‘Tis time to fling predictions against the wall

There are three possible outcomes for this year’s election. First being that Trump barely squeaks out a victory. Lawyers on both sides will then take over the proceedings. Second being that Trump wins “bigly” and the Republicans have solid majorities in both houses of Congress. And lastly, Harris manages to achieve a “technical” victory. A Harris landslide is not within the realm of possibility.

I’m betting on a Trump landslide because of a profound lack of serious competition. Harris and Walz? Really? Talk about poking a hole through the bottom of the barrel. The thinly veiled panic among the Democrat operatives is a semi-reliable indicator of this outcome. Way back in the aftermath of the 2010 midterm, Dan Balz of the Washington Post announced that, after their epic drubbing, the Democrats no longer had a bench up from which new talent could rise. Hence the Hillary nomination of 2016 and then Biden-Harris -- who still somehow managed to enter the winner’s circle, though under seriously suspicious circumstances.

Looking back at the last midterm of 2022, optimistic predictions of a “red wave” fell far short. I contend that this happened largely because Pres. Trump wasn’t on the ballot. But now he is. Whatever flaws Trump may have, he still knows how to run a large operation. Harris and Walz? They are dingbat idealogues. Both have a seriously fictitious worldview and little, if any, success in solving real problems… so they typically don’t even bother trying.

There are more Republicans watching for the cheat so that will make it harder for the ‘RATs. Maricopa County looks like they are up to their old tricks.

Maricopa looks really bad. They have mules bringing in last minute voter registrations by the metric tonne.
I predict they will be stuck showing well less than 50% counted for days and days.

PA has a lot of hope. They seem to be ahead of the curve on seeing what’s coming. Philadelphia is the big wildcard.

Same with Atlanta.

I predict a lot of lawyers going weapons hot here in the next 18 hours.

Dixville Notch went 3 Harris, 3 Trump, and 6 for Niki Haley. They voted for Bribem the first time. It’s looking good.

Since the Harris team just announced that they can win this thing without PA, I think that they just conceded PA.

I say Trump gets 320 EV. Plus popular vote, House and Senate.

And I think the media will be down to challenging that vote, refusing to certify, full insurrection, “he’s not our president”.

Riots in Seattle and Portland, starting at 8:30 p.m. local time.

I’m nervously optimistic about your belief that Trump will win bigly. This is going to be a day of highest possible anxiety.

“ Harris and Walz? Really? ” Yes really this party ran with someone like them before and won…somehow:

To: Uncle Miltie; anyone

If (and I sincerely pray) Trump wins I bet a 10 dollar donation to FR that the left will riot within a few months (they might need time to organize).

In other words if no sizable riots by say the end of April I will make the donation.

If anyone bets me and I win you pay the donation.

America’s media seems to be in love with censorship.

They’ve been flickering too long and it’s past time for them to go dark and get the bulb changed.

To: Phoenix8

Heck, I’ll bet $100 that if Trump wins, the left will riot within 24 hours.

Any takers?

I didn’t think so.

There are 2 outcomes,

1) Harris wins and the trump lawyers take over the courts, the dems protest and burn cities to get their point across that they are the sane ones and this country is divided,

2) trump wins and the dems prove they are the real winners by turning the inauguration into a full on L.A. riot, they continue rioting, burning and looting to prove they are still the only sane ones..

either way our country is going up or down ( your guess) in flames before January.

WHERES THE FAT LADY. SHE'S UP IN 5.

Putin and Xi got elected

Kamela I fear, will too. We no longer live in America, we live in a land controlled by a coalition of City States.

They will do anything to keep and grow their power

Conservatives will bow their heads in the arena center and allow themselves to be savaged by the lions

I predict “They” will be saying “Peace and Safety” because of a Trump win.

If you get my drift.
