RFKJr. Makes the Ballot in Worst State for Biden -- Michiganistan
The Muslims are looking to show their political power by voting for someone other than Biden. They won't vote for Trump.
But they will vote for RFKJr.Joe Biden squeaked by in Michigan in 2020. He can't afford to lose a big chunk of voters in 2024. Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2016. Michigan is a crucial battleground state. Kennedy is working to get access to all 50 state ballots. RFK, Jr. was nominated by the Natural Law Party, a small party with ballot access in Michigan.... The news was confirmed by the Michigan Secretary of State's office. The Natural Law Party has filed its documents with the Bureau of Elections. Kennedy will appear on the ballot in November.This is bad for Biden. It's also bad for Israel -- Biden will now have to side with Hamas and Iran even more. Meanwhile, Israel launched disappointingly small missile attacks at targets in Syria and around the nuclear plant at Nanatz, Iran. But they didn't hit the reactor. The Jerusalem Post says this was a demonstration attack showing they could hit the reactor, and Iran's air defenses are completely unable to stop Israel.
Sources have confirmed to the Jerusalem Post that the attack on Iran at Isfahan, attributed by sources in the New York Times to Israel, hit Iranian air force assets at Isfahan, almost right next door to the Islamic Republic's nuclear site in the same area. The message was unmistakable, 'we chose not to hit your nuclear sites this time, but we could have done worse right here,' sources told the Post. In other words, the attack at Isfahan was designed not only to hurt Iran but also to make it eminently clear how vulnerable to attack its nuclear sites are.For its part, Iran is pretending that "infiltrators," not Israelis, were responsible for the blast, so that they aren't compelled to retaliate against Israel.

I suspect the real danger is older Democrats, tired of the direction of the Democrat Party but also tired of Trump, deciding that they want to return to the glory days of America when we had Camelot and not all this racial strife by voting for a Kennedy.

Meh. I don't think Joey Showers' anti-Israel policies have anything to do with Michigan demographics. He will either steal the state like he did in 2020, or he won't. The actual voting demographics mean little.
Joey Showers is anti-Israel because he's a leftwing shiteating cocksucker and all leftwing shiteating cocksuckers hate Israel. Obama was fucking over Israel while sucking off Muslim terror long before Michigan demographics was ever an issue. Nothing has changed.

Now could some legal shennaingans prevent that? Sure, but at least internally, they believe they will appear in all 50 states.

Don't disagree. It's all the same people from Obama's admin thinking all the same anti-Semitic thoughts. Jarret is fucking Iranian, FFS. Obama is a closet Muslim. Joey Showers has a personal vendetta against Israel going back to Menachem Begin. All three hate Israel and want to see it embarrassed and destroyed. But that is my point above: I think it's this age-old hatred that's animating Biden's pro-terror policies. Not Michigan demographics.

Cheating on behalf of an aging demented prezzie that no one really likes is a risky proposition. Has led to governments being unseated in other places. One of the top three reasons that governments are toppled is cheating in elections.
True communist states like the Norks, the USSR back in the day, or China are a bit different and despite our problems in the US, we don't have that here yet. The Deep State is working on it but the coming government finance failure is likely to work against consolidating into a truly authoritarian state. More likely to splinter into pieces than for an effective consolidation to happen.

>>I can recall Jugears, on a Netanyahu visit to the WH, forcing him to exit from the back door into an alley. Something outrageous like that.
Not just that: For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation, The Times reported Friday.
After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Obama walked out of his meeting with Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a U.S. congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.
“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages,” poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House telephone line. ...

PS - If it goes to the house, VA is currently 6 Ds, 5 Rs for a D vote for Pres...so if anyone is in VA, while Trump will lose the state, you wanna vote your R congressman and see if we can flip the state back 6-5 our way...7th district would be the big opportunity (although we could lose the 2nd)...

