Just spoke to a Democrat consultant friend on the ground in a swing state who told me I could repeat some of what we discussed.

Just spoke to a Democrat consultant friend on the ground in a swing state who told me I could repeat some of what we discussed. Here's what I can tell you; take it with a grain of salt if you like but I think he's being straight with me.

Nobody really thinks Kamala is going to win at this point. Canvassing is going poorly almost everywhere, with few exceptions. The party is getting their high-follower influencer accounts to push out motivational stories just to keep morale up and get them over the finish line with some dignity, but it's not great. The Iowa poll was good to give a shot of adrenaline to volunteers, but nobody important believes those numbers are real.

Of all the swing states, they're hoping Michigan comes through and possibly a late-night miracle in PA, but nobody is counting on either of them. They don't think Trump is actually going to flip VA or NH, but the fact that they've even entered the conversation is indicative of how bad things could potentially turn out.

The early vote counts are just beyond what they expected to see for Republican turnout, and has Dem strategists rethinking whether it was a good idea to make such a big push to broaden early voting in the first place. Republican low-propensity voters are activated in a way nobody really expected and the polls didn't capture it. Yes it's possible those early Republicans broke Democrat in an unprecedented way, but very unlikely.

The campaign has switched entirely to 'woman vs. man' messaging, as liberal white women are the only reliable voter bloc they can even identify at this point.

Priority now is saving some downballot races and flipping the house so the night isn't a total embarrassment for Democrats.

Like I said, take this all with a grain of salt as this is secondhand information, but this is what I was told, and I think it tracks with other things we know.

In other news some Freepers have been caught putting yellow mark-down stickers on their black pill bottles.

Lol.

This is consistent with what a lot of Republicans are saying.

I have no doubt Trump is going to win and it will become obvious tonight.

Still sounds more like managing expectations, reads to me that it is way worse than even this admits and they are trying to manage the fail and provide enough cover to cheat a few steals out.

I believe this. I believe they’ve known she had no hope for a while and they’re just trying desperately to save down ballot races. If Democrat voters are really demoralized, we could be looking at a 55-56 majority for the Republicans in the Senate and a larger majority in the House. Such large majorities would break the back of the RINO’s ability to slow things down and to water things down for their Democrat Establishment buddies.

They “pull out” MI and PA, then all they need is WI to win.

So let’s keep praying.

Until Trump wins

Rumor is that an application was received from a Kamala H at this website:

Get some yellow mark down stickers for your black pill bottles.

You will need them.

Remember 2022.

The Republicans need to dismiss this good news and keep working until the polls close.

As our coaches used to tell us, “Play through the whistle.”

I’ve been voting in NH since 1986. I’ve never missed a primary or presidential vote. In all of my years, I’ve never seen lines outside of the building and down the driveway of our school. I went by at 8:00 am and then went by at 11 am. Lines the whole time. This is epic.

Just on Bannon that in several PA counties the Dominion voting machines are not working.

They are having people put ballots in a box to be processed later.

The Dominion voting machines were hacked for Biden months ago.

It would not shock me if Biden got a million votes.

Lol.
