The phrasing here is ... interesting.
"My campaign manager called me up to say we need 200k more votes that we cannot find"

================================================================
Normally, you'd hear a candidate say something like, "We need to turn out 200,000 more voters in key swing states," or "it doesn't look like we have the 200,000 votes we need."
But "we need an additional 200,000 votes that we can't find"?
Lest we forget, Trump was impeached (the second time) and later indicted as a result of a phone call in which he told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger to "find 11,780 votes" to potentially swing the 2020 presidential election away from Joe Biden.
Democrats said that this was some horrifying assault on democracy itself when Trump did it.
(By the way, Kamala needed way more than 200,000 votes, having lost all 7 swing states and the popular vote.)
In the same interview, Kamala advocated for lowering the voting age in the U.S. to 16, and her reasons are hilarious.
Kamala says the voting age should be lowered to 16 because young people "fear they'll be wiped out by extreme weather & they fear having children." 🧐

Ah, yes, we have to lower the voting age because ... politicians like you locked down schools and told them the world is going to blow up?
Peak Kamala!
Lest we also forget, this is Kamala and word salads are her specialty, so it's best not to parse them too finely.
I responded:
Guess they couldn't print 'em up fast enough.
Trump was impeached (the second time) and later indicted as a result of a phone call in which he told Georgia Secy of State Raffensberger to “find 11,780 votes” to potentially swing the 2020 presidential election away from election thief Joe Biden.
At the time, Dems revved up their phony indignation, indicating “finding votes”
was some “horrifying assault on democracy” b/c Trump did it.
But Kamala saying it was A-ok.
Btw, loser Democrat Kamala needed way more than 200,000 votes. The unpopular
word salad candidate handily lost all 7 swing states and the popular vote, to boot.
Have the DemonRATS already started “early voting” for 2028?
In reality they don’t have to lower the age. Most young women today never seem to grow past the emotional age of 12-13, making them there for the taking. You have 40 something suburban women who have the mental and emotional stability of 13-year-olds.
Ballots being printed even as we speak...............
Well there’s lots oof cemetaries!
Actually, given how close the races were in the swing states, that was probably accurate. Trump won 2016by essentially 40k votes taking into account how close the swing states were. That’s why the notion of “popular” vote is just that…a notion.
Kamala says the voting age should be lowered to 16 because young people “fear they’ll be wiped out by extreme weather & they fear having children
——————.
Those would be the children who were not aborted.
it was about 780K votes difference total in the seven swing states, so if she picked up 200K in a few of those states combined, the outcome would have been difference. Wisconsin, for one, had a difference of 0.9% between the two…approx 30K votes. One or two more close ones and it would’ve flipped. Not taking away from the historic victory that arguably saved our country, but, yes, it was still close.
My first thought. And my first statement on this way back when was that this is a common way to talk about votes and needing votes.
“...phone call in which he [Trump] told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger to “find 11,780 votes” to potentially swing the 2020 presidential election away from Joe Biden.”
It bears remembering that Trump’s team had identified over 65,000 very suspect votes for Biden in Georgia: out-of-state voters, voters registered in multiple places, voters registered at non-existent addresses, double-counted votes, illegally harvested votes, etc. Trump suggested that out of over 65,000 apparently fraudulent Democrat votes, surely Raffenberger could verify the illegality of 11,780. That’s very different from “finding” 12,000 new ballots for Trump under a desk.
It is why they begin indoctrination on children, flatter them, tell them how important they are, and offer them a figurative "seat at the table" in "adult matters".
Yeah - right up till the transmission breaks and you still have to get to work somehow...
...Young people make great "Useful Idiots", and it is why people who never grow up, gravitate to Leftism and become "Useful Idiots"..."
I find that very distressing to contemplate, because in my line of work before I retired (Healthcare) I would encounter, intelligent, sharp, insightful, talented physicians (and other specialties) who were stellar at what they did, but...they were Leftists, or at best, extremely Liberal.
For decades, I could not square that circle. They appeared to be masters at their specialty, but in other matters, they were 16 year old Greta Thunbergs, and I found it deeply unsettling.
However, I read a book by Thomas Sowell titled "Intellectuals and Society" where he described it perfectly, and we see it all the time, and it helped me understand:
To summarize, people who have knowledge or are experts in one field or specialty, feel that they have knowledge or are experts in another field.
They make this erroneous intellectual jump, and it is compounded by the fact that society is inclined at some level to agree with them. For example, someone like Dr. Spok might be a world renowned expert at Child Psychology, but...he may never have actually had or raised children. (Note: I don't know if that is true, just making up an example to illustrate the point.)
The fact might well be that he is no expert at raising children. Granted, he was one once...I too was one once, and even though I have never raised children, I can understand some aspects of being a child and being raised by adults.
But someone who has raised even one child is far, FAR more of an expert at raising children than I will ever be.
And so it goes for people like Hollywood celebrities who are good at memorizing lines and reciting them in front of a camera, but, like Sean Penn and Robert De Niro, consider themselves worthy to take a stance on things and communicate them to people who willingly listen and accept it.
And is isn't just actors or celebrities. Look at someone like Bill Gates, who may have had knowledge of computer operating systems (although there are many PC owners who scoff at the notion) and presents himself as an expert at everything else under the sun. Experience shows us that he is not only stupid and wrong on many of these things, he is dangerously wrong, and has the money, the pulpit, and a gullible and willing population of people who will listen to him as if he is an expert.
There are rare people (autodidacts, or polymaths as some call them) who can teach themselves effectively but that is not what we see in society today. Thomas Sowell explains this well in his excellent book.
And again, this transference of "expertise" manifests itself in this "magical thinking" that is so common on the left.
That stupid woman thought she was going to win???
That stupid woman thought she was going to win???
She almost did.
She had a billion and a half in campaign dough! Where the hell did it go?....................
We just made the victory too big to rig.
