How did Joe Biden pull it off?
American Thinker ^ | 01/02/2021 | Silvio Canto Jr.

Posted on 01/02/2021 9:48:04 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The election was two months ago, and I'm still waiting to hear about a Democrat who beat a GOP candidate in a competitive election.  On the contrary, none of the Democrats who won in 2020 have a reason to send Joe Biden "a thank you" card.

There are many reasons to be skeptical about this election, but the lack of "coattails" tops my list.  This is from Victoria Taft:

Stories about President Trump's weak coattails were legion before the election. His likability was questioned and still is, but, what ho! Look what actually happened.

After the usual midterm 2018 thrashing for the president in power (George W. Bush and FDR are the only presidents who added seats during the midterms), Republicans made up some of those losses in congressional races and statehouses across the country in 2020.

Ballotpedia reports that while Democrats won 222 seats to Republicans' 212, the GOP unexpectedly flipped 14 seats from D to R compared to three seats for the D's.

Among the claw-backs were four California seats lost in the 2018 election to the new "ballot harvesting" measures Democrats put into effect. Trump didn't come to California to hold rallies but did he did come to fundraise.

The candidates won on the backs of law and order (sound familiar?) and opening up the economy. They were Trump messages without the man. And Republican Michelle Steel is already working on getting Governor Gavin Newsom to change his disastrous tax and law and order policies that have made California so unpopular that people are fleeing in droves and the state could lose a congressional seat.

Republicans expanded their "trifecta" of governor's mansions and state houses by two and possibly three, according to Ballotpedia. Alaska is still tallying the votes, believe it or not.

All I saw was Ruby Freeman GETTING THE VOTES OUT.

I used to think, “oh well, Californians are just more liberal….”

I now realize, that’s only very marginally true. Its ELECTORAL FRAUD which not only maintains the Left in power, it gives them an even greater concentration of power, even as the state collapses and population flees.

Read the rest of the post.

Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are one thing. Arizona and Georgia never should have been as close as they were.

And for all the talk about Biden having no coattails, let’s keep in mind that the Senate races across the U.S. pretty much reflected the results of the presidential race in all cases except one. GOP Senate candidates generally lost in the states Trump lost, and won in the states he won. The lone exception was Susan Collins in Maine, who has been far from a conventional Republican in the Senate over the years.

“Biden pulled it off”

Unless “Biden” is shorthand for “Deep State”, no way do I give Biden credit for engineering the fraud.

What’s flagrantly missing from the fraud story are names of individuals that ordered the fraud. Seems like Lin Wood, Rudy Guliani, Sidney Powell, and the others, would have given equal attention to who the perpetrators were, not just what the suspicious acts were.

Biden did very little to aid his own cause in this campaign. The 'Rats were smart enough to keep a short leash on him. When he wandered off their plantation, they clamped the lid down. He was not an attractive candidate. The first debate showed him to be a vindictive, mean, spiteful old man. So he was banished to his basement for a goodly part of the campaign.

As for the other cheats pulled off by the 'Rats, those you mentioned, and others, they have been doing that for years. They know that the Constitution empowers the states to control the mechanics of how their elections are conducted, and that any wrongdoing has to be corrected by the states. That's why plots like the Soros-backed Secretary of State project were implemented. They want to control the machinery of the elections. The federal government cannot do that. All the USSC can do is rule on whether or not the state followed their own laws and procedures. They will not order specific remedies or overturn results. They'll kick it back to the states and the elected 'Rat officials will either do nothing or play the "bring me a rock" game.

The difference this year that I have noticed is that the 'Rats are just brazenly, in-your-face about their cheating, and contemptuous of any challenge to their shenanigans. They don't care that we know they are cheating. They know that we know and they just say to hell with you, because the courts won't change anything, and the 'Rats control the election process in many areas where they must win, and win big. Have you heard anything yet on why the counting was stopped in the middle of the night in those must-win places, and observers were physically removed from their places? I haven't. They know we know its fishy and stinks to high heaven, but they just kick us in the nuts and laugh it off.

Here is the problem:

Votes for Biden were registered voters.

You and I know that they did not mail in a ballot, request an absentee nor go to the voting booth.

But they voted.

So, go do a forensic investigation, but every vote will be matched to a registered voter.

How do you prove they did not go out an vote?

