betsy Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 There are several indicators that tell this could be another 2016. 1) Majority of Americans say they are better off now than they were 4 years ago. Why would they want to risk what they have now and gamble on Biden - who was VP 4 years ago? https://nypost.com/2020/10/09/majority-of-americans-better-off-under-trump-than-4-years-ago-poll/ 2) 51% of Americans went along with Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court - despite all the negative and attacks from the Dems and left-leaning media, and the polls that say 62% Americans would want to have the next president make the appointment - still, 51% ended up supporting Trump's appointment! . They want Barrett confirmed! https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/51-of-people-want-amy-coney-barrett-confirmed-to-the-supreme-court-poll 3) Trump's secret supporters. They exist. They're quiet about it for their own reasons. Quote According to a recent Cato Institute poll, 77% of conservatives are now afraid to express their political views versus roughly 50% of liberals. This includes 40% of Republicans with a college degree and 60% with a post-graduate degree, who are afraid their political views will harm their careers, versus only 25% of Democrats. If you felt your job was threatened by expressing your political views, would you lie in response to a poll question? There is also a psychological phenomenon known as “social anxiety” that can be caused by the fear of being judged by others. Social anxiety can produce something called social desirability bias, which causes people answering survey questions to respond in a manner they believe will be seen favorably by anyone who hears or reads the answers. In other words, if you felt an honest response would make you seem to be insensitive, uncaring, or even racist, would you lie in order to be seen more favorably by the pollster? If yes, you would be exhibiting social desirability bias. So, we have valid reasons for Republicans to be untruthful and a poll suggesting a possible number. Is there any evidence this is happening or has happened? Actually, there is. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/10/will_the_silent_trump_voters_roar_on_november_3rd.html 4) Though polls indicate a gloomy outlook for Trump - voters' registrations tell a different story! https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/republicans-bright-spot-voter-registration-push-73708311 5) Enthusiasm factor. Trump's crowd are huge, and enthusiastic! Biden/Harris crowd are practically non-existent. AND, they've been CONSISTENT. This was 8 months ago: And.....indeed.....Biden's rallies must be embarrassing to Democrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betsy Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Media going full-tthrottle, guns ablazing! You can smell and taste the bias of the media. CNN had devoted its entire 24/7 attacking Trump one way or another, every which way it can. The first debate saw Wallace buying and promoting into the narrative that paint Trump as a white supremacist - demanding that Trump denounce white suprmacy - even to the point of naming the PROUD BOYS specifically. Lol. Moronic Wallace was simply following the script and didn't even do his homework - otherwise, he'd know that the leader of the Proud Boys is BLACK! Another moron - Savannah Guthrie - ended up being the one trying to debate Trump in that town hall meeting! It backfired! Even 60 Minutes got in the bandwagon! That one, backfired too! Trump had exposed them instead, to be biased and unreliable! Left-leaning media are going full blast, recklessly. They don't even try to hide their bias anymore. ALL HANDS ON DECK! That's what it looks like to me. They're in panic-mode. That's an indicator to me. They know something they don't tell their viewers. They must know their polls are not showing the facts!

Because there's no evidence for that. He's POTUS he could have it investigated. Was it when Savannah Guthrie wouldn't accept that a ReTweet isn't an endorsement, especially coming from a POTUS? Is it when Trump played dumb, like he often does, in regards to Qannon? Or how about the claim that the US is "rounding the curve" regarding COVID-19 when all evidence points to things getting much much worse? Just curious how asking Trump to answer for his record is biased? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, the network can't edit it. Edited October 27, 2020 by betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardner Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Are any of the breathless ALL CAPS people here brave enough to put their guess on my post ?

I asked 4 questions questions as to why you think those issues are biased. And why? Cleary you're incapable of voicing how exactly those interviews were particularly biased.

Biden is competitive in states that would be considered solidly red. Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona. But if Trump can hold on to those states by the skin of his teeth, all he needs is Pennsylvania and he wins the EC. The EC doesn't reflect the changing demo's in any of those states and how they're purpling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know when the "popular vote" always wins in Canada too. Popular vote isn't the metric. It's the idea that close races are weighted the same as landslide races. In the Westminster system, each seat is its own race. In the Electoral model system entire states give all their EC votes to the winner even if the race is tight. It would be akin to giving all Ontario seats to Trudeau if the Liberals won the popular vote in that Province. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trump gets four more years because of the EC, then it is perfectly constitutional, and as it should be.

I'll tell you right now, that if he loses Florida. He'll need to sweep Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. As well as Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina. All are either competitive or Trump is losing by around 5%+. The truth is, Pennsylvania is the most important state in the Union. That's why Trump has been pretty much campaigning there for a week straight. The system creates a political environment where only a handful of states matter.
