The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

With almost 14 months to go until the 2024 presidential election, the polls are beginning to fly thick and fast. Ignoring for a moment the ridiculous bias inherent in many of the polling companies, the reticence of many Americans about admitting who they support, and realizing that 14 months is an eternity in politics, there is still a huge problem with paying attention to any general election poll.

The electoral college! These polls are national polls, and mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of presidential elections. Does it really matter what anyone in California thinks about a race between Trump and Biden? Or South Carolina or Minnesota or Kansas or Oregon or Wyoming?

The only thing that matters is the election results in the swing states, and those are not reflected in any of these polls.

Here is RealClearPolitics list of the latest polls.

2024 Iowa Republican Presidential Caucus
FOX Business Trump 46, DeSantis 15, Haley 11, Ramaswamy 7, Scott 7, Christie 3, Pence 3, Burgum 2, Binkley 1, Hurd 0, Hutchinson 0 Trump +31

General Election: Trump vs. Biden
Yahoo News Trump 44, Biden 44 Tie

Sure, it's fun to look at these and wonder who the hell thinks Fat F*ck Christie is a worthwhile candidate for president, or who the profound retards are who think that Biden is doing a good job.

But it's only the swing states that matter: Georgia, Virginia, Wisconsin, and maybe Arizona (although I despair for that state). We can quibble about which states are truly in play, and of course the 800 pound gorilla in the room is the Democrat cheat apparatus, which is alive and well and being tuned up for November 2024, with apparently zero resistance from the national GOP.

Sure, we can argue about Michigan, with the tremendous dissatisfaction with the Biden Junta's push for EV production, which will gut auto industry employment. But the wicked witch of the Mid-West is firmly in control there, and if you want to bet against Gretchen Whitmer, good luck. And if you are high as a kite, we can chat about New Hampshire. But that state is trending blue because of the exodus from Massachusetts, and I doubt they will vote Republican ever again. Pennsylvania? Don't hold your breath. Hell...they voted in a brain-dead Frankenstein stand-in for senator, and the cheat in Philadelphia is powerful and unchallenged, so PA is probably a lost cause.

In fact, it will be an uphill battle no matter what. The fights that should have been fought are over, and the good guys lost. Ronna Romney McDaniel (the chair of the RNC) presided over catastrophic losses in 2018, 2020, and 2022, and she was rewarded with another term at the top of the party apparatus. Mitch McConnell was retained by the Republicans as Senate Minority Leader, in spite of his obvious hand in losing what could have been a tremendous 2022 midterm election.

These are perfect examples of the dysfunction of the Republican party. The Democrats were rocked back on their heels by the economy, geopolitical failures, and a stumbling, incoherent crook at the top of the party, yet the GOPe snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, all because of their antipathy for Donald Trump and his nationalist/populist supporters.

They would rather lose than see a resurgent Republican party with Americans as its focus, and until that changes, 2024 and beyond are probably out of reach.

The latter point is all that matters.

Polls have always been hinky at best because of problems with the process along with the fact that public polling has little incentive, especially more than a year out, to be accurate to the actual result at all. Now, they know they have cover to say whatever. They cover their butts by calling races neck and neck.

If we don't have a way to prevent Detroit from saying that a few hundred ballot boxes have 1000 ballots in them when there are only 10, then what does a poll of MI mean?

Our problems are post-legal.

Our solutions need to be post-legal.

Unfortunately, I suspect that 2024 will see an open cheat once more, more obvious than in both 2020 and 2022, and the people will take it once more. Conservatives will flee purple states turning hard blue because of cheating instead of staying and fighting.

We're in for another generation of the cheating directing national and federal policy.

Two things at play in this.
First, the GOP likes being the second-place phony opposition. It gains them an unearned status and they still get what they really want anyway, which is the DNC agenda - except that they get to claim they don't and get rubes to give them money for their fake positions.

Second, The GOP - like the other side of the Uniparty - has active antipathy for the people. They *hate* the people. If the people want something that is not a fake choice as a part of their false dichotomy, then the people must be put in their place. Better to lose - even *actually* lose, not just a fake Uniparty-style loss - rather than let the people win. They'd rather die - literally die - than do what the people want. We are scum. They don't answer to us.

