I live in Gastonia. Its one of the reddest cities in the state. Weird how Trump thinks going here will do him any good.  No wonder he's losing. I'll be going to Charlotte to see the next President at the PNC Pavillion that holds nearly 20K people and it'll be full! Hope I get in since I got to work til right before doors open.

 

What's going to be funny is all the new charges related to this election that Jack Smith will file against him next year! He's going to die in jail.

That’s a lot of rallies in NC. Trump campaign must think it’s still in play. 
 

Also of note: No rallies in Wisconsin. 
 

 

 

He's in Milwaukee WI tonight. RFK Jr and Tulsi have two separate events in WI on Saturday and Sunday.

 

 

 

The last rally in MI reminds me of Trump's election eve midnight MI rally in 2016.

If Elected
by Bill O'Reilly
 
Vice President Harris looks like a nice person. Don't know her or anyone who does. So, I can't bring any personal perspective to her candidacy.
 
I have known Donald Trump for more than 30 years. That's both good and bad. I tend to overlook many of his controversial statements because I understand much of that is attention-getting theatre. I am solely focused on how he governed and what I believe he'll do going forward. The rhetoric, to me, is a silly sideshow. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
 
Back to Kamala. Her strident belief in late-term abortion is disturbing. It's not about a woman's body solely - there's another body that should be considered: the unborn but viable child.
 
To totally dismiss that fact, as Ms. Harris does, is cruel. I'm not wrong about this.
 
In addition, I see a sense of entitlement from the Vice President. She obviously believes she has no obligation to answer direct questions. Based upon her time in the Senate, I see no problem-solving ability whatsoever. Trump is a deal-maker. Harris is an artful dodger.
 
There are worse things. But I am wary. History can repeat itself. In 1920, Republican Warren Harding refused to answer questions but got elected anyway.
 
He was a disaster in the White House.
 
I know Kamala is not Harding, but I don't know much else about her. If elected, the odds are she will continue the Biden debacle.
 
That's enough for me to pull the lever for Trump.

At this point, I think either Pennsylvania or Georgia will hold the golden ticket to the White House. Both are going to be nailbiters.

 

If I were to make a guess - Wisconsin and Michigan lean towards Harris, while Arizona and North Carolina lean towards Trump. Nevada is too difficult to predict.

Dude really went to Wisconsin and insulted Giannis. Maybe go to Iowa and insult Caitlin Clark next..


It does seem like a pointless thing to do. I can’t speak on Giannis, but if any politician came to Minnesota and insulted Anthony Edwards, it would definitely be poorly received. Same with Justin Jefferson. Crowd would probably boo. I have no idea what either of their political views are.  Hopefully, they’re smart enough to stay out of it.

Speaking of Iowa...

 

 

Obama 08 and 12 is calling and wants Iowa for Kamala!

From ATL and CLT to SNL tonight! What a woman! I was at Charlotte today and what an experience. It was packed and WAY more white people of all ages than I expected to see! More than the Hillary rallies I went to!  Trump is in trouble.

Giannis hasn’t said a thing politically. And probably won’t because he’s not a US citizen and generally as uncontroversial as it gets. Trump just couldn’t understand how a Black man could also be Greek. 😭

 

what’s interesting about the Iowa poll is Harris is +20 for women in a primarily white state.

 

Iowa has a 6 week abortion ban. This appears to be a huge loser. If these types of numbers hold, it’ll be overturning Roe - of all their actions - that actually ends MAGA

I was feeling doomed about Trump winning too but after today's rally seeing her crowd in person and then this poll has given me a new faith and excitement about Tuesday. Many of the people in Kamala's Charlotte crowd today looked like the kinds you see at Trump rallies, just minus the red hats and hate. It was a large Southern crowd chanting for Kamala, a mixed racial woman. I was in awe. It had Obama 08 vibes all over it. Remember the state that gave Obama his first win in Jan 08...Iowa. Wouldn't this be an ironic conclusion to all this!

Trying not to get too far ahead of myself. But if that Iowa pull is true, even if she loses PA but wins GA then the election is hers. The majority of the vote in GA is already in and right now women have turned out in 10 percent higher numbers in GA. Non white vote is 40 percent. Republicans hold a slight lead in turnout overall in GA but if you look at the counties with over 60 percent turnout they are smaller deep red counties. Meaning as long as Atlanta area turnout is decent she would have enough

People are reading too much into the early voting and VBM. Democrats voted by mail by a much higher rate in 2020 because they were more afraid of the virus than Republicans were. Republicans were suspicious of mail and early voting because Trump programmed them to not trust it, but the Trump campaign has been urging supporters to vote early this time around. Furthermore, we don’t know how any of those early and mail voters actually voted. There will be some crossing over, and there are a lot of registered independents.
