Will it Really be a Cliffhanger?
American Thinker ^ | 3 Nov, 2024 | Clarice Feldman

I think it wise to just vote and ignore the polls and pundits, many of whom are dealing from the bottom of the deck and bluffing. I’d also ignore those doomsters who claim on the basis of the 2020 election that it will be stolen. Sure, as I note below, there has been and will be a lot of cheating, but the Republicans are getting better at monitoring it and reducing it. Sure, the press is lying again, but as I show below, the legacy media has blown its credibility and alternate content providers are capturing audiences away from them.

Bill Shipley offers up the best most succinct argument for ignoring pollsters and using your own estimates of the strength of enthusiasm and ground games to predict the outcome:

The "noise" today that Harris is rallying and Trump is stalling, and early vote totals from women in some battleground states are becoming harbingers of doom for Trump have one purpose:

To prevent a down-ballot wipeout of Dems if voters become demoralized and think that Trump has it sewn up.

Nothing has happened in the race to support the media polling out today -- MEDIA POLLING -- from outfits like Marist and Emerson.

In 2020 Marist had Biden +5 in PA, +6 in NC. Two weeks before the Nov. 2020 election, Marist had Biden ahead by 11 nationally.

Same for Emerson. Its last poll in 2020 had Biden +5 nationally.

They had Biden +8 in Wisconsin, +7 in Michigan, +4 in PA.

They had Biden +1 in Ohio and Trump +1 in Iowa.

Trump won both states +8.

So, when you see the media walking out these polls today as evidence of a Harris comeback, understand they are Eastern Colleges, affiliated with anti-Trump media organizations, and their JOB

I imagine these polling organizations KNOW that Trump really won in 2020 too.

“I think it wise to just vote and ignore the polls and pundits, many of whom are dealing from the bottom of the deck and bluffing.”

Those are some of the most factual words written about the election yet. But still there are those that take all the polls and other propaganda as though it were the Gospel and try to intelligently discuss it and pee their pants over it.

It’s really simple. Just ignore all that crap and go vote Trump. Go home, have a cup of coffee and get back to normal routines. It will all work out. In the end I have a feeling we will have the House, Senate and White House along with massive civil unrest and violence over it.

Yep, it’s about all you can do.

Well, I guess you could do a lot more like observe, knock on doors, talk to people. make phone calls, push back at Diddycrat-owned polling locations, etc.

I’m sure it will work out.

But there are many examples in history where it did not work out at all. I think that’s what folks are concerned about.

I wonder how many close calls there have been in history? Where the communists almost won but didn’t?

“...laptop was Russian disinformation The result was that millions of voters thought the laptop was fake and never learned that Joe Biden oversaw a vast influence-peddling scheme involving China, Ukraine, and other nations, with his son and brother, until after the election. These are high crimes for which people should go to prison.”

Those crimes will never be prosecuted and FJB et al, get off scott free.

At best, we can hope the FBI and CIA are completely overhauled and reformed from the top down to the lase DEI agent in the field. Doubt that will happen but we can hope.

As I’ve mentioned on other similar threads, I am of the idea that Trump is likely winning back the two to three percent of voters that helped him in 2016 but lost in 2020 due to the upset caused by the pandemic and even other manipulation such as the laptop story suppression. These people likely thought Biden, with his blue collar Democrat image and getting along well with ones like McCain and Romney, would be that decent middle of the road choice. However as we all here know, Biden turned out to be that serious disappointment on many, many fronts and Kamala the same and that is likely benefitting Trump very much.

One other thing, you can suspect that many of these vote/ballot crooks might step aside for this one as they just don’t want to take a chance on getting caught for a particularly dumbass like Khumulah with Trump’s people people breathing down their necks looking for criminal activity.

Our country and society are incredibly polarized right now and it would be hard to find an organization that isn't powerfully biased in favor of one side or the other.

Consequently, all polls, opinions, rumors, so-called news stories, even headlines must be evaluated against the backdrop of bias.

It’s not the polls I worry about, it’s that a person with the character, background and ability of Kamala Harris can become a candidate for POTUS on a major party ticket.

Polls are what the MSM want you believe to affect voter turnout. Nothing more nothing less.

She’d just be a puppet like Biden.

Harris would only be a puppet. That is how she got on the ticket.

This. This right here.

Special shout-out to FreedomPoster to the bolded section. We have both seen this in action.

It would take an idiot, a pure flaming idiot, to vote for a democrat on Tuesday. A vote for ANY democrat would increase a voters cost of living AND, more importantly, put your kids or grandkids in uniform to be killed or maimed in some foreign land. But yet, some idiots will give Karmala the first votes of her presidential goal.

“..I think it wise to just vote and ignore the polls and pundits....”

First sentence. True words.
Ignore em all and continue to campaign as if 50 points behind.
Vote, Vote, Vote....Fight, Fight, Fight!!!
Outside of the cheating communists, complacency is the biggest enemy at this point.
