The Electoral College Prediction That Will Leave the Left 'Terribly Shocked'
Townhall.com ^ | October 29, 2020 | Matt Vespa

We’re either right or wrong. There is no in-between here concerning the polls. These liberal outlets are oversampling Democrats, ignoring Trump Democrats, not accounting for fewer young voters turning out, and including way too many college-educated voters to craft a narrative that this country holds a D+15 electorate. It's just not true. Trump Democrats are being ignored. Rural Republicans are being bypassed. The suburban cohort of the GOP—sure. They’re the squishiest and most vocally anti-Trump of the group. At Trump’s rallies, around 25 percent of the attendees didn’t vote in 2016. Some firms haven’t even moved off from registered voter samples. It’s a trainwreck. Biden is supposedly ahead by double-digits, which his camp says is not true. They’re admitting the polls are inflated, which could also be a ploy to keep their base anxious and ready to vote. They don’t want complacency to settle in like it did in 2016. Yet, the rule hasn’t changed: never underestimate anything when Trump is on the ballot and at the top of the ticket.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is also feeling good about President Trump’s chances for re-election. Appearing on Fox News’ Sean Hannity’s show, the former speaker said that the Electoral College result will shock the Left. He has Trump clinching another Electoral College landslide, nabbing 326 electoral votes (via RealClearPolitics):


Newt Gingrich said the left is going to be shocked by a Trump victory and said an electoral map showing the incumbent president with 326 electoral votes seems right to him in an interview Wednesday night with FNC's Sean Hannity.

"He has a better likelihood than he did at this stage in 2016 when he was clearly behind and closing rapidly," Gingrich said. "The people I trust the most, the pollsters that have been the most accurate over the last 5 or 6 years who seem to understand the dynamics of the age of Trump."

"I saw today the first electoral college map that made sense to me and it showed Trump at 326 electoral votes plus," Gingrich said. "I think that is probably about right. I think the left is going to be terribly shocked."

[…]

"I think every day that Biden hides and Trump goes out and campaigns, the psychological message being driven to the American people is really deeper than just ideology or partisanship," Gingrich said. "It says one guy has the guts, the willingness, the toughness to actually be out here, taking on things including Covid. The other guy is hiding, frightened, hoping the news media will save him because he can't possibly save himself."

One side will be eating a lot of crow next Tuesday night. We all bank on it being Biden and his crew. And I think Newt’s prediction is about right, but taking off my MAGA hat, I can see this swinging the other way toward Biden as well. I just cannot believe the polls right now. They’re all over the place, and the early vote totals which usually trend toward Democrats aren’t trending so favorably toward Biden, especially in key states like Florida

Still, even with the hesitations here, I feel like we’ll be drinking up a lot of liberal tears next week.

I have seen this NJ poll number thrown around frequently in here (NJ Biden 48/Trump 45). Is that really from a Rasmussen state poll or just the silly DarthVader “internal poll” numbers thrown around. I would think if there was a semi-legit* poll with Trump within 3 in NJ then we would not be worrying about anything in any state.

There are a lot of dumb voters around here, San Francisco Bay Area. Some I've talked to, say they're undecided. What? If you're that stupid that you're undecided, then you shouldn't vote! If I don't know anything about the people on the ballot for minor city or county offices, I leave it blank and don't pick any. That's for minor offices. For a President pick, that is serious stuff - you can't randomly pick one or the other.

And some I've talked to that are undecided, said they were leaning Bernie Sanders. I said "oh, the socialist/communist". They act so surprised. These are middle class landlords and people with property. As I said, stupid. Then they'll say Biden. Until I tell them what an idiot, do-nothing, and corrupt goon. "Oh, I didn't know...". Stupid! People - if you're stupid, don't vote at all!

This is what could steal the election from Trump. I'm praying that he wins re-election. Otherwise, we're headed for more stupidity in our nation.

By now, all three of those could flip. The rats have systems set up in PA... and always Miami-Dade.... but not everywhere. If NJ flips early, then watch PA cheating... flat out... give up.

Governors don't control how their citizens vote.

It doesn't matter who votes. What matter is how votes are counted. It also matters if vote fraud is guaranteed to never be successfully prosecuted.

If the lines are as long as anticipated, they won’t have time to travel to too many precincts.

The battlecry all the way back to the time of impeachment was: “REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!!!”
Well, it’s here and a whole bunch of us folks haven’t forgotten. If anything, we’re even more fired up.
Not a single vote for any RAT anywhere for anything at any time...nada...not even dogcatcher.

Drinking liberal tears? Who the hell would want to drink anyone’s bodily fluids? Whoever dreamed up this expression is a disgusting jerk.

IIRC it was Stalin who once said that it's not who *casts* the votes,it's who *counts* them.

I lost all confidence in the American voter in 1992.

How do you explain 2016?

The problem is logistics, it takes a lot of effort to correct 5,000 ballots, it is time consuming but that can work in close elections, and the rats have this down pat. But how do you correct 500,000 ballots?

And by correct, I mean sign, fill out what isn’t done correctly and making sure they voted for the ‘rats.

It is a lot of work to do.

Can they do it?
