Here comes the October Surprise!
American Thinker ^ | 3 Oct, 2022 | Ralph Alter

Posted on 10/03/2022 6:09:54 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The tactic described as the October Surprise holds the juiciest fruits of opposition research until late in the election cycle. The key is to save the reveal until it’s too late to elicit an effective response. With the modern plethora of media outlets ready, willing, and able to leak campaign secrets or propaganda, the problem has been to keep the scoop under wraps long enough to limit the target’s response. With the pitiful slate of Democrat candidates and the party’s failed policies wreaking havoc on our nation and the economy, it seems the Dems have been emptying their bag of tricks prematurely.

You still know it’s coming soon. Even though those wacky Dems have already launched their September Surprise. And their August surprise. And their June and July surprises. They would have a daily surprise if they could keep their weak sisters in the media up to speed.

They need something like the leak of the Supreme Court reversal of the Roe decision to yield a sufficient “Surprise.” They’ve already pedaled their Student Loan Forgiveness surprise. bomb. If Merrick Garland could have held his horses a bit longer, the FBI’s raid on Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago could have been the perfect October surprise. Launched prematurely, the raid has been exposed and turned into a liability for the Dems.

Maybe it’s a bit nostalgic to call these mostly fictional bombshells surprises any more. The biggest surprise would be for the Democrats to run honest campaigns and lighten up on the slander and libel.

The best Democrat October surprise would be if they actually had any accomplishments they can run on.

It never ceases to amaze me how all the writers talk about elections and polls as being normal when the Democrats, with their successful cheating and fraud in 2020, don’t care about any of the “normal” since they are emboldened and will cheat even more in 2022.

You’re right.
They did plant something, and probably left some ‘bugs’ behind.

Big surprise is 'everyone knows the press will lie and whore for the democrat party'. The power of the October Surprise isn't what it was.

We get the scam.

Two groups of liars working in tandem to trick citizens.

So far I think it's speculation, but the number I saw last week was $164.90 per month, down from $170.10.

Not quite enough for a pint at the pub for the Irish session.

A fun speculation—a few of my off beat and sick ideas that our foes could well use to “fix” the election and keep control.
1. War with Russia over a “Russian” Terrorist attack on American Citizens. Patriotic push—a Lusitania Moment.
2. “Proof” Trump was a crook—used the White House to make a fortune. A fraud to skim funds from decent hard working people.
3. Melania made Porn movies and was a hooker.
4. Trump follower kills Biden (or Harris or Nancy P.) on National TV—funeral to rival that of Queen Elizabeth II.
5. Dr. Oz a member of the KKK.
6. A Nobel Peace prize for Biden for stopping the Ukraine War
7. Dr. Biden finds cure for Cancer.

I don't think the raid on Mar-a-Lago was launched prematurely, I think they timed it with the expectation of following it up with indictments in October. The problem is that the Special Master is slowing things down. Their only solace was when the appeals court let them continue to use the documents internally.

Still, I also believe that if they had waited until October to launch the raid, that would have helped the Republicans even more because the Trump voters would have been livid and would want to retaliate at the voting booth.
