Remember how Donald Trump was totally doomed just a couple weeks ago? Grandpa Badfinger was ridin’ high down in his basement and the GOP was going to be destroyed in November. All the smart people of smartness who make up liberal blue check Twitter tweeted it so it had to be true.
Good times.
And then last week it all changed, turning 180 on a dime as Biden stomped on his Pelosi. It’s looking good for Trump and the Republicans again, and while there will be twists n’ turns, and while we best not get cocky (Hat Tip: Glenn “Instapundit” Reynolds) the victory most of us patriots expect

My concern isn't with voters that voted for him in 2016 changing their minds, but with the age demo. I fear there may be just enough older 2016 voters that have moved on from this world only to be replaced by a new crop of indoctrinated 18-22 year olds that didn't vote in 2016. It only takes 10's of thousands in a few swing states. Saving grace may be the lack of freshman voter registration that goes on at college campuses...

I do believe we can out vote them in big numbers but I am not sure if we can overcome their cheating. The only card they have to play is to commit voter fraud. If they can’t pull off a win, they want to get close with a believable number so they can tie the results up in court and creat chaos. Their strategy is to so muddy the waters and, once again, call him an illegitimate President and harass him more than they do today. Nothing says democrat party more than riots, impeachment hearings, investigations, and accusations.
Our only hope is a massive number of voters who will go to the polls with the motivation to crush the democrat party because of what they have done to this country. The media destroyed the democrats because they exposed exactly who they are and what they will do to gain political power. Although they believed they were supporting the dems, they actually woke people up to the violence, destruction, pure lust for political power, the willingness to fail to protect their cities and the people living there to make a point that most Americans rejected, and finally the corruption that has consumed the party. Democrats are not looking good. However, take nothing for granted. Vote like the President is 20 points behind and Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsome, or Gretchen Whitmer will be your governor because someone like them will be. Most of all, pray. We need all the prayer we can get.

Still, fight like we are 25 points down, never take Democrat fraud and cheating for granted. We have to restore America.

Tide turns toward Trump?
You wouldn't think so - - if you watched Fox Business this morning. Dagen and her guests were all "Oooh! Oooh! Biden is way ahead in the swing states! Could be a Biden landslide! Trump has to do something!"
This one is not an exaggeration. The MSM - - including Fox - - really thinks it's all over.

In all due respect Kurt, the President was not "totally doomed just a couple of weeks ago". But, the msm was working hard to create that illusion and you mistakenly bought into it.
However, from the article, "Trump’s taking the lead again. That’s why you see a doubling down on Democrat attempts to set up the chance to win by fraud and, if they can’t pull that off, declare his reelection victory illegitimate. You can smell their fear even over the musky odor of Biden’s Old Spice."
I believe the President always had a lead, but, the dims are running out of time to keep the election results even close. But, look, no political party that openly hates America, encourages our young people to hate America, openly supports revolution, and openly supports antifa and blm thugs who terrorize those of us with less melanin in our skin, has or ever will win another presidential election.

We have to overcome both our useful idiot neighbors as well as fraud. For Trump to win by even a small margin we need to have an enormous real vote win. We are a third world country politically. It will take a while for the rest of third world attributes to catch up to us as we coast on the fumes of dying capitalism and liberty.

“We talk about the Silent Majority and the Shy Trump Voter, but it’s more like the “Kiss my Schumer, you’ll find out what I think in November, jerk” voter.”
Amen! I’ve never been polled but if I were I would lie, just to mess with the left. And I’m sure that I’m not alone.

The dems won’t make this mistake again. They are already sending out personnel to start harvesting votes in key states. They let their guard down last time. They will start voting ballots as soon as they come out. I bet there will be MANY counties and states that poll over 100% of registered voters voting. Here is an article that states that. “My tabulation of Judicial Watch’s state-by-state results yielded 462 counties where the registration rate exceeded 100 percent. There were 3,551,760 more people registered to vote than adult U.S. citizens who inhabit these counties.” Here is the full article

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

Riots and looting in Chicago over the weekend on the Magnificent Mile (it is a gorgeous stretch of commercial real estate on Michigan Avenue -- seriously). This does NOT help Democrats win.
Voters may not like Mr. Trump's Tweets. They may not like his bombastic personality. (Frankly, given the milquetoast Republicans of yore, I'm fine with those qualities in our President when we are fighting communists within our borders who are members of a major political party.) But voters as sure as hell do NOT like that sort of violence going on in their cities. And not one damned thing Biden says suggests he is ardently against such behavior.

In order to win this election, Trump must have a blow out. He must crush the numbers. Dem cheating is well known and over the years, as Republicans slept, Dems mastered the art of the fraud. They eat, drink and breathe the motto "by any means necessary." Their corruption knows no bounds.

The vote against unrest and violence will be overwhelming!
We have been locked up with covid, and now we feel locked up for fear of running into violent mobs.
We are actually leaving the big city for the hills of Arkansas for a few days in November, to avoid the riots that are sure to happen when they lose.

Let's understand that the mission facing the establishment politicians in November is to rid themselves of Trump. It's that simple...GOPe and DEMe divisions of the UNIPARTY are united in profiteering and PDT threatens their empire of "legal" and extralegal enrichment. Their problem is that while Trump is at the front gate, the Dem flanks are exposed to radicals, such as the squad. These are ideologues who will gain their profits later...they all do. It appears that the COVIDS scare is wearing thin and people are getting antsy - so look for another bunch of fake stats and big media splashes of second or third or whatever wave comes next.
I fully expect the GOPe to make the same halfarsed effort they did in '18 in the House elections. Maybe more in the Senate, and maybe not if Mitch can ram through a few more judges. Don't think for a minute that the GOPe cares who the next Supreme Court justice might be. How's that "conservative" court working for you now with Roberts, Kavenaugh and Gorsuch? Seems there is always one off the reservation...when it counts.

