Trump camp: Turnout models confirm momentum shift to president, undercut Dems' 'Red Mirage' script
JustTheNews ^ | 11/03/2020 | Carrie Sheffield

The Trump campaign on Monday said its internal voting turnout models
show President Trump with robust victories in the battleground states
of Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada. They also
said that if Trump wins enough votes on Tuesday evening, then he will
declare victory — regardless of claims by Democrats.

Beyond internal polling, further external evidence shows a growing
momentum shift toward Trump in the last 10 days, accelerating through
the final weekend: tightening polls in battleground states where Trump
had trailed, along with surprising GOP strength in early voting results
and polls showing late breakers tilting toward Trump.

...
Trump campaign officials also said the Biden campaign is preparing
election-night messaging saying that a so-called "Red Mirage" —
an apparent Election Night Trump victory — will eventually succumb
to a "Blue Wave," through counting of ballots still in the mail,
provisional ballots and court challenges.

"We know that they're going to start using the phrase 'Red Mirage,'"
Tim Murtaugh, Trump 2020 campaign manager, told reporters Monday.
"We know that they're going to start throwing up the smokescreen
imagining postal delays and claiming that — falsely claiming — that
simply because they mailed out ballots to voters that have not
come back yet that those votes — which have not been cast —
should be counted. "All sorts of different shenanigans like that."

“They need to have the CNN announcers on a suicide watch.”

Do you mean something like a pay-per-view channel to watch while those lying CNN snakes commit hari-kari tonight?

Where do I sign up?

Very hopeful. Actually, my biggest fear is that Trump pulls off wins in most of the states people are discussing, but somehow loses Texas.

I know that is a stupid fear. But it worries me that they exceeded their 2016 vote count before today even started. Who are all these new voters? Are they more republicans we found and got registered, or are they new people from New York and California?

Anyway, hopefully this is not the case.

I think a significant part of this that almost no one is mentioning is this:

I’ve discussed the election with a lot of associates who up until 10 days ago DID plan to vote for Biden. To my shock, many have revealed they voted for Trump after all. Why?

What I’ve heard most is that they think Biden “goes too far trying to help everyone” (i.e. they don’t like the proposed socialist utopia). They don’t really understand that socialism helps no one but the powered “elites” but they still oppose it in any event.

Gives me a lot of hope that even some of the people who might vote Dem aren’t wanting the Bernie-AOC team’s socialist dream.

Nah. I can’t stand even to look at them. :-)

The truth:

Biden's accelerating dementia just could not be ignored. And Kamala was not an acceptable replacement for them.

Agreed. Don’t want to get too overconfident. Yet, it’s apparent the president is in a much stronger position today than he was as Candidate Trump in 2016.

Come on, cut Joe Biden’s husband, Joe Biden, some slack.

I don’t doubt there was a some type of shift...there are many undecideds and indies out there and I believe Trump’s stamina with two weeks solid of rallies may have been the nudge they needed...that and Biden’s gaffes and Hunter’s laptop info (though not covered by MSM, still cast a pall over the candidate)

I also watched Trump over the last few weeks of the campaign. He made an oh-so-subtle shift, becoming more Presidential and less bombastic. That likely won over some of those wavering suburban women for him.

I want to caution everyone. Election days have their ebbs and flows. I remember years when it looked bad for Republicans early, only to have them be victorious.

Not trying to be a wet blanket. I am starting to feel good, but we still need to keep an even keel here. If for no other reason, but to maintain sanity.

*Cook County, IL* (aka Chicagoland) polling had the GOP DA within 7 points of the incumbent, Kim Foxx.

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3895987/posts

This is a county where no GOP candidate had lost by less than 40% (i.e. D - R votes) in the past 20 years. If this poll is accurate and even remotely reflective of what’s happening in IL, seismic changes are in store for today, and not in a good way for IL Democrat pols.

It the change is seismic I’d really like to see that Kim Klacic win her House race in Baltimore.

We want to see the Rats put out of their misery. They’re scurrying desperate to keep the election going.

It appears if everyone goes out and votes, they will fail.

Trump 2020!
