From Breitbart today:
“ An estimated 1,000 Donald Trump supporters had already gathered in freezing temperatures Friday morning just hours before a scheduled 1:00 p.m. rally in Waterford Township, Michigan.”

The NRO writer ought to read up a little about his subject.

No clue

“Further, pollsters may not be able to account for this.”

Of course they can’t account for it. If so many will not even admit their support for the President how on earth can it be measured? The only possible way it can be gauged at all is by the public support shown at his rallies.

People feel safe at his rallies because of the perceived safety in the sheer numbers of like minded people.

One has to have an IQ under 70 to vote for Biden!

I generally don’t use office titles, outside military ranks, in my personal writing. Political leaders are citizens, equal under the law to me and everyone else.

Remember about 10-12 years ago when then California Senator Barbara Boxer had a snit fit during a hearing when she was called “Ma’am” instead of “Senator”? I believe Mr. Trump recognizes he is just a citizen, albeit one with a tough, thankless, public job, and would not be offended by a polite “Mister” or “Sir.”

“There is still time for both candidates to blow this thing. We’ll find out soon. “

Barring one of the candidates committing a monumental faux pas such as crapping himself on the podium in these last days, this election has already been determined as far as the voters preference. We just haven’t yet seen the results.

Strange looking old beater of a pickup with two sleeper-type toppers lashed to the bed, parked in front of the only laundromat in town.

I went in to clean as this is my job. Grizzled old-timer in there doing laundry. He said that if he got his laundry done today he wouldn't have to do it again until June.

Well this is an interesting character I thought. So I struck up a conversation and asked him about the impending election.

If Trump wins, I won't be scared, he stated. But if Biden wins I'm going to sell every thing.

Old timers know it all.

Sorry, the President is unique (and he is the commander in chief of the armed forces), and he is properly accorded the title President.

Even the Kenyan Obama warranted that title as the chosen representative (a big mistake) of the American people.

“Bro just because you feel that way about Trump, don’t project it onto other FReepers.”

Echo! And the person who scribbled those thoughts for a paycheck deserves whtever ‘leader’ that results, because morons like that don’t deserve to vote. For someone to go the ‘Math is Hard’ route and not see any particular differences, ESPECIALLY with these two polar opposites, is bad enough to think and say, much less write it down for all to see how stupid one can be. Wondering here if this person fights gravity.

How the hell does an illiterate stupid enough to admit he’s illiterate get a job writing?

I thought he wrote he was innumerate.

Try this:

In my personal writing I generally don't use office titles outside of military ranks.

Less choppy and less stuffy than your style.

Also, political leaders are citizens, yes, but they can also have legitimate titles. When some 60,000,000+ citizens vote for another citizen to be President of the United States, the least you could do is honor the decision of those people by using the title that goes with the office.

Biden is the weakest Democratic candidate in a generation.

All the idiotic “experts” will figure this out _after_ the election.

Literacy includes the ability to compute.

You have to have it to “blow it.” Grandpa Groundhog has never “had it” to blow. He has never generated any enthusiasm and offers nothing the majority of voters want so how has he ever been ahead except in fake polls?

Thanks for the article. I think the guy was warning the “Never Trumpers” over at National Review and beyond, that, as with Hillary, all the presumptions from the left that Biden is a lock in don’t pan out when everything is considered.

I found the writing style reminded me of a Dave Barry piece, very tongue in cheek, and it made me chuckle at his analogies.

I stopped reading after “ so nothing I have to say can possibly have any value whatsoever.”
