Feehery: How Trump wins
Most political analysts believe that Joe Biden will beat Donald Trump in the coming election. They are wrong. Here are five reasons why Trump wins reelection:
1) Beating an incumbent is hard: Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama won their reelections not because they were great presidents but because they were incumbents. Reagan lost the Senate in 1982 and endured a crippling recession but still was able to bounce back to win a landslide in 1984. Clintons first two years were so bad that Democrats lost the House for the first time in 40 years. Bush blundered America into a very unpopular war in Iraq after the devastating attacks on 9/11, and yet was able to beat a hapless John Kerry in 2004. Obamas response to the fiscal crisis of 2008 was to pass an unpopular health care law while presiding over the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression and yet he was able to beat Trumps biggest critic, Mitt Romney. The power of incumbency is a huge advantage, which the current occupant of the White House is using very effectively, from handing out aid personally in places like Kenosha, to pardoning convicted prisoners who had turned their lives around, to using the bully pulpit to set the media narrative day after day.

....And thus they plant the plant for Civil War 2.
You mean the Homeland Security that just announced that White Supremacy was the greatest threat to our Republic? That Homeland Security?
I fear it is not about the vote this time, it is about the chaos. The plan is to delay the count and refuse to declare the President the winner no matter what the count. They will count on riots in the streets and somehow throws the election into the House, that is their backup plan and we don't have a defense in place. Sadly I fear Trump doesn't have the support in his administration to control the outcome as many here suppose.
Negative thinkers are always right........... or pleasantly surprised.
It does seem the left have a perfect plan to steal the coming election, but whether it will succeed depends on whether it is actually in Gods plan a divine plan for the world set in stone since the beginning of time marking periods of war, of upheavals, and of peace; and we are witnessing its unfolding everyday. In other words, nothing happens unless it is allowed to happen, so theres no need to depress ourselves with imaginings.
For better or worse, the ultimate winner in this election has to be part of that plan, even if cheating was involved. It is inconceivable for us to think why the left should even be given any power, let alone when it is achieved through dishonest means, but there is no arguing with Gods wisdom. Consider that people like to thank God for giving us President Trump, but seldom do they want to acknowledge that God also gave us the likes of Clinton and Obama, the latter didnt even appear to be eligible to be president.
So, this November 3, just like in 2016, I will be following the results as they come in with lots of anticipation but without any anxiety. Either President Trump is reelected or, the unthinkable happens but we recognize and accept Gods will always prevails and will thus find peace. This year it could be a while before we see the final tallies since a lot of chaos and mayhem and legal challenges will likely ensue, but these will all be part of the plan.
Good points about libs who were total scammers on women when they were younger (showing no respect to women).
Let’s hope for a landslide.
I feel fairly certain that there are more people for Trump now than those who voted for him in 2016.
The big problem will be Dem Voter Fraud.
AMEN!
So true.
Still, God asks us to fear not and trust in Him, and to do the right thing. I am, as part of this world, commanded to be righteous and not evil or sinful, which, by itself, is hard work!
One thing I can believe is He is deeply saddened by abortion, euthanasia, crime, robbery, murder and lies. So unless I am commanded otherwise, I’m sure not voting for the democrat party and will do my small parts to help get out the vote for Republicans.
I won’t wallow in despair and pessimism like others, believing that cheating will carry the day in November. It makes no sense to tell others they’re blind to their truth when the truth has yet to occur.
I’ll save my sadness for IF that happens.
Thanks for your reply.
Hope I didnt inadvertently reinforce the mainstream notion that God is obsessed with our sins and is upset with us and always ready to punish us for any number of things by saying He gave us Clinton and Obama. These traitorous characters were put in place to effect God’s plan for the world and were not meant as punishments.
> One thing I can believe is He is deeply saddened by abortion, euthanasia, crime, robbery, murder and lies.
It may seem counterintuitive, but God cannot be saddened by anything we do, especially when He is the one who put us in flesh knowing all its inherent weaknesses.
Beating an incumbent is hard: Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama won their reelections not because they were great presidents but because they were incumbents.
Valid premise - beating an incumbent IS hard - but poorly argued when two of your four examples, Reagan and Clinton, DID beat incumbents.
The point is, the incumbent is highly favored to win, all things being equal.
All things were not equal in 1980 - Reagan ran circles around Carter. That wasnt even a fair fight.
All things were not equal in 1992 either, but in a different way. Clinton won with a mere 43% plurality, because third party candidate Ross Perots 20% of the vote were pro business Republicans, who would otherwise have voted for Bush. Without Perot, it might well have been 67/43, an epic popular landslide for Bush.
Nobody could seriously argue that Biden vs. Trump in 2020 bears even the slightest resemblance to Reagan vs. Carter in 1980. More like Mondale vs. Reagan in 1984.
Likewise, there is no third party challenge in 2020 the likes of Ross Perot.
“Sadly, another analysis that totally omits the coming massive voter fraud aided by the leftwing SoS of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, etc...”
Well, that’s either something we need to be calling or state and local officials about, posting comments on their social media (both Twitter and facebook) and also email.
After that, it’s in the hands of the Republican Party (local and national) and the lawyers to either stop right now or be very very busy all around the country on election day.
If Election Day turns into Election Week, Election Weeks, Election Month or worse Election Months... well the loss of the republican party - how much did we really lose if they cant stand up and fight?
Right now the power is in your hands. Activism via phone, social media and emails
No doubt other states with SoS controlled by Soros will do the same - MI, WI, PA, NV...and Ohio has announced they have joined in the mass mailing of ballots.
Actually, the power is in the hands of Soros
If so, then the ultimate power is President Trump’s AG Barr to freeze Soros bank account, consider him a criminal and boycott any country harboring him and bring the man to justice. If (and I emphasize “IF” what you say is true) the buck stops at the White House and if they fail to stop Soros from interferring with US elections and the democrats win by voter fraud and Trump loses because of that failure... how much did we really lose?
Sadly, too late for that tactic.
The DNC/Communist party has been bragging about their voter fraud plans for quite some time.
That said...I expect total violence and the official start of CW2.
In Ohio, the law states that a mail in ballot must be postmarked by 3 November 2020 (election day) and received by 13 Nov 2020 - within 10 days of the election.
Expect “mostly peaceful” arsonists and looters to surround county election buildings and united states postal service locations to create opportunities for fraud.
Remember, Obama put a huge fix in for 2016 "shoo-in" Hillary.
Our entire US intel apparat was at her disposal, the media sucked-up bigtime....every Democrap in the Swamp was in on The Big Fix.
We know what that got them.....cackle.
The problem is these deaf and dumb lefties live in an isolated echo chamber.
They shut out the voices of the people and they stupidly think nobody's paying attention.
In order to impose creepy weirdos “Joe and the Ho” on America, power-hungry Democrats
raise the specter of a military coup, should Biden (gag) “win” and Trump refuses to leave the WH......
This reveals the true depths of Dems desperation: the bizarre notion that US troops
are eager and willing to risk their lives for the benefit of liberal Swamp-dwellers.
What is really odd is Dems suddenly embracing the military-industrial complex they once loathed,
as something awesome and wonderful that works to their advantage.
Democrats are sacrificing everyone because they want The Big Blue Bailout.
Well, they figure in their echo chambers that everyone hates the incumbent and that anyone could do better than him.
His opponent, Joe Biden, has threatened to "Shutdown the Country" for Covid if elected and doesn't want it to end.
Tough chose Huh?
