Political Nervous Breakdown

Posted on 10/28/2020 6:15:15 PM PDT by redheadedshannon

I have been (for reasons not completely understood to me) regularly reading an absolute jackass Never Trumper columnist - Allahpundit over at Hot Air. He claims to be a conservative- but always appears to be rooting for the opposition. He despises Trump & routinely posts polls, surveys, articles & anecdotes about how Trump is losing disastrously this election. I've let this idiot crawl into my head. I had this same sort of feeling 4 years ago & posted a similar thread. What do you truly feel is likely to be the outcome of this election? Not your hopes or fantasies- just reality! I definitely need a pep talk 🤣

I think there are lots of polls and info to the contrary that Trump is surging. My recommendation is for you to vote, encourage others to vote for Trump when it’s reasonable to do so, and then relax. You will have done all you can do. The rest is in God’s hands.

My personal belief is that Trump will will. To what degree he wins...I dunno. But I have considerable confidence that enough sound-minded people still exist in the nation to put him over the top.

You need to spend the nextweek bidding on stuff you don’t need on ebay.

270-268 for Trump. One of the electors will defect and it will be 269-269. Trump wins in the house but not before the Supreme Court has a say.

I think Trump wins @320 with one 2016 blue state turning red (probably NV) and the Dems furiously try to overturn NC and PA after the fact, but eventually give up.

I think we’ll also see some Jill Stein-type challenge to the votes because Dems are going to say the polls were right.

Acceptance will wax during Christmas time and wane during the Inauguration and the next 4 years will go somewhat smoothly except for statist types continually trying to implement lockdowns with populist resistance.

“What do you truly feel is likely to be the outcome of this election?”

Get your scardey-cat butt to the Polls and take six others with you!

Vote in person.

Sit back. Relax. Have a cocktail. We Got This!

Trump. 2020. Landslide. :)

Every poll I see touting Biden as inevitable has something - commonly several things - skewed. They survey “registered voters” as opposed to “likely voters”. They survey “adults”, which is even worse. They survey based on 2012’s voting demographics. They do not survey in a way to identify the “shy” vote - by talking about what people expect in general, or how they think their neighbors will vote, or what the neighbors think will happen.

The polls are not designed to measure opinion - they are designed to shape it.

There was recently a 94 MILE long Trump parade in Arizona (40K or more cars). This was a spontaneous event - not organized by the campaign.

If you think just a little, you can tell the polls are lying, and lying outrageously.

I believe Trump will win decisively. Look at the enthusiasm wherever he goes.

He will win Minnesota.

Regardless of the outcome YOU will be OK.
That is a fact.
Believe it, because its true, and tell it to yourself over and over.

And stop reading the column, forever. It does you no good, is only one persons opinion, and they don’t count. Stop letting them rent space in your head.

This country has survived a civil war. If we can recover from that, we’ll recover from a criminal President, however bad he may be. And most likely Trump will win. Americans are good people. We persevere.

I think the only way Biden wins is with extreme voter fraud and I believe President Trump is smart enough to have already had his people find ways to stop that...

The mail-in voting is the fly in the ointment this time around. In a sane world, Trump would win in a landslide, but 2020 has been anything but sane. The Deep State will be pulling out all the stops to prevent a Trump win, although frankly, I don't know what they are worried about since they've gotten away with the Russia BS (so far, at least).

I can’t give a pep talk because this has me on edge., too

Iget sick thinking of a President Harris.

Last week I felt pretty hopeful, this week?

Not so much.

I simply do not know. I have not agreed with the “Trump will win in a landslide” talk. That is simply hopeful speculation.

Trump has been attacked for four years by the media and that has no doubt done a lot of damage. Most people do not read our posts or listen to talk radio, so they have been indoctrinated.

My son, who is conservative, told me that almost everybody where he works is voting for Biden. Most openly speak about how they despise Trump. He told me today that a woman there was saying that she only voted once before, and her husband never has voted ever before....they both had just voted for Biden.

I dont want to hear this.

So I don’t know. I hope and pray that Trump will win.

I’m thinking that Minnesota might go red - if the Squareheads get it through their thick skulls that Blue means Burning...

First, don’t read jerks like allahpundit (the name alone should be a clue). Don’t put garbage in your head, it’s hard to get out.

Trump is going to win just like in 2016. Because America is still full of Americans. Have faith.
