except the made up lies called polling.

Donald Trump did not upset killery. He simply beat her.