Let me save you the trouble of wading through the burning sarcasm to get to the nub:
Down ballot Repubs are surging in the polls as well as the POTUS.
Extremely extremely good news.
No offense, Kurt, but I have alotta things to read every morning and your acid burn reports could be alot shorter if you would pare back to the gist sometimes. No offense.

One just has to read the headlines on MSN homepage to see how desperately the democrats are flailing right now, and how they are pushing the most ridiculous memes. So it is going to be a shock to them if and when Trump wins reelection. The Democrats think they are in charge of the Kraken, but I would submit that the true and massive Kraken awaits them. The Kraken coming is named Trump Voters.

It's about so much more than November, it's about life from here on out. Biden is just the "palatable" face of evil--although he's pretty creepy himself. If Biden is elected, we are doomed, but so is the rest of the world. Not conspiracy theory, but real probability.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! TRUMP 2020 AND BEYOND!!! May Kurt Schlicter be on to something real and great!

The Demo-rats have thrown everything at Trump to no avail. They honestly (& stupidly) thought that somehow they could get his supporters to turn on him and then we would somehow join them as they marched on the White House with pitchforks and flaming sticks. Because they have no guns, they were hoping we would bring ours and then together we'd pull Trump out of the Oval Office and help them throw him into the nearest volcano to appease the China Flu gods or BLM or whatever. If only.
Instead, the exact opposite result has happened (as it often does with hare-brained liberal ideas) and we supporters have rallied around Trump. There is now a virtual wall around Trump protecting him --- from them! This invisible shield will become real & solid on Tuesday, November 3rd when we all vote. I'll be there --- only God can stop me now --- and I'm going to vote against every Dem on every line and for every office just so they get the message.
For me it's not just about re-electing Trump, taking the House and holding the Senate. Now it's about making their heads explode!
Lastly, don't worry about them stealing votes in Blue States. Trump will get enough victories in the Red States to give him at least 271 electoral votes and victory. They will still be counting votes in California, New York, etc. as he's re-sworn in as POTUS on January 20, 2021 --- and it won't make a bit of difference what the number count is from the Blue States. Biden can steal every vote but it won't matter.

Kurt never disappoints! Here is a sweet visual for you FTA: ''it all changed, turning 180 on a dime as Biden stomped on his Pelosi.'' Ask a cattle rancher to 'splain it if you don't know. (Is there an Ldotter who doesn't know??)

There is no enthusiasm for Badfinger Bidet. Last time here there were lots of Crooked bumper stickers, this time nothing except the odd Bernie Sanders stickers.
We understand that we cannot have a Communist takeover by the likes of the Muslim gal that married her own brother. We have to fight for the American way of life. We have a great candidate in President Trump. A promise keeper, he is the best communicator I have seem in my lifetime. Best President ever. MAGA.

So, skip his articles, #20. I love everything about Schlichter including his acid wit. He is right on the money about what is happening and makes it incredibly entertaining too. If he and I weren’t already happily married to our spouses, I would be stalking him for dates.

The reality of the brainwashed millennials is they are too lazy or overwhelmed by the very confusing ballots to vote. My kids are all in that age demo, and even though two of them are not lefties, the youngest one is, none of them have voted! I bring them their ballots, ( California has had mail in for decades). I remind them, and there the ballots sit until after the election when they go in the trash.
21-31 age group. None of their friends have voted either. Other than for Obama the first time.( NOT the 2nd time). When the media made that election the rock star election. I spend an hour looking up every single thing on the ballots and it is a pain in the arse. This is how so much bad stuff happens in California in my opinion. They use misleading wording and title things the opposite of what they really are. This age group is not going to be motivated to vote for Joe Biden.

I always pray for Trump and for beautiful Melania.
The Obama Democrats are Lenin Bolsheviks.
They are promoting these Portland and Chicago riots.
Democrats remind me of Lenin Reds storming the beautiful Winter Palace.
Later Lenin turned the Winter Palace into a dump.

#6 Dagen has one of the best minds on Fox.
#12 The thesis of the Ben Carson campaign was he would draw enough of the black vote or cause the black voters to stay home and NOT vote to with the electoral college. I think Kanye can make a difference in Trump's favor. In some states every single vote matters.

The simple truth is that every identity group that supports dems is weak for Gropey, You aren't Black, senile, old Joe. I just covered women, Blacks, and youth. Hispanics are on the cusp of giving Trump a majority of their vote. Youth are notoriously poor voters unless they have someone to get excited about. The senile septuagenarian is NOT going to do it for them. As noted in the article, there is NO enthusiasm for a guy who can't put together 2 rational sentences and spends every other day apologizing for what he said the day before. There are even apologies for some of the previous apologies.
If all the components of dem support are weak, weaker than they were for Hillary who got her electoral clock cleaned, HOW can the sum of the defective parts add up to a winning whole as the polls indicate? The only possible conclusion is that the polls are bady wrong and likely deliberately so.
Then Trump masterfully outmaneuvers the dems on COVID assistance, putting them in a position with NO good outcomes for them. He does this type of thing on a regular basis and as the election approaches more people are paying attention. He did it with COVID and the riots. The economy is reviving. Durham is breathing down dem necks.
There is no upside for the dems and their fear and desperation is making the normally stupid dems act even more blatantly foolish. The media is impotent and loopy. No one is listening to the nuts in Hollyweird and the sports world who find themselves without audiences. Outside the Left's echo chamber they are in terrible shape.
That's great since we want more than an election victory. We want them exposed and ruined. We are getting closer to that goal.