Are you going to ask a registered Democrat to tell the public that they did not actually cast their vote when “their man” won?

Are you going to demand an end to secret ballots by interrogating every voter to testify if they voted or not?

Let’s start with COVID hysteria. The type found right here on the formerly Free Republic. The type that had bogus “case fatality” rates and hockey stick death count charts. Then Fearpers who where already at home collecting monthly government checks decided they would support lockdowns in the name of their personal safety. They decided to sacrifice the liberty of others in some vain attempt to protect themselves.

Once the tyrannical governors realized that even so called staunch conservatives were fleeing to their arms for protection they enabled the destruction of ballot integrity. Numerous laws were ignored waived or changed to support a “safe” election. At the point many Fearpers had no logical or credible objection since they had already endorsed tyranny.

I say a part of Free Republic enabled this travesty.

As an original “FluBro” I may be bitter and holding a grudge.

Democrats could only cheat in districts they controlled tightly.

In those districts, every registered voter submitted a ballot whether they wanted one or not.

Those ballots voted for Biden and the statewide offices (Senate races)

That is why the GOP did so well in congressional races, and state houses, but did poorly at the state level and national level.

Biden's CCP handlers pulled it off by coordinating with Democrats and Republicans like McConnell and all the corrupt Republican-run states. Biden can barely pull his shoes off ...

Biden (or rather this campaign staff) ran an incredibly aggressive, well-oiled and well-funded campaign. They completely controlled the election narrative and were the only game in town for much if not most of the nation. Most of the nation saw Biden cast as a strong, forceful leader - man of integrity and accomplishment with a bold, positive vision for the country. This message was not contested on many of the media outlets they targeted. Biden’s campaign didn’t just run these ads in targeted media markets - they also aired them nationwide.
They specifically targeted voters who did not vote for either Trump nor Hillary in the previous election. If you look at the data, Trump actually *increased* his support nationwide - not just in raw votes, but in percentage vs. 2016. Likewise, the same thing happened in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona - he got more votes, *and* a greater percentage of the vote in all of those states than he did in 2016. The targeting of the those who voted off in 2016 paid off in big ways.

Trump’s campaign was inept and did not even try to respond. Trump himself was very aggressive in getting out the base. He could not have done what he personally did any better. But his campaign was pitiful in comparison to Biden’s.

This race was lost in September. I do indeed believe there was fraud - but this race would not have been close enough for fraud to make a difference with an actual campaign message to not only tell Trump’s extensive record of accomplishment, but also combat the false picture that Biden was painting of himself. Allowing your opponent complete control of the narrative and not telling your own story is not a recipe for electoral success.

Actually some not taking the matter as seriously as it deserved and getting in front of the narrative from the very beginning is what may have contributed.

The lies and stupidity of (some) the “flubros” were of no help. This opened the door for the Left to take control of this narrative as well as the agenda to use as a political weapon and enact agendas supposedly about preventing a pandemic but were really an opportunity for taking control, and then they lied about the reality of the (very) aggressive steps the Trump Administration was taking to defeat this pandemic. We should have owned this narrative from the beginning and supported the President...but instead stupid crap like “scamdemic”, “no worse than the common cold” and other such nonsense permeated. And the lies and stupidity continue today - witness those claiming the vaccine “genetically modifies” those who take it. Literal insanity.

It’s much easier to do that for them - their districts are more tightly populated - a single car going around collecting ballots can reach a lot more people in a much smaller geographic space. A GOP car would have to travel hundreds of miles to do the same.

Biden is being used to get the Presidency back. After that, he is not worth much to the Democrat Party.

He didn’t pull it off. The powers that be, those who pull his puppet strings are the ones who did it. And they will be the ones to dictate legislation as well.

They do not need a car to collect ballots....they just take the registration list and fill out the ballots for them.

In 2012, there were precincts in Philadelphia where nobody saw voters showing up to vote....but they voted 100% to 0% for Obama.

Reason?

Votes were cast on behalf of the registered.....and the registered do not complain when their guy wins.

...Trump was holding rallies in Arizona and Georgia in the last days of the campaign. That should have been seen as an indication that they knew damn well he could lose those two states on merit.

Or...

He expected to win and could afford to stump for the Senate races.

Remember, this was McSally in Arizona and Loeffler in a special election in Georgia, two races the GOP was hoping to save.