Ensure Chain of Custody for "ballots", from printers, to voting place, to counting center and then post-election storage, as required by law?

Ensure Open, Accurate and ACCOUNTABLE counting of votes, as witnessed by representatives of not only "both" parties, but by ANY interested observer?

They will not lose. They could be voted out of office but they will not lose. The global aristocrats play "who's on first" while they loot the planet.

The one bright point is the absolute truism is that what cannot continue will not continue. The global aristocrats aren't nearly as bright as they think they are. Cunning, yes, bright, no. All will fall apart and they will will eventually suffer also. It's a small thing but it's not nothing.

May I add something to this? IMO, the real issue is not whether the GOP is part of the Uniparty, a crooked outfit existing only for graft, slave labor and outsourcing and a collection of grifters, liars and nickelfuckers who loathe the average Republican voter. . .

The issue is that 'Republicans' who despise the GOP continue to vote for them! And until that changes - until every incumbent is thrown out on their ass or the GOP is drowned by the wave of a new, populist American party, nothing will ever change.

It's helpful to understand that EVERYTHING is in service of the cheating.

If they can be presented as tied, then when "black people turn out in record numbers because of the attack" or "women turn out in record numbers because of the Roe v Wade decision" or some other fake justification can tip the scales. Trump said pussy, Trump candidates, etc.

None of it is real. It is all propaganda in pursuit of the goal. And it is masterfully done.

Exactly.

Obviously the bigger population counties went for Biden, fair enough, but how does that map explain super majorities in the state house and senate?

The only thing that explains that is massive fraud or abject apathy on the part of Republican leaning voters.

This depends on the state. This is *the* critical problem out West and in the states with a mega-city (New York, Illinois). When the urban population vastly outweighs the non-urban population - and especially when that urban population is concentrated in one main urban center - then the state no longer matters. Only the city matters.

Take CO as an example. The Denver Metro had a population 2.963 million people in the 2020 census. The state of CO had 5.773 million people. Over 50% of the state population resides in Metro Denver. It overpowers the rest of the state - especially because the other metro areas (Fort Collins/Greeley and Colorado Springs) just run up the score, though they aren't important on their own. Sparsely-populated big western states with a single city complex is a wet dream for single-party Dem rule.

Same answer. It depends on how the districts are drawn and where they represent. The high-density urban areas get more districts, and the gerrymandering takes care of the rest. For example, when I lived there, my rural (and extremely conservative) county was gerrymandered into Boulder's district. Boom. In terms of effective meaning, our votes vanished like dew in the morn. Sure, we could cast ballots, but there was no point.

What amuses me at least a little bit about headlines like this is that you never saw headlines like this about, say, the Stasi. Everyone knew the Stasi's job. Intimidation and lawbreaking was just expected behavior.

That we still generate headlines like this about the DoJ and its subdivisions like the FBI is amusing, because it means that many people still think the DoJ or the FBI is something different.

In a letter to the organization’s few remaining staffers, human resources director Jennifer Kiyak said that it was necessary to put operations on pause in “the interest of preserving the possible future existence of Project Veritas.” She also announced another round of layoffs in the note, calling the move a “Reduction in Force,” Mediate reported.

Sources told the outlet that half a dozen staffers were laid off this week alone, including all its remaining journalists. Just 11 people remain on payroll, one former staffer told Mediate.||

175 Yeah - I don't see a Biden loss in the cards. Hell, when you talk about failure theater, Ronna Romney McDaniel's candidacy was supported by Trump, which strikes me as very odd.

And Virginia is a clean election state now, which is the only reason Youngkin won, because the potential cheat in No. Va. was constrained by the rules in place. None of that has changed. Now, Trump is not the guy who can flip it in the general, because No. Va. hates him with a passion, and he smartly stayed away when Youngkin ran. But maybe another GOP candidate could.

And polls are meaningless on the presidential level. They will be important at the House level, and the senatorial level where the dems do not have the ability to utilize a blue city cheat scheme. But national presidential polling is worthless because the sentiment of the voters has already been wiped out. So polling will only be important in determining where the cheat is most out of control.

Huh. I mean, this is probably true, in terms of proximal cause. Veritas ran out of money and so is in the process of shutting down.

