Nobody Is Switching from Trump to Biden
Townhall.com ^ | September 7, 2020 | Kurt Schlichter

The Grandpa Badfinger Turgid Poll Lead Fact Check Test is this: Do you know anyone who has gone from supporting Donald Trump in 2016 to supporting that basement-dwelling commie puppet weirdo in 2020?

I know zero people.

I don’t mean “practically zero” or “a few.” I mean zero. Nil. None. That blank is emptier than the space between Gropey J’s ears.

Now is this scientific? Am I denying science again? You know, the science that has Trump ahead in the polls that tended to be more on-target in 2016 and a dozen points back in the mainstream media outlets’ polls that invariably support the mainstream media outlet’s political agendas? That science?

No, it’s not scientific. It’s anecdotal, but then when it comes to the mainstream media, I’d always believe an anecdote over what the media is telling me. Of course, I’d believe a guy trying to sell me magic beans if the New York Times ran a story trashing him.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on what utter garbage the mainstream media, how it is a bubbling cauldron of bovine processed pasture reeking of lies and liberalism. You won’t see any evidence of the migration away from the failed Democrat establishment there. You’ll barely see any coverage of that doddering, demented freak babbling his way through sparsely attended photo ops on the rare occasions he staggers out of his creepy sex dungeon to go visit a racist nut (BTW, Google tries really, really hard to ensure you can’t easily find stories chronicling this guy’s long history of pro-Farrakhan, anti-Semitic, anti-white, and anti-Christian idiocy).

What you’ve seen are coordinated anonymous-sourced stories designed to distract from The Botox Bloweroutter’s staggering hypocrisy, the plunging unemployment numbers, and the aforementioned evidence that Oldfinger is a mush-guzzling Matlock junkie fit not for the Oval Office but for a room upstairs where he can watch his stories in peace whilst wearing a shawl.

If only someone would write a book on the defamation agenda of our trash elite and its media gimps titled, say, The 21 Biggest Lies about Donald Trump (and You!).

But the slander flex is no longer working. The “Trump hates the vets” lie lasted about 12 hours and then died. Gone. Kaput. No one bought it, not even its purveyors. No one switched sides because of this manifest bullSchiff, except maybe toward Trump. No one said “Yeah, the party that parties with Jane Fonda is the party us vets should back.” Particularly amusing was the Democrat’s new position on the Vietnam War. They are now for it again, which completes the circle since they started it and lost it. Also hilarious was the idea you were going to make conservatives like Trump less because he said mean things about John McCain. Put that right up there with “Trump nailed Playboy playmates!” on the “This is not going to work out how you think it will” shelf.

The fact is no one is moving to Biden. No one is saying “Sure, I love Trump’s leadership in foreign policy, his rebuild of the military, his ending endless wars, his tax cuts, the economy, the regulatory reform, the protection of speech, religious and gun rights, and the conservative judges, but, you know, then The Atlantic came along and assured us that four anonymous sources implied that Trump was insufficiently reverent toward some guys who were in World War I and now I have no choice but elect the Marxist marionette who can’t keep his fingers to himself.”

No one.

No one is falling for this. The only effect is that it makes us all eager to low-crawl over the shattered glass of a thousand of Biden’s Ensure bottles to pull the lever for President Trump.

This desperate lying is not proof of strength but of weakness. And the Democrats are desperate because the wheels have come off the rickety Rascal that is the Biden campaign. The evidence is clear. Blacks are refusing to fall into line behind the Democrats and significant numbers are abandoning his sinking ship. Hispanics are rejecting Democrats. Suburbanites are realizing that electing that desiccated plagiarist with a 47-year track record of DC failure means defunded cops, hi-fived crooks, and riots in their neighborhoods. Oh, and taxes going up as their 401(k)s go down, the latter not mattering much since the Democrat platform/manifesto promises to trash their retirement savings program.

Who are the people leaving Trump? Where are they? The media trots out the same pack of rejected ex-GOP losers every few weeks under some new banner – “Republicans for Decency,” “Decent Republicans Against Trump,” “Trump-Hating Republicans for Biden and Decency,’” or “Decent Decency People of Decency Who Were Republican But Aren’t Now Because of Trump, Who Is Not Decent.” These inflatable goofs all hated Trump in 2016 for derailing their gravy train. These were the cruise ship conservatives who spent decades conserving nothing except their own tacky sinecures – and they hate him still today. They are many things, all bad, but they are not recent converts to the Democrat cult.

No one is leaving Trump for Biden. I poll folks on Twitter and masculinity-challenged libs with pronouns in their bios solemnly inform me that their parents back in Kansas who were life-long Republicans have been compelled, sorrowful at their party having lost its way, to vote for the crusty crustacean because of his horrible horribleness. But it’s pretty clear that mom and dad back in Topeka only told young Kaden this because if they told him the truth – that ma and pa were all aboard the Trump Train – he would start crying and embarrass them all over again.