I suspect the real danger is older Democrats, tired of the direction of the Democrat Party but also tired of Trump, deciding that they want to return to the glory days of America when we had Camelot and not all this racial strife by voting for a Kennedy.
---
Yeah
They could cheat to the win if the Muslims stay home, so long as the old Dems still vote.
But old Dems and Muslims staying home or voting for RFK Jr?
They can't overcome that.
Especially if it's a vote to send a message. People are irrational like that.
Consider: All the polls showing Trump with just a slight lead, all the hysteria over "Trump the dictator!," "white nationalists!," etc.?
That's a full-court press to cattle prod their base, fear then into voting for Biden, "you can't afford to send a message."
But, the risk of overplaying their hand is huge.
Many are going to see through the hysteria, especially recalling nothing bad like that happened when Trump was president.
And, worse, it could cascade--Trump really does move ahead, and swing state votes think he's going to win, so a protest vote is "safe."
It's gonna get uglier.

Ah, but they've been flexing their power across the country since 10/7 by closing down bridges, tunnels, and airports during key traffic times (Thanksgiving and Christmas travel), they've been protesting various celebrations like the Macy's Thanksgiving parade and Times Square NYE, they've been non-stop protesting on college campuses, sit-ins in Congressional offices, Google, college leadership, going to city council meetings to chant/shout down/demand they make a Palestinian state their priority, they've twice (IIRC) mobbed the US Capital and the National Mall (and vandalized it), and so on. They MSM has been carefully downplaying it and refusing to connect them as one coordinated movement.
I doubt many normies have a full view of the extent to which they have been forcing their demands on us for the last six months, but I would imagine they have been harassing elected officials at all levels quite effectively. I suspect this is not just about Michigan, not be a long shot.

Whih 3 states can Kennedy possibly win? RCP curently has Trump at 295 electoral votes. He's already at 48-49% in most of the battlegrounds. You telling me that Kennedy is going to pull those numbers down at this point? From Trump? He might prevail in really really blue states but there is no way that he is going to change the dynamic in the places already pretty solidly for Trump. It's not like people don;t already know lhe is out there. He is only pulling 5-8% in three way polling and Trump stil comes out ahead.

At least that's what the Algonquin told me when I was their shaman from the bronze age through 1974. They called me the Medicine Man back then, just like my own docs do til this day.
Anyway, that's why I thought it was a Wendigo when it ate Beau. I caught him in a dreamcatcher, and then found out it was just the smartest guy I know. He only ate 'im to save 'im from the cancer. I told that dreamcatcher it had six seconds to release him, or I'd kill every damn buffalo on the Great Plains. And whaddya know, but I killed 'em all, and now that guy is my Minister of Foreign Hookers. Word as a Brandon.

Trump has been attempting and has succeeded to a large degree to steal the working class division but Republican politicians rather lose than absorb that group.

154 Whih 3 states can Kennedy possibly win? RCP curently has Trump at 295 electoral votes. He's already at 48-49% in most of the battlegrounds. You telling me that Kennedy is going to pull those numbers down at this point? From Trump? He might prevail in really really blue states but there is no way that he is going to change the dynamic in the places already pretty solidly for Trump. It's not like people don;t already know lhe is out there. He is only pulling 5-8% in three way polling and Trump stil comes out ahead.

The Wendigo possesses stick thin guys with pale skin and sunken eyes and yellow teeth, and makes 'em eat people. Can't stop the hunger, jack! At least that's what the Algonquin told me when I was their shaman from the bronze age through 1974. They called me the Medicine Man back then, just like my own docs do til this day.
Anyway, that's why I thought it was a Wendigo when it ate Beau. I caught him in a dreamcatcher, and then found out it was just the smartest guy I know. He only ate 'im to save 'im from the cancer. I told that dreamcatcher it had six seconds to release him, or I'd kill every damn buffalo on the Great Plains. And whaddya know, but I killed 'em all, and now that guy is my Minister of Foreign Hookers. Word as a Brandon.

Israel shows their power and restraint in one elegant and tactful move. Interesting gambit.
I remember the 80's teen movie trope where the hero gets into a fight with the bully but doesn't actually hurt him, he merely deflects all the blows heading his way. At the end, he throws bully to the ground and launches a kill shot palm strike to the face. But he doesn't actually connect and stops one inch away. The bully now knows he's been beaten and humiliated and the fight ends.
Some times that works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess time will tell.
To go back to hollywood tropes, some people just want to watch the world burn.

