More Evidence That Trump’s
Silent Majority Is Real

When President Trump insisted last month that his supporters included a substantial silent majority that isn’t represented in the polls, the Democrats and the corporate media devoted a surprisingly large amount of energy to “debunking” the claim. Indeed, their reaction was so shrill and ubiquitous that they seemed, to paraphrase Hamlet’s hapless mother, to be protesting too much. A new poll released Wednesday by the Cato Institute suggests a reason for this frantic reaction to Trump’s assertion. The survey of 2,000 Americans 18 years of age and older unambiguously indicates that the reluctance of moderates and conservatives to share their political views has increased significantly since 2017.

Average Americans have had enough of the political shenanigans. I really think the Democrats and the media are going to be stunned after the election.

Refusing to answer the pollster is part of the subterfuge in this battle for America. This time they will be even more shocked than when Hillary lost, because of the margin of loss

Vigilant Always. We keep our counsel. Cold, calculating anger. We will speak in a thunderous voice. Waiting, patiently and quietly.

Shhhhhh, don't let the cat out of the bag too early. We want to see that media-wide crying jag again, a repeat of 2016. Maybe this time there will be fainting, holding of breath and stomping of feet.

I certainly hope this is right. I know where I live, Trump is King. I don't have a fear of saying I support him and I see Trump Flags proudly flying from 20ft flag poles in my community. Yes, there are a few here who hate Trump, and they will try to convert us, but we just smile and walk away. If, and when, Trump wins on Nov 3rd, I would love to send the Headline to my son-in-law and my granddaughter who are so smug right now. Both are fire and brimstone preachers on why Trump is the Devil. I won't say a word on Nov 3rd, but they will have to see the smile on my face when I see them in person! They will know what it's there for!

As you stay silent, the Left rages on. Well by golly, you just wait til Nov and we get Trump as our POTUS..... wait, he already IS our POTUS. As long as you stay silent, win or lose in Nov means the Left will continue to destroy America.

A few days ago, I was in a parking lot and saw a man wearing a Trump hat. I complimented him on his hat, and he encouraged me to wear Trump stuff as well. I told him I wasn't a big burly man like he was and didn't want to be attacked. He said, "yeah and we know liberals are crazy...." He told me he gets lots of compliments on his hat and that he's met "lots" of Trump supporters since he started wearing his hat. MAGA 2020!

And armed to to the teeth.
When he wins in November, that is going to matter.

This past Sunday afternoon, a campaigner for Rodney Davis came by the house. She was "knocking on doors" to drum up support for the Republican Representative to the U.S. House of Representatives from our district. She asked whether the campaign could put a sign in our yard. I asked her not to do so because I want to avoid conflict in the neighborhood. All it takes is one jerk and your life can be made miserable.
I will, however, be voting for Rodney Davis in the General Election in November.

Spent most of my career with top rated everyday global brand US corporations - a computer company, a telecom giant and an office products company - exactly the names that would first come to mind.. I would have named them but choose not to - that precisely is the point. Friends, contacts still there tell me the days of political talk at the water cooler or in the cafeteria are long gone. Senior (Director and VP class) personnel are very careful about e-mails including private (you know the yoga and weddings type!). Fear rules the hallways. I am certain this is repeated in the society at large.

I am certain Trump will slaughter Biden, except! I don’t put it past the dems doing everything in their power to steal the election. Mail in ballots, faulty counting, and vote harvesting. There are too many tricks we don’t even know about. For all the democrat and media lying and big multinational companies that want Trump to lose, It will take a miracle for Trump to win.

"about a third of “strong conservatives” would support firing Biden donors" I might suggest this a recent opinion change because liberals have become so nuts such that 50% of them feel they could take such actions against Trump supporters. Conservatives are starting to think "tit for tat". We are tired of being saps for principles that liberals are only too happy to use against us. We should stop tolerating liberal stupidity and slander.
"What should scare the pants off any sentient Democrat is the number of Latinos (65 percent) and black Americans (49 percent) who self-censor." This is another factoid that slips around the media's manipulation of the polls. I doubt that Trump will win a majority of the Black vote. They are too entrenched with dems and brainwashed. But dems need 90% Black support to win and it is very unlikely they will get it. They also need strong Hispanic support and it is possible that Trump could actually win that demographic.
Note that this reticence to declare yourself is going to mess up the exit polls. Blacks who vote for Trump will probably tell any exit poll that they voted for Biden. Many other Trump supporters will do this as well or refuse to answer.

The dems REALLY believed the polls with Hillary and were unprepared. This time they don't believe these polls either BUT this time they will be prepared. After the polls close they will find boxes of votes that they will count. Once the polls close they know how many votes they need to win. They probably are having the ballots made and are marking them now.