You can’t believe the polls. If the media will lie about everything else, lying about a poll to help their zombie get elected is hardly a lie too far – and there is literally no other evidence supporting the notion that the Democrats might win. Biden is buyin’ air time in states all the smart people of smartness informed us were in the bag. He’s emerged from his crypt and engaged in at least the simulacrum of a campaign. His signs are nowhere to be seen while Trump signs are popping up. I even saw one on a house here in Ted Lieu’s district. But most of all, no one’s abandoning Trump.

The Democrats are in a panic. You’re seeing it when they drop stale stories “supported” by mystery sources that even carbohydrate-curious losers like Brian Stelter, who is a potato, says ought to come out and speak their lies in public. They got nothing.

We got this. We’re winning. Now let’s run up the score. Let’s take back the House (If you live in a hell district like me, give money to a guy like Army vet Sean Parnell who is running in a district we can win). Let’s see those liberal tears flow on election night!

John Bolton will disagree with the article...

Probably, but even never-Trumper Bolton agreed that the Atlantic article was BS.

They probably didn’t learn in school, because schools don’t teach history anymore.

The “Any Functioning Adult” signs make me laugh. They really think Biden is functioning more than Trump.

After a few years away at college now our own daughter has sadly bought into all this leftist garbage.

She'll outgrow it. I did. The first jolt was when the newly elected (gasp!) President Clinton accused Americans of systemic racism (though they used some other word salad to cover their tracks at that time).

Second was the day I was driving to work and flipped on some loud, brash, braying jackass called Rush Limbo. By the time I parked my car outside my workplace I was a newly minted conservative.

The true voice of conservatism, or Americanism, will always out. And the child of good, stable parents, like mine, and like you, will always find the true path.

The funny thing is there was a time Tucker was somewhat hated here on FR during his bow tie wearing days. He didn’t have his own show like now but was well known.

Yeah, thank you. Just kills you in a way to see it in the meantime!

Clinton was my wake up call too, didn’t care too much about politics in my 20’s but to hear just how ridiculous that testimony sounded plus his antics...coming from the President of the United States...

The democrats may well lose more than an election. Give Trump four more years and the democrat’s hold on legislation and entire industries will wane giving the GOP more clout.

I hope that we will someday see objective news giving two sides of the legislative issues between the parties, a pro and con viewpoint, so citizens can make up their minds with all the facts.

Looting and rioting seen as peaceful protesting IS the “Bridge Too Far” that broke their hold on the public. Well except for my next door neighbor who is hungered down afraid to come out of her basement like her wannabe presidential candidate.

Can the news media be partially held accountable for the economic damage?

Can the politicians?

Eventually we will be lawless in places where the Dem’s reign.

>>>>>>Who are the white folks backing Biden? Urban elite liberals, antifa-type radicals and LGBT. <<<<<<<

The biggest group of “white” people I see who will vote for Quid pro Joe are on the government payroll somehow. But there is a huge overlap between this group and what you listed. We continue to move to a maker/producer class and a taker class. These really have nothing to do with color or ethnicity, but is really capitalist vs socialist.

People who don’t pay much attention to politics seem to be swayed by the lying media spin they pick up each day.

I have a better sample than the author since I have few self-selected friends. Most friends are former colleagues so they span from liberal to conservative, and will vote as expected. Most neighbors are conservative, a few are liberal. But I belong to two organizations that are not political and represent a random sample.

In those groups the Biden supporters are quiet. They were vocal anti-Trump in 2016. They are still anti-Trump but embarrassed to be supporting Biden. The Trump supporters are numerous, and some are very vocal. A few Trump supporters are not happy with him. The reasons vary. One said he thought Trump should have cut off travel from Europe much sooner to stop the virus (hard to argue with that).

If people believe Trump is too vulgar or a Russian puppet or Hitler, then they already voted against him in 2016. I doubt the media has turned any Trump supporters based on those stupid stories. It's too obviously fake to sway anyone with a clue. The more subtle fake news like "Trump is going to shut down the US Postal Service" are a little more effective and seem to have fooled some people.

In 2016, you had people who would crawl through broken glass to vote for Donald Trump. You had people (feminazis and such) who would crawl through broken glass to vote for Hillary. And you had people who may have been ambivalent towards Trump, but would've crawled through broken glass to vote against Hillary.

This election, nobody is voting FOR Biden. While there'll be an anti-Trump contingent, others will vote 3rd party .. or sit the election out.

Thus the push for mail-in ballots, i.e. voting fraud.

I know several who are changing to Trump....and several others who opted for him over Hilary instead of sticking to their Party - none who flipped the other way.

If you support Trump, there would be nothing that could change your mind. If you support Biden, nothing would convince you to switch to Trump.

However, if you were unenthusiastic about Biden, you may decide to stay home. And that’s where the push for mail-in voting comes in. Make it as simple as possible for the apathetic to vote.

I hope so, but I worry Biden will get sympathy votes if Trump is seen as bullying the nice old man.
