She was already deemed the next President. Guaranteed to win, the Election was just a formality.

Then the people who had real jobs got off work and voted.

Anyone that thinks that Biden is as strong a candidate as Hillary was is an idiot.

We see one poll after another showing that black voters are polling way higher now than the amount that voted for Trump in 2016. I strongly believe that means that the undecided/moderate voters are probably still attracted to Trump because they see him as someone that cares for minorities, and don't see him as a racist.

Although I believe Trump will do noticeably better this time around, we still can't pretend that mass democrat party cheating will occur.

The list of media cliches would fill a library (that’s a cliche unto itself but you get the idea).

One of the most insidious, and therefore most frequently used, is the phrase “it’s unclear.”

“It’s unclear” is used to freely insert opinion, speculation, criticism, doubt (where there is none), and any other sentiment on behalf of the writer. Get something inflammatory, defamatory, or plain old false on the page and in the reader’s mind and they will almost subconsciously ignore the “it’s unclear” disclaimer.

“It’s unclear” means the writer has cover for being wrong or merely malicious.

Let’s play:

“It’s unclear whether Donald Trump is a sleeper agent planted years ago by aliens from the galaxy Andromeda.”

Also frequently used is the phrase “Raises questions.” This is the Post & Times’ preferred method of expressing disapproval and sowing fear, uncertainty and doubt.

“Trump’s speech raises questions about whether he is secretly a Klansman.”

Negative space watch: they mentioned Trump’s travel but not that Hillary wasn’t traveling. Because she couldn’t.

The DEMs won’t make the same mistake of ignoring the Rust Belt states, or at least ramping up voter fraud there to unstoppable levels.

You have that right. Michigan's Governor/AG/SOS are all corrupt, militant leftards.

I fear the Wayne-Washtenaw-Kent (Detroit-Ann Arbor-Lansing) vote fraud industrial complex is working overtime this year.

FWIW, at this time 4 years ago nearly all of us felt a lot more pessimistic about Trump’s chances.

That’s why Hillary Clinton is President today. As the polls showed and all the TV panels confirmed, she was and is America’s choice for Commander in Chief. And Donald Trump is relaxing, enjoying life playing golf and taking yachting trips with his wife. S/
