A Trump 'surprise' victory is in the offing -- here are the 10 tea leaves pointing to it

As November 3 approaches, many prognosticators are trying to convince Americans that former Vice President Joe Biden is a lock to win the presidency. Of course, they said the same about Hillary Clinton's chances in 2016 and it didn’t come to pass. Just as in 2016, there are tea leaves, if you will, indicating that President Trump will win again.

Here are ten of those tea leaves

My town is very conservative (with more Trump signs than street signs) but I do drive a couple of days of week through a town that sounds like yours, with _exactly_ the same situation as you described—many more total signs than 2016, more for Biden, but a lot of Trump signs too when there were no Trump signs in 2016.

My state is CT which is a lost cause for Republicans, but it is nice to see the Trump supporters are not afraid to show their standard Trump signs/flags and also other creative hand made signs (latest one was “Say No to Quid Pro Joe”).

You are welcome. I started do this about 4 years ago.
There are about 6 of us that work, 3 Republicans and 3 Democrats. We all get along really well. And if ballots get stuck in the machine, I open the bin with a Republican and Democrat present. All machine counts are verified by a Republican, a Democrat, and me.

I live in St George county in Florida...goes red every election. I see only 1 Biden sign, and no Trump signs at all in my sub-division community of 300 newer homes.

It’s not going to be a surprise.

It will be to the Marxist Media which has again diluted itself into believing the polls. I can't wait to watch them scream and cry again.

All we see is Trump signs, flags, Trump train with hundreds of vehicles traveling from Magnolia Texas to The Woodlands Texas.

The only place I've seen Biden/Harris signs...just a few at that is a black part of town in Brenham Texas.

Other than that....just oodles of Trump stuff everywhere.

Nonsense.

2000 was in the courts because it was so close.
Bush had 246 vs. Gore’s 250, without Florida’s 25.
Whoever won Florida would be President.
Florida itself was so close it merited recounts.

There is always funny business, but funny business doesn’t throw an election UNLESS IT IS VERY CLOSE.

There is no reason to believe the 2020 election will be that close - and plenty of reasons to believe it will not:

1) This is a re-election - they are rarely close - the incumbent wins big.
2) Look at the enthusiasm gap in 2020 - there’s nothing close about it.
3) Biden is too old and senile to be POTUS, and he’s hiding from the public.
4) Biden has just been hit with a devastating October surprise.

We will know who won when we go to bed Nov 3 - even if the ABCNNBCBS fake news refuses to call a few swing states - even if the Biden campaign refuses to concede for a few days.

We will sleep soundly on election night.

Mark my words...one side or the other is gonna challenge the count in every battleground state from the morning on 11/4. Think back and you'll recall that ILLary telegraphed that plan not long ago when she warned Plugs not to concede under *any* circumstances.

It will only surprise those who were surprised four years ago.

"Do not, DO NOT, become complacent about this election. I live in a very conservative area, and I am seeing a very large number of Biden/Harris signs, way more than Hillary! signs in the last election."

I am in NC this week and when traveling through conservative areas that had lots of trump signs in 2016, I could count on 1 hand this time 😕 I hope it's out of fear, given the behavior of deranged democrats over the past 4 years. There's no way I would display a sign or bumper sticker in this climate.

A solid list.
At this stage, even Slow Joe should know he is going to lose. I am seeing more and more articles in the fake news media about a possible Trump “surprise” win. Trump just exudes confidence.

it’s interesting to see fox use the “tea leaves” description: that’s exactly how i’ve been explaining it myself to fellow Trump-supporters in my orbit ...

“just 46 percent of Biden voters in a recent Pew poll said that they strongly support him, compared to 66 percent of Trump’s base”

yeah, right, only 66% ... no F-ing way: most polls show 96% enthusiasm of the base

and i don’t believe the 46% enthusiasm of the base for biden for even a minute given the single-digit turn out for biden, jill, bernie, et. al. “rallies” ...

“Biden’s only hope is that Democrats miraculously overcome their fear of corona-virus and show up at the polls on election day in unprecedented high numbers—very, very unlikely.”

ESPECIALLY given the complete lack of enthusiasm by the Dems for biden, which includes information from several polls and the single-digit “turnout” for EVERY biden/jill/bernie “rally” ...

“Think back and you’ll recall that ILLary telegraphed that plan not long ago when she warned Plugs not to concede under *any* circumstances.“

It doesn’t matter what Hillary Clinton says - she is a nobody. She doesn’t have any standing - even in the Democrat party.

Besides, we don’t need a concession - we don’t need the fake news to “call it”.

Mark MY words - concession or no concession - you will sleep like a baby election night, knowing we are safe for another four years.
