Election predictions
original to Free Republic | Nov 1 2020 | Peter O'Donnell

Posted on 10/31/2020 10:46:07 PM PDT by Peter ODonnell

So, time to share your insights, what will be the results of the historic election on Tuesday?

Here's my take -- first of all, disclaimer, I think there is a considerable chance of vote-counting irregularities contaminating one or more of the states, with legal challenges to come.

So with that partly clouding the outcome, I think Trump takes this by a slightly larger margin than last time, like around 340-198, and that he takes most of the states often mentioned as battlegrounds, plus one or two that seemed out of reach, maybe even a NY or a CA.

That is all dependent on a reasonably fair count. And we all know that is by no means guaranteed.

What do you think will happen?

Five rallies a day.

he embarrasses me for complaining about being 52 and it’s all over :-)

I think one only sees a few truly remarkable men in their lifetime.

When Ronald Reagan said tear down this wall, I thought are you crazy? Are you trying to start world war 3? No he wasn’t. And many many millions of people enjoyed freedom for the first time as a result of his actions.

When Rudy Giuliani said he could make New York City great again I laughed. When he made it great again, hateful Muslim monsters tried to break our hearts and souls and he pulled NYers through it almost single-handedly.

When Trump made that immigration speech I thought he had completely lost his mind. No one could say that and have a chance at winning the presidency.
When he said he could bring back jobs and the economy and put us on top again, I didn’t believe. But now I do.

Rudy is a HomeTown hero and the Great One and Trump are national heroes but they are the three that stand out to me.

And Trump will have four more years to show that miracles can happen

Granted New York city’s resurgence did not last and sometimes I am not sure how long this country will last.

But it is always an honor to see great men do great things.

Ciao

agree- Fl looking good, NC tight now and AZ tighter than last time (growth of Hispanic vote-as Peoples Pundit showed first year residents moving to state are actually more conservative) but still probably win Az by 2 so I give Trump 290 EV to win

I got to 275 including those two so you must be including ones that I’m not. You may be very right. I wish we had a map in front of us :-)

I do not think Nevada and Minnesota and Pennsylvania are going to be won by trump. I could be very wrong what do I know? :-)

And I didn’t include Wisconsin which he definitely has a chance of winning

“Democrats take the senate.”

I think Trump’s coat tails will prevent this.

I'm 77 and know I can't keep up with the President.

Yes, we do only see a few remarkable men in our lifetimes. I believe God uses men like President Trump to accomplish great things. President Reagan was a great man and a great leader.

Rudy G is Americas mayor and I believe he is doing the right thing by exposing the Bidens for what they are. CROOKS!

Fret not about NYC. It will be back better than before.

Keep President Trump in your thoughts and prayers as he navigates the final days of the campaign.

I’m not convinced that the Marxists will lose this one. The Democrats and the “deep state” were caught off guard in 2016, but they’ve gone to insane lengths from the very day after the last election to make his re-election extremely difficult. No doubt they still have some more mischief in store when it comes to the actual voting. And the insane “white guilt” reactions to the terrorism that’s been going on since June shows that many have been successfully brainwashed. And then there’s the conveniently timed Chinese virus factor. There is little chance for a Trump landslide in 2020 America. If he wins, it’ll be close.

Well, all I can say to you is cent’ anni!!!! It would work better as a toast with good wine but this will have to do :)

You’re a good man. That much is obvious.

And I will pray for Trump...and you are right. He is definitely being used by God for great purpose.

You’d think he’d be my favorite coming from NYC and all. I shook his hand once at Rockefeller Plaza where I worked.

I guess Ronald Reagan brings back the teen years so that gives him an edge :)

Rudy’s insane :) I would be way too afraid to do what he is doing.

This may be the last time I get to be this proud of a couple of guys who grew up in NYC.

buona notte

I fear he will lose because the suburban women. I have said for a long time he had to tone down the nasty comments.

The election is anticlimactic, pure Trump blowout. GOP takes house, keeps senate.

Women voters shifting from Hillary to Trump this time.

Black vote goes from 8 to 12 percent. Also a noticeable change from Dems voting Trump.

Media says white women are becoming more racist like their husbands and COVID negatively effected dem voting and liberal youth vote.

Several left wing media celebrities commit suicide on air to protest.

My humor can be morbid sometimes.

I appreciate your concern.

And I will be around for all four of Trump’s next term :)

I don’t think President Trump will win. Yes, he’s drawing huge crowds but so did Palin/McCain, though not as big as Obama’s. During the Dem primary, Elizabeth Warren drew bigger crowds than Biden, yet Biden won. Crowd size does not give me comfort and I think the president was sounding a little over confident yesterday, which also worries me.

The evil media and evil Dems have not backed away from their assertions Biden has this won. Yes, a few media outlets and pollsters changed from Biden in a landslide to Biden in a close race, and a few Dems sounded alarm bells about Biden underperforming in certain demographics, but they still seem sure Biden will be the next president.

NC and GA should have been securely RED by now, instead, the President has to spend time in those states during the crucial final hours. I don’t see PA going his way due to rampant fraud and MI could be equally fraudulent.

There is still tremendous dislike of the President’s personality - especially amongst my crowd (educated, suburban moms). I assure you, I have tried to persuade many of them to think differently, but they cite his “Twitter rants,” juvenile insults” and always mention the “p-grabbing” from 2016. When he goes off script at rallies and launches into name calling, it further turns them off. I sometimes cringe, too, but accept it as part of the whole Trump package where the good far outweighs the bad.

I hope I’m wrong and President Trump does win, but the media and the Dems have done their best to destroy him and too many have bought into it.

Trump should, easily, carry all fifty states, and the fact that Trump, probably, won’t be carrying all fifty states shows how problematic the entire U.S. has become. Ditto, about all of the pro-Leftism that continues to exist throughout the entire world with all of its ongoing problems.

"I predict they will litigate it all the way to the supreme court."

So do I, and will be more than one lawsuit. America probably won't know who is their next President until sometime in December. All lawsuits will be expedited up the judicial system to the USSC. Remember, Bush vs Gore. That was a simple decision because Florida was trying to change their election laws mid-stream. The coming suits will be about voter fraud and about voters not receiving their absentee ballots.

That is why I and the wife are going to drop off our mail-in ballots at an official polling location on 11/3. I don't trust the USPS anymore. With 6 hundred thousand employees, any sorter or delivery person can just trash ballots from Republican zip codes.

Once we overcome Corvid, I believe that other than out country military and truly infirmed should have to vote in person at official polling places.