Distally, though, this is not what happened. The financial ruin is a *consequence* of the root cause, not the cause itself. Veritas' executives decided to destroy the company in order to take out O'Keefe's operation and put him on the back foot. Was this because of Pfizer? Maybe. It seems fairly likely given the timing, but I don't know. What is clear, however, is that Veritas was deliberately destroyed by its board.

So no. "Financial ruin" did not lead to they layoffs and suspension of operations. They did not suddenly and for no reason run out of money. Running out of money was a consequence of the board's decision to destroy the company. The cause of the board's decision is open for debate, but I think that it was nakedly and openly corrupt is not.

Credit cards are practically charging "loan shark interest rates" after hitting historic highs this year, said Barry Glassman, a certified financial planner and member of CNBC's Advisor Council.

Some payday loans charge 400%, 500% or even more than 600%, for example, he said.

Cardholders who pay their balances in full and on time don't amass interest. But banks do charge interest when consumers carry a balance from month to month. Such accounts had a 22.16% average interest rate in May, also a record high, according to Fed data.

212 Same answer. It depends on how the districts are drawn and where they represent. The high-density urban areas get more districts, and the gerrymandering takes care of the rest. For example, when I lived there, my rural (and extremely conservative) county was gerrymandered into Boulder's district. Boom. In terms of effective meaning, our votes vanished like dew in the morn. Sure, we could cast ballots, but there was no point.

236 2022 saw the introduction of same day registration in VA. Any voter roll cleanup will get undone in the days leading up to the election.

The new law allows registration, with limitations, during the 21-day period before an election.

What is a provisional ballot?

Provisional ballots are used by voters who do not appear on the list of registered voters at their polling location. Provisional ballots are not processed by a vote counting machine at the time of voting, but rather are subject to approval by the local electoral board prior to the ballot being counted.

What happens to my provisional ballot after I vote?

The general registrar’s office for your locality will research your ballot to gather evidence about whether you are qualified and eligible to vote. The general registrar’s office will forward your ballot and the information gathered to the electoral board to review and approve or deny your ballot.

252 This is the literal job description in VA
"Electoral Board Job Description
Summary:
The Electoral Board of each County and City in Virginia is made up of three members who serve
three-year staggered terms. Two members are members of the political party of the most
recently elected governor. The chair and secretary must represent different political parties
unless the position is declined. Although the bipartisan board is appointed by the Circuit Court
based upon local party recommendations, each member must carry out official duties in a
nonpartisan manner. The authority for the administration of many aspects of elections for the
locality remains with the Electoral Board, including oversight of the General Registrar/Director
of Elections, and is responsible to the State Board of Elections for that administration. It
appoints the General Registrar, who handles voter records. Generally, the work of the Electoral
Board should be shared equally by all three members, although the Secretary has additional
responsibilities."

289 260 And it will all be worthless if Trump is on the ticket - he will lose the state and the Senate seat will also be lost b/c of the wave of NoVA Dems who will show up and go straight party line.

Posted by: Nova Local

I'm inclined to agree, but Trump does seem to be gaining on Biden. That's why I think Biden won't be on the ticket.
Posted by: Archimedes at September 21, 2023 11:47 AM (I/Qkd)

It's not whether Biden is on the ticket in VA, it's whether Trump is. Anti-Trump hatred is not rational in NoVa. So, if he's on the ticket, he depresses R turnout (b/c he doesn't sell here either, b/c state Rs (and Ds) like statesman, and he is not one - see why that VA Dem tramp got so publicized and is now in big trouble for the open seat) and he expands D turnout, leading to wide R losses in 2024. Remember, we don't have state seats to go out for to help mitigate where you say "vote for your state and local"...it's all about who is federal for VA in 2024.

Posted by: Field Marshal Zhukov

It is just such a thing that leads to a counter coup. The elites did not fight and win an election. Instead they threw a fit and subverted elections to put their junta in.

Historically, a failed aristocracy (or today's so laughably called meritocracy) is one of the shortest stints of misgovernance of the forms of government. That is because they cannot restrain their appetites for sex, power, and money. That ends when the elites cannot themselves agree on who gets the throne.

The usual result is either a disintegration into a real revolution where one cannot determine the winners beforehand, or a tyrant who takes on the elite and disappears enough that the rest crawl to their holes and wait until the tyrant's time is over.

