The Real Purpose of the Polls

I may have fallen off the pumpkin truck, but I didn't fall off yesterday. It took me a while to get the actual strategy behind these Hoax Polls.

Of course the polls are biased. Bias doesn't even begin to cover them now. But Demented Perv Biteme by 10? 12? 14??? White man, please.

It came together yesterday via several stories about "Trump Faces Landslide Defeat," "Trump Endangers Senate Majority." There were several quoting senators who were getting antsy, including senators like Mike Braun who should know better. One, but little Jim Accosted, said something like "Trump Faces Landslide Loss but Refuses to Change His Message."

Wait, what?

Then I got it. Why would little Accosted be concerned about the GOP losing its senate majority? If Trump's "tone" was so bad, why would Accosted or any other leftist want him to change it? Wouldn't the pollsters, if anything, want to make him appear competitive if he is indeed losing?

THEY WANT TO CHANGE TRUMP'S MESSAGING. Far from being ineffective, it must be deadly effective cuz they are desperate for him to get off it. That's goal #1. There is a second goal and it's an either/both situation: they want the senators to distance themselves from Trump so they can pick them off easier. Many of these senators---Gardner, McSally, for example---can ONLY win with near 100% GOP support. (McSally lost 10,000 GOP votes in 2016 to Enema).

If they can peel away the senators, the senators become sitting ducks. Isolated and without a tie to Trump, senators are far less likely to benefit from a high GOP turnout.

Then there was one more piece of evidence about how horribly off the polls are: Let's assume Demented Perv Biteme is, er, demented. Let's assume, as almost everyone does, that if elected, he'd be out in six months and his veep would take over. That makes the veep the real candidate. That makes the veep the REAL PRESIDENT very soon.

So here you are, an ambitious DemoKKKrat and you have the fast track to the presidency in less than a year.

But NO ONE wants the job. Nobody. Demented Perv Biteme can't give it away. Gee, why? After all, he's "up by 14." No. They know he's getting crushed. They know they are looking at a 320-340 or worse electoral landslide and probably a popular vote loss too.

Anyone remember William Miller? How about Ed Muskie? You wouldn't know Geraldine Ferraro except for one footnote, "First female veep candidate." NONE of these people did a thing after a crushing loss as veep. You can throw in Silky Pony after losing with Lurch in 2004.

In other words, everyone knows that the fastest road to obscurity is to lose in a landslide. You are the plague. Your political career is over.

THAT is what all these veeps see in the Biteme veep-ship. THAT is why none of them want it.

In short, the evidence tells me that the Hoax Polling is designed to get Trump to change his message; to separate the senators from him. The reluctance of any DemoKKKrat to be Biteme's running mate tells me that Trump's message is being very effective.

Florida is even now gearing up for general mail-in-voting and that tactic is not the main tactic that will be used. Big city vote overcounts will happen in all the big Democrat-ruled big cities. One such city can easily determine the election for the state if there is a Democrat governor. See Pennsylvania which has a real Trump statewide majority but overcounting in Philadelphia and Pittsburg will turn that majority into a large loss. If there is a Republican governor who doesn’t want to make a fuss the way Florida’s governor did in 2016 then the Democrats will “win” that state with no effective complaint from anyone. Republicans just roll over and hope for better results next time.

[Alas Babylon!]

So, you’ve given up, then?

Fine. You do you.

Not me. We’re gonna win!!!!!

[arthurus]

Not given up. Just pointing out what the Democrats will do and how the republicans will (not) respond. I have zero faith in the Republican Party but am expecting DJT to pull something out to get a handle on the vote. I get antsy as we get closer and there is not progress toward positive ID and one day voting and paper ballots etc, all the things we need to minimize the fraud.

Muskie was Humphrey's running mate in 1968 and at one point looked likely to be the Democrat nominee in 1972, except that the McGovern supporters had more enthusiasm. Plus there was that incident in New Hampshire where he may or may not have cried.

In all of American history, only one VP nominee on a losing ticket later came back to win the Presidency--Franklin Roosevelt (the VP nominee in 1920).

I posted upthread about the end-game for the 2020 election as far as the dims are concerned... they know they can’t beat Trump even though they will try every conceivable avenue of fraud.

Their focus is on the keeping the House and gaining the Senate. We have seen time and time again where the rats have stolen those seats at the last minute with “found” ballots.

It will be a miracle for the US for the rats not to keep the House and take the Senate this election year (and possibly the presidency) through fraud.

Keep praying!

How are you feeling, LS?

[LS]

Wasn’t me. I’m fine. Mrs LS had a small stroke. Back to 95% already. A little “dumbness” in her right hand, coming back.

She beat MS. This isn’t gonna stop her.

[mkmensinger]

Glad to hear you’re both OK. Speedy recovery to your bride!
