I think Trump will win somewhere between ten and fifteen percent of the Black vote in November. I truly hope it’s more, but certainly he’ll do better with Black voters than recent Republicans in presidential elections.

No matter who ends up winning I still worry. Usually Americans reward the President when the economy is doing well by re-electing him. Trump is different because we’ve never faced these kinds of headwinds before. Trump derangement syndrome far exceeds Bush derangement syndrome. The media is in all-out war against Trump, and the radicals are enraged and will crawl out of the woodwork (and possibly graveyard) to vote against Trump.

It will take turnout for us to re-elect him. R’s and Trump Independents must understand this. VOTE!

Biden at the end of the day will have twice as many votes than Sanders had in the first three contests. He will be second place in the delegate count.

I don’t think he will maintain the pace on Tuesday.

Don’t want to sound like an optimist, but Trump motivates Patriots in a way Dubya never did.

Absolutely. Of course that’s true but we face enormous enemies and we must not rest.

“ The Democrat Party is far deadlier than the Coronavirus.”

The Democrat party is Captain Tripps.

Coronavirus is a bad flu.

No argument there, FRiend Vaden.

I was hoping for a Biden win to muddy up the waters and it appears my wish was granted.

Ultimately, what I’m hoping against hope for is a brokered RAT convention where the superdelegates maneuver Bolshevik Bernie out of the nomination.

After that, more than rioting ensues — a low-level civil war breaks out, only it’s between factions of the Left rather than Antifa vs. Patriots. Milwaukee and a few other run-down cities burn to the ground, and we get to watch the carnage from our relatively safe suburban and rural homes.

Harsh chemotherapy for our broken political system, but probably the best possible scenario. Let these traitors and lunatics destroy each other. We on the Right are the builders and the doers. A few burned-over cities will rise better than ever in a few years.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about probably the two best books I’ve read about the Spanish Civil War — George Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia” and Arthur Koestler’s “Spanish Testament.” Both devote a lot of pages to the Stalinist vs. Trotskyist/Anarchist infighting that at various points in that war took precedence over fighting the fascists.

Leftists are deranged and violent. That’s all there is to it. Again, I don’t want to sound like an optimist, I’m just considering a range of possibilities, and internecine violence on the Left needs to be considered.

I totally agree. I also have long thought that a good dose of social disruption from the left is gonna be needed to snap people out of it and see their true colors. Sometimes tough medicine is the best.

The funny thing about all of this to me is this: do these people REALLY believe in what they are selling? Burnie is rich, owns 3 houses, cars, and has a 2.5 mil bank account. I don’t think these people want socialism. I think they want to use the false promises of socialism to get elected, sink the economy, and introduce repressive measures to “fix” it.

It’s POWER and CONTROL they want and that’s why they are so dangerous.

Interesting fact:

In 2016 “Out of 3.12 million registered voters, 2.10 million voted, a turnout of 67.86%. Donald Trump continued the Republican tradition in South Carolina, carrying the state with 54.9% of the vote.”

There was not a Republican primary election in S.C. today since DJT is the nominee in the GOP party. Look at the number of people voting in the DEM election. Do the math and figure out the number of people who will be voting for the Republican ticket in November.

“Means nothing. He won a state because of the black vote”

Yes the Black vote has spoken. They will take a demented, liar and crook over a Socialists, liar and crook, as well as a Gay, quasi Socialist and highly likey crook. IT IS A TOUGH CHOICE.

I believe most blacks stayed home. The turnout will be very, very low.