Agree completely. Even if the Dems manage a win this year, the absurdity of the idea that Biden would win an honest election will motivate a tsunami of anger, and demands for serious reform.

Harry,
When regimes fail, the LIV suddenly become very knowledgeable and you get actual huge participation in voting. That is because it suddenly matters to them. No one really trusts the media anymore except for a certain dying segment of the population that grew up in far better times and are insulated from the current crisis.

Yup. My fault on that. You bring up suicide, which in my anger I conflated with saying "kill yourself". Not the crux of my anger, but you're right. You meant something more like "stop staying let's just kill ourselves because all is lost", didn't you?

My anger is directed at the sentiment that, if you believe voting is illegitimate now, you must believe there are no other options and it's tantamount to giving up completely.

It's directed at the fact that such a sentiment is exactly the mechanism by which the bastards we're stuck with are still... sticking.

I assume anyone who hates Trump also hates me. Not because I agree with everything Trump says and does, very far from it. No, they hate me because they want the Republican Party to go back to being wholly owned by their own oligarchs, and are willing to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to how far that party has gone from even remotely caring what happens to ordinary Americans.

I won't vote for any of those people. You can stack up any number of Republican candidates and tell me they're good on this or bad on that, or better than the other guy.

I don't care.

Let me just reiterate, that after months of mail in ballot cheating in 2016, the Democrats shut down six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall.

That's not the action of someone who lost votes (let's not bring out the numbers because redundant).

This analysis that Trump loses more votes is based on this handwaving away of the actual results of 2020 when he actually gained votes...and then Democrats openly cheated and jailed people who pointed it out.

And maybe some of it is just that I'm surrounded by low information types.

But they don't ever think about anything. They just mindlessly parrot whatever social media / tv / the news tells them to think. They don't even realize they're doing it.

And they're not otherwise stupid people. I suppose they look at politics in the same way I look at sports -- i don't really care. But the difference is, I don't pretend to have strong opinions about the Patriots or the Giants, while these people at least pretend to have very strong opinions about everything, and have the audacity to tell me I need to "get educated" on subjects that I am well versed in.

408 This analysis that Trump loses more votes is based on this handwaving away of the actual results of 2020 when he actually gained votes...and then Democrats openly cheated and jailed people who pointed it out.

Advocates believe what they want to believe whether on the D or R regardless of any empirical evidence. Usually it is because for social reasons to fit in among their peers.

The easiest way to cut to the chase is force people to answer whether or not they think DJT was cheated out of victory by multiple means or not.

Fair to say that by preponderance of the evidence which is sufficient to win in court, that Trump was.

Blago, embarrassed himself by claiming that Biden really did get 81 million votes which makes him delusional NT'er or a Dem troll.

Me, I dunno who would be the best candidate because quite simply it is a year and several months to the elections in Nov. I dunno if Trump will be the nominee but it appears likely due to the Biden junta simply not leaving him alone. Who can fix the mess in DC, absent a Lincoln willing to be elected tyrant, dunno.

If that means chaos, so be it. If they put a bullet in the guy's head, like they did his dad and uncle, I have more hope this will change things than electing a good safe Gope candidate who is beholden to a slightly different group of oligarchs than the ones in charge now.

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards
------------
GA is too late in the process to help DeSantis as a candidate if he loses the earlier ones. Simply put, DeSantis candidacy has all the appearances of Scott Walker's did before he imploded before Iowa--running out of money and fading across the state polls. That is simply because he put GOPesters like Jeff Roe etc. in charge who are out to make a buck for themselves, not win.

The remainder of the GOP field as it stands are also people not really running for the brass ring and everytime the DOJ or various state prosecutors do another stunt, it diminishes what little air there is for other GOP candidates.

I think a late entry right now would have a better chance than the existing competitors to DJT if they can consolidate the not Trump vote.

Most any "legitimate" candidate that is Not Trump, is likely a GOPe "machine" candidate, and will have the same markings as such, and will not consolidate any voters that are "not Trump".
We are not voting our way out of this. The Curley effect has consolidated Democrat block voting power in big cities ALL OVER and they can manufacture as many votes as they need.
Black voters RARELY turn out 100% (more like 50%, like most demographics), but this can be monkeyed with as much as possible where the Democrats control who counts the votes.

