Even CNN's Reporting in Pennsylvania Does Not Look Good For Biden
Townhall ^ | 10/27/2020 | Leah Barkoukis

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s pledge to “transition away from the oil industry” at the final presidential debate was one of the best gifts he could’ve given to Republicans ahead of the election. President Trump hit him hard for it during his rallies in Pennsylvania, and rightly so—the state relies heavily on the industry.

"I want to begin today by discussing an issue of existential importance to Pennsylvania. Very, very important. Last week Sleepy Joe Biden made perhaps the most shocking statement ever uttered in the history of presidential debates. In other words, he blew it," Trump said. "Joe Biden confirmed his plan to abolish the entire U.S. oil industry. That means no fracking, no jobs, no energy for Pennsylvania families, Texas, all the others."

He continued: "The Biden energy shutdown would inflict deep pain and misery on Pennsylvania. Mass layoffs, constant black outs and brown outs, soaring gas prices. It's nice to have that $2 gasoline isn't it? Surging energy bills, no air conditioning during the summer, no heat during the winter and no electricity during peak hours.”

Pennsylvania voters are paying close attention and told CNN “they will not survive if fracking does not exist,” correspondent Vanessa Yurkevich reported.

"President Trump has a more clear perspective on keeping fracking going with minimal regulations where Biden in the past and through the campaign has kind of gone back and forth on what he wants to do,” Emanuel Paris, a senior project manager at a contracting company, told the network.

Sharlo Tkalcevic, owner of a bar and grille in the state, told CNN, "It’s almost like a domino effect and it could just be disastrous in my eyes if you know, first a pandemic and then fracking is banned."

Yurkevich said the majority of voters CNN spoke to “say they will be supporting President Trump this time around because they do feel like his message is a little clearer and will be good for their livelihoods and their future.”

Democrats tend to be more afraid of Covid, tend to encourage fellow Democrats to vote by mail, and of course, who plans to use this method to “find” votes during the last minute if things don’t go their way.

Republicans ( who are conservative, as in want to preserve what works ) DISTRUST this novel way of voting and tend to go personally to vote.

That is how I see this chart of yours.

Inclusion of the bogus polls that over sample democrats. The Biden is ahead by 10,12,15 points results that even the Biden campaign disavows, sharply skew the average result

I agree.

Not sure how to quantify it, but my theory is that people who commit election fraud are opportunistic and risk averse - therefore the fraud is never organized enough to be massive.

Having said that, there are coordinated efforts to create the opportunity for fraud - the obvious examples being laws that extend deadlines or lower verification standards.

But when it comes to tossing bags of Trump votes in the river or into a dumpster - that is purely opportunistic - and therefore isolated. If you get caught you go to jail - such activities will not be organized.

The problem with election day voting this year is they will have all the COVID rules that will extend the lines and discourage in person voting.

Was hoping Trump would bring that up in the debate when old Joe started hyping solar. The left is looking for 2 things with the green energy BS: control over people and making huge money off the coerced changes.

Honestly, I believe if the Rats told their supporters to commit suicide to save the world, many of them would do it. They are that stupid and gullible.

I predict Pennsylvania will go for Trump on election night, but as the fraudulent mail in votes come in afterwards it will go to Biden.

Yes, without signature matching there's literally no way to know if an incoming ballot is legitimate.

PRESIDENT TRUMP EXTRAPOLATES BIDEN'S DEBATE SHOCKER FOR PENNSYLVANIANS:

"He made perhaps the most shocking statement by a candidate ever uttered in the history
of presidential debates. Biden exhibited his contempt for America and Americans; his plan
to abolish the entire US oil industry impacts some 100 related industries.

"The Biden energy shutdown would inflict deep pain and misery on Pennsylvania:
<><> massive layoffs for struggling Pennsylvanians,
<><> constant black outs and brown outs,
<><> soaring gas prices decimating Pennsylvania's family budgets,
<><> surging energy bills means less money for families' food and shelter,
<><> no air conditioning during the summer,
<><> no heat during the winter
<><> no electricity during peak hours.”

Abolishing the entire US oil industry means:
<><> no fracking
<><> (fracking made America the number one oil exporter),
<><> no oil industry jobs; job losses in some 100 related industries,
<><> no energy for Pennsylvania families, and for the rest of us."

Fox has made an editorial decision that they’re going to follow the MSM “Biden is ahead” narrative. Even this morning they’re pumping the contaminated RCP average in support of the notion that Trump is trailing significantly across the board

:::::::

Supposedly Frank Luntz begins their polling . Funny how they are now using the RCP averages . May be because their 2 focus groups following debate both saw Trump as winner.

I’ve been telling you since the beginning. Short of massive and I mean massive unprecedented levels of fraud, not the typical high philly fraud, but a whole new lever of fraud PA is going Trump. I expect in the 2-3% range on the low end.

That decision is going to be overturned with ACB on the court.
The GOP already refiled yesterday.

NY Times, bastion of the Dems, looked at their own NYT/Siena poll of PA and admitted yesterday that they see Biden under-performing Clinton by 10% (73% to 83%) in dark blue Philly. They also realized that Potus is over-performing his 2016 exit polls in Philly. This is very bad news for Biden since Trump won PA in 2016 while doing badly in Philly, only because he won rural counties. If Potus is over-performing in Philly and Biden is under-performing there, and the rurals come in for Trump the same as 2016, Biden has not much chance. That’s what is implied here.

How many people showed up at the democrat rally in Philly?
Were free things given out? (er, did they riot and loot and burn) or was it unattended?

There’s also the 2 other big cities of Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. It will not be contained in Philadelphia this time. Pennsylvanians better be alert.

Since Fox polls are about the worst polls on the planet, it don’t make much difference if they use RCP averages or not. They are both worthless.
I don’t watch Fox daytime TV anyways.
Just concentrate on Tucker Laura, Levin etc.

I think 10 people showed up.

Four card-carrying Communists.

Three pimps looking for babes.

Two escapees from an insane asylum.

And a paid assassin.

conservatives will not be discouraged... conservatives have not bought into the politicization of COVID-19... liberals have...

“The problem with election day voting this year is they will have all the COVID rules that will extend the lines and discourage in person voting.”

I agree. My understanding is that they are SLOWLY disinfecting every station in between each voter. Old people volunteering at these polling stations work very slowly.

People might give up waiting and go home, or not be able to vote by 8 pm.

I’m going to give early voting a try (starts Thurs for me), and if it looks ridiculous there too and on Fri and Sat I’ll just turn in my ballot in a drop box instead by Sat.

I think Election Day will be a sh—show of lines due to covid stuff and I hate waiting in line.
