"Election" "Day" Minus Four
SteynonLine ^ | November 1, 2024 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 11/01/2024 5:06:13 AM PDT by Twotone

~To reprise my regular line, in these final days of the world's most interminable "election", if Trump hasn't won decisively by 11pm Eastern on Election Night, he won't win at all. He has fought a brilliant and good-humoured campaign against forces that have indicted him and convicted him and then, when neither moved the meter, shot him. The Big Mac/garbage truck phase has been like watching a fantastical novel from a faraway land in which a Friars Club comic takes down the dictatorship.

The supporting acts are pretty funny too:

JD Vance: "We actually recorded an episode of Joe Rogan this morning."

Tulsi Gabbard: "How long were you in Rogan's studio?"

JD Vance: "Almost 4 hours, so I've officially done more interview time than Kamala Harris has the entire campaign, just today." pic.twitter.com/qB7Q5Y8fWE — End Tribalism in Politics (@EndTribalism) October 30, 2024

That's true. Trump has come close to restoring the conditions of 2015-2016 - when he was the antidote to all the leaden rituals of presidential politicking: fake-o journalists reporting on fake-o candidates regurgitating fake-o canned lines. The consultant-industrial complex loathed that usurpation of the process, and were determined to restore the wanker norms. So, as I used to say to Tucker four years ago, their answer to a guy who was all candidate and no minders was to replace him with Biden, who was all minders and no candidate. And, even when they were forced to sideline ol' Joe, they managed to find an even more gaping nullity. "I grew up in a middle-class family"? Yeah, in Montreal, in a high-caste Brahmin household...

Yeah, if the Rs have the same enthusiasm as they’ve had in early voting, they’ll sweep easily as the high propensity voters (4-4) are +4% Harris. They’ve all voted already. New voters are +19% Trump and 1-4s are +12% Trump. It’s these new voters that are boosting R EV.

I did not realize he had been convicted. When did a judgement of conviction come down against POTUS Trump?

I wonder the legal nuances of Soviet-style show trial over and awaiting Soviet-style sentencing later. Is it a conviction while awaiting sentencing or does the judge still retain the power to dismiss or overturn the jury’s “verdicts” up to that point?

Like I read yesterday, Trump is not running against Harris. He’s running against the cheat.

On Glenn Beck’s radio show yesterday he talked about how the Amish are so angry about the Biden Administration’s ‘war’ against a certain farmer over his raw milk that they are coming out in a block to vote for Trump. And they are almost all new voters.

Yeah Trump has all the new and 1-4 voters. If they come out the same strength as they came out in EV, Trump will beat 320 EV. He’ll win either VA or NM or both.

I would hate to see a Harris/Walz win as this could be a real loser for the American public. We really can’t handle of this “as it has been for 4 years” crap much longer, but at the same time if they should win, I have to believe that God has a plan.

I did not realize he had been convicted.


34 felony counts in NYC for checks to pay off Stormy D. The acts themselves were misdemeanors and past the statute of limitations, but the legal theory presented was they were done to cover up a felony. Which felony? Jurors were allowed to choose from three or four.

(I believe I have that right)

I think they lose. They’ll blame black men. The problem is that EV is showing energy on the Dem side but more energy on the R side.

NC EV is 104% for D but 118% for R.

Now we just have to see the actual vote breakdown.

Hope you are wrong stein! If the counting goes on, I hope it is under extremely close supervision, AND i hope that pres Trump gets even way more votes from the late votes!

Supposedly over 100 mill have already voted, and if last election is any indication, only about 150 mil voted in last election, so that would mean only 50 mill more votes to happen on election night, with hopefully a ton more conservative votes to come