542 His GOTV structure is already more significant than Trump's. And at least he understands what happened, because he fixed lots of issues in FL.
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo
--------
Umm, no sign of this in the primaries because I keep up with shit like that. In fact, he is cutting paid staff and putting all his chips on Iowa last that I saw campaign staffing expenditure reports.

Florida is not the US and the US is not Florida. Trump's approach will be continue to run rallies which did btw did work as GOTV despite being hampered by Covid and the Dems in 2020. Historically unprecedented increased turnout for an incumbent and all the prior examples won reelection despite much smaller increases (GWB in 2004 was last example).

To believe that Biden won by not even campaigning is one of the signs that people do not believe in the Big Cheat in 2020 and attribute all the increase in Biden's vote to hatred for Trump.

It is possible to believe that but it is an unstated foundation for many of the statements that DeSantis (or whoever) is more electable.

Which is the same chance I have: 0%.

1) Ron is not going to win the primary.
2) he has no plan--or policy-- that will win over Trump voters, motivate them to vote vs. sit home

I just can't see the math that says "anti-Trump voters gained is greater than Trump-voters lost."
It's just insane to think there's this huge pool of "I'll vote for Trump policies but not Trump " voters. There just isn't. No matter how many 10,000 word articles Con, Inc. writes.

Ask them about some anti-Trump stories that have been proven false, like drinking bleach.

Usually, it's more:
"Treated women like garbage all his life"
"Spews vile words a president never should"
"Stands for nothing - changes on a dime with the wind"
"Has lost his mind, too" (usually in relation to Biden now and discussing what he's said lately on Truth Social)
"Way too old"
"Treats his friends worse than his enemies"

It seems a rather futile effort to try to look so closely at these trees, when the forest is what it is.

I've said before: 1. Either Trump's the nominee, or 2. They kill him beforehand, or C. The R party pulls some shenanigans to get him cancelled.

I'm not predicting, but I think the latter two would tear the country/party apart. If that's what people want, so be it.

People desperate for someone other than Trump will pick up any hammer to use. Personally, I dunno if Trump can win or even be allowed to run. Ditto for DeSantis on winning or whoever the GOP puts up because there is a fundamental disagreement in the GOP as to whether the Big Cheat even occurred and if so, what to do about it in the 14 or so months before Nov.

But, one thing Trump CAN do as a candidate is destroy the GOP as we know it which in the end is more important in 2024 than winning. If winning means putting GOP grifters in office like Kemp, then even if you win, the American people will lose.

There are a lot of people who would like to but can't for various reasons. I think that paying attention to your city, county, and state elections and getting involved is important. Look at your school board elections and what the candidates are advocating. Join conservative minded groups that actually will take actions locally. Sure the cheating is daunting however, just giving in to it is not the answer.

583 CBD, it is past time for you try a drink of reality.

Rona Romney McDaniel is not resposible for the G.O.P. losses in 2018, 2020 or 2022. Were she singularly responsible, then she'd be more powerful than Darth Vader, Sauron and Thanos combined.
It's the goddamn G.O.P. who's resposible for all three! Rona is a face, a presenter and a coffee girl for the Chamber of Commerce, the ones who really run that political party.

FACT - 2018 was DELIBERATELY LOST in the U.S. House by Speaker Paul Ryan and the House Leadership. Trump wouldn't allow them to grift and graft for their mega donor pimps anymore, so they gave it up without a fight.
FACT - 2020 was STOLEN by Democrats and their Soros-Leftist allies with significant aid from Republican election officials, from canvasers, Secretaries of State and Governors.
FACT - 2022 was STOLEN again, using more of the previous rigged election tactics.

Go get some fucking help, CBD. I'm sorry that the TRUTH doesn't progress your clearly insane premise of Rona Romney McDaniel being the SOLE power behind whether we win or lose. But if it fits your NeverTrump view, then I suppose that's only how you know to cope. Crazy man!

584 The pollsters that are part of the machine WANT Trump to be the nominee. They honestly think they will defeat him just as they did in 2020. They think he's the one to beat, so they're going to plump him hard. No matter how many stupid things he says or does, they're going to push his numbers as unbeatable in the Republican primary.

They did it in 2016, thinking Cackles would beat him handily. Then she blew off some places and lost. They determined to not allow that in 2020, and they'll repeat in 2024.
