The Election Fraud in 2020 changed my outlook on American elections. What I saw happen that November convinced me that outright theft of the presidency is completely within the scope of the Democratic Party’s purview. Suffice it to say that I am highly skeptical of Trump’s chances in this election. I assumed they are low; less than 25%.
But then I watched this:
2WAY is a creation of Mark Halperin who was a talking head on one of the networks, I think ABC. Sean Spicer was one of Trump’s first press secretaries. Dan Turrentine is a “Democratic strategist.” I’ve never heard of him. Anyway, Halperin hosts these zoom calls with various Democrat and Republican talking heads and a bunch of everyday people who come on to give their two cents but without any screaming or name-calling. More or less Halperin attempts to be an honest broker who allows both sides to talk about the election without too much spin.
For the last week or two, Halperin has been saying that the inside polls and the early voting data is increasingly good for Donald Trump and bad for Harris. In this short video both Spicer and Turrentine seem to be agreeing with him. Now, I hate to get my hopes up because that is a dangerous thing to do, but it’s getting harder to resist. Well, I’m “all growed up now” so I guess I shouldn’t be scared of working through what’s going on in the real world.
With two weeks left before election day it’s still too early to get too excited about this “trend.” I think this Friday would be a good place to evaluate where the race and the indicators stand. What Spicer thought was that if the Democratic campaign thinks things are going south, they will immediately start attacking Trump with anything and everything they’ve got. Well, that’s interesting. I’m not sure where you can go after you’ve already called him a despotic, demented, unbalanced danger to the republic. I guess Harris can approve a commercial where a picture of Trump morphs into Adolph Hitler or Darth Vader. But I’m interested to see if something like that does surface on my local television station. Of course, this being New England, that would be preaching to the choir and an awful waste of money. But perhaps Pennsylvania and Michigan might be bombarded with such stuff.
Look, I’m skeptical as hell. I’ve been burned before and don’t enjoy getting my hopes up. But I have to confess that with the fallout from the Biden administration looking like a list of biblical plagues not seen since the time of Moses, it’s hard not to believe that the American voters would rise up and demand the end of the Democrats’ reign. So, let’s just say that I’m more than a little interested in the increasingly worried statements coming from the Harris campaign behind the scenes. I’ll review things on Friday and maybe I’ll have more to say at that time. Now that’s cautious and bland enough. Isn’t it?
Wait, and HOPE!

But hope can be so painful.
sometimes when I drop in, I feel like someone was reincarnated. The following two quotes seem to be appropriate for your discourse: “Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media… Read more »
