“If Trump doesn’t win PA it’s over”

Bush won TWICE without PA, and without Michigan, Wisconsin, or Minnesota. All states that Trump may well win, since he’s the first Republican actually fighting for WHITE VOTES.

So I wouldn’t be so simplistic about a single state.

Confirming what I’ve been saying for quite a while- “It’s going to be a Trump landslide.”

What I can't quite get my head around are the rank and file, female federal employees that I know who very quietly support Trump.

That’s not even close to being true.

If Trump does win PA it’s over.

So tell me, how did this EVER happen?

According to someone (now who might that be?), this was simply impossible........

It's why we had to be against Trump, he could never beat her. Not EVER.

The margin of cheat in Pennsylvania is so high, I suspect a 15 point lead might be necessary to overcome it.

...
I dont think Q polls are that accurate... If I remember correctly they had Rombot winning a week before...

The last Q poll the week before the 2012 electiom showed Obama leading in the key swing states of Ohio, Florida and Virginia.

Rombot was winning until he botched the last debate and Christie Man-hugged Obama after that Hurricane.

ok, I tend towards pretty extreme pessimism.

But I’ll say this: if Trump wins Pennsylvania, I don’t see how Clinton can win.

thanks for that review.

just to try to remember a bit of context on these polls, we shouldn’t forget that Rasmussen had Romney up by a point or two nationally in its final poll.

“Trump will need a very large margin. They will cheat. This may come down to a few counties in a few states. Be on guard pubbies!”

“They WILL cheat” needs to be repeated over and over until enough honest people are motivated to get involved in every polling place across the country. We MUST have honest people working as election clerks, election judges, and challengers. It is just far too tempting for the libtards to cheat when there isn’t somebody there to call them on it. They can’t help themselves and they actually think themselves very ‘clever’ because in their minds they are only doing a public service, balancing out all the missing votes for libtard candidates the republicans have suppressed. After all, Hillary SHOULD be president and those not ‘intelligent’ enough to see that shouldn’t be allowed to vote in the first place.

We cannot count on the election being any sort of landslide for Trump. This election is far too important to allow the libtards to have any polling places where they can get away with their fraud and cheating unhindered by the lack of presence of an honest poll worker or challenger. All FReepers MUST get involved your local election process if you haven’t already done so. It is foolish to think that we can just trust libtard poll workers to give us honest election results in the absence of anybody there to call out their fraud. For those who have not done so, contact your Republican Party chairman and/or your county clerk and tell them you want to be a polling place clerk or election judge. If those positions are filled, ask to be a poll watcher or poll challenge. If we have watchers and challengers in every precinct across the country, especially in democrat strongholds, it will make it far harder for the libtards to get away with saying there was 110% voter turn out and every one of those voted for Hillary.

There isn’t some army of angels to rely upon to keep the election honest. It’s up to YOU to get involved to ensure they cannot get away with their cheating. I know most people reading this already are aware of all this, but for those who have not gotten involved in OUR electoral process, this election is the time to do so. We can campaign for Trump and convince our friends, family, and neighbors all to vote for him until we’re blue in the face, but if we leave it up to the libtards to count our votes unhindered from any oversight, they can steal the election for Hillary!

Rant-off....

Brilliant statement. That’s why I will keep calling for him and ALL of us need to donate anything, 5 10, whatever to him.

And get absentee ballots for any eldelry who can’t get to polls, and get friends to vote!!!

The country is a total mess. People are starting to decide that they don’t want 8 more years of this chaos.

“I understand you have your reservations about me but picture America under St. Hillary for the next eight years.”

He won't do that. The HRC people tried it with him and it backfired. Trump is presenting himself as a winner. Trump's a sales guy, and will not get people to "think past the sale" in the wrong direction. He's teaching everyone else to occasionally slip and call him "President Trump", and to picture him in presidential terms even if they try to make it negative.

Counterintuitive as it may be, telling people to "imagine" President Hillary Clinton actually helps her.

Add to this yesterday’s Monmouth IA poll showing Trump +2 in IA, a state Republicans won only once in last four elections, and Cankles is in huge trouble.

The stakes literally are high with this election.

This is an existential matter now. Eight more years of liberalism run amuck will destroy us.

I know what you mean. If Philly can get a 120% turnout, why not a 220% turnout? Still, I don't think the inner city minorities will come out for HRC the way they did for Obama. I also believe that lunch pail union guys, including those who sometimes participate in shenanigans, are a bit drawn to Trump's trade policy and the idea of building stuff.

Trump will spend money on infrastructure, but it will be for useful stuff, like a redone JFK. We'll still spend the money, but we will get something for it.
