After Action Report: Super Tuesday's Lessons [Behind Paywall]
PJ Media ^ | April 4, 2020 | Vodkapundit

South Carolina voted just five days ago. The week prior — the date I’ve highlighted on the chart — polls seemed to confirm that Biden’s longterm decline in SC had accelerated, maybe into a collapse. Meanwhile, Sanders had been inching up for months. By February 21, the two candidates were in a statistical tie.

But that’s not what happened on primary day, not by a longshot. The final result was that Biden did slightly better than his best poll numbers during the entire race, all the way back in November. Texas tells a similar story. In polls there, Biden appeared as though his campaign had stumbled like the Three Stooges trying to walk across a field full of rakes. And yet, he won convincingly on primary day.

Forecasting guru Harry Enten tweeted that the move to Biden in the hours — mere hours — before Super Tuesday was triple the normal bounce after a big win like South Carolina.

As Google's search howls its own bias..

Try these search terms "epstein google bias" and you will get pages of "Donald Trump Hate" and words like bogus study, false claim, etc. They can't help themselves.

But, in the midst of this, this statement by Harry Enten sticks out like a sore thumb - the swing to Biden seemed to happen in mere hours and three times as large as any prior election bounce for the equivalent events.. and you have to wonder how large a thumb was on this whole enterprise. And, you have to wonder how much effect this will have this fall if left unchecked.

Even decisively winning primaries, Sanders support was largely capped at about 35% aside from his home state and Nevada.

The story of the day yesterday was that Donald Trump got 1.9 million votes in an effectively UNCONTESTED Republican primary in Texas ... which was more votes than the top four Democrats got COMBINED.

Well, that’s new. A ridiculously expensive one too... I don’t think that will work out well for them.

“PJ Media has a paywall...”

If you can, just turn javascript off to read it, then turn it back on again when you’re done reading. Will work on all the Salem sites to show the articles.

If you listen to the news today, you get what this was worth. Everything.

The Democrat turnout was enormous.. regardless of the Trump turnout.

If Warren had not been in and the others out, Sanders would have won in 5 more states. But, something caused people to change their minds by the droves in the last hours of the campaign. Epstein explained exactly how this can be done.. and here we are seeing something that looks just like the sort of manipulation that Epstein described.

I have a technique to get past paywalls.

FRMail me if you want to know.

From what I can tell it is 100% legal and NOT a scam.

Not a big deal for me. They have to make a living too. It doesn’t work for me, but, they have to work out how to make a buck or they go away. So, no.. God bless them, they are welcome to do what they need and I won’t fight them about it.

Two ways around paywall:

1. Get Reader View https://add0n.com/chrome-reader-view.html

2. Use outline.com to view the page.