PS - For those unaware, if no presidential candidate gets to 270, the THREE top presidential candidate names then are sent to the House (while the top 3 VP ones are sent to the Senate), and each state's delegation votes for 1 name...and majority wins.
So, RFK could win 1 state and be selected president if he gets an election where no one hits 270.
This is also why you need to vote R Senate. With delegations of 2, the votes for VP will be even more crucial to stop any post-election nonsense.

Pretty much all of those protests seen in the media are fake crap designed to sway public opinion in a crisis. Organic, they are not.
Agreed. Seems that the same bunch of 60's radicals have had a hand in most protest movements since they started (the kind that pop up every 4 years IYKWIM), including BLM, OWS, #MeToo, Bush era anti-war, etc.
They do this because it works. It gets the Democrats focused on their demands because they know they can't get elected without the support of the aggrieved demographic du jour. This year, it's Palestinians.

It’s a good observation because politics is actually the art of dividing people to accumulate and maintain power. Once you’ve got the base secured you can only work on the margins.
Trump has been attempting and has succeeded to a large degree to steal the working class division but Republican politicians rather lose than absorb that group.

The GOP is and has been a dead party for decades mouthing pieties but then doing the opposite in power on wars, taxes, trade, national security, the economy, and immigration.
It is only the fact that the Dems have become insane in governance that the GOP manages to scrape together enough votes from its base that votes for the GOP for self defense reasons--not passion.
Trump and a few others are trying to revive the corpse of the GOP rather than create a new party but I am not sure they can be successful. But it is worth a vote and support to those reformers if they can teach the elephant to dance.

I suspect the real danger is older Democrats, tired of the direction of the Democrat Party but also tired of Trump, deciding that they want to return to the glory days of America when we had Camelot and not all this racial strife by voting for a Kennedy.

For its part, Iran is pretending that "infiltrators," not Israelis, were responsible for the blast
I have a theory about that but not sharing. Israel knows how to play the game and if I'm correct don't wanna tip Iran off.
Bonus points: If they *really* do think it was an inside job it only adds to their paranoia, which will lead to further crackdown on citizens, which could lead to those citizens deciding they'd be better off without the mullahs. I saw a video on X where the police are cracking down on women not covering their hair in public.

Monarchies have the same problem that democracies do--they degenerate over time because there is no foolish ruler prevention strategy.
The Romans and later Byzantines probably had the best system for monarchy where they 'adopted' someone and trained them to be their successor rather than relying on the genetic lottery. Unfortunately, enough rulers like Marcus Aurelius etc. ignored that system in favor of promoting their beloved spawn that were incompetent and/or evil buffoons.

The film's title was announced as Last Train to Hiroshima.[96] Cameron met Yamaguchi just days before he died.[96] The film would be based on the book of the same by Charles R. Pellegrino.[97] However, the project entered into development hell after Cameron decided to first focus on the Avatar sequels."
The entry has obviously not been updated recently because Cameron was saying it was possibly his next project after Avatar 3 last year.

Trump and a few others are trying to revive the corpse of the GOP rather than create a new party but I am not sure they can be successful. But it is worth a vote and support to those reformers if they can teach the elephant to dance.

I don't need them to dance so much as Sit, Stay, and quit waltzing over to the Democrats on everything.

As I said, it's technically possible, but it never comes close. It's, at best, an interesting academic exercise. It's, at worst (mostly when featured in prominent places), a waste of column space.

MAYBE - TX and FL also only get 1 vote...and states with 1 House member gets TONS of power. So, you need to vote R everywhere. Like VA. it's a 1 vote difference in the party delegation makeup right now, and it's the wrong way...

While I'm all for DJT becoming number 47 (which will be 24/7 365 drama, just like last time) I think if we have learned anything since 2015 is that a President is either all powerful or he controls nothing. The reality is that all modern presidents are being controlled, not the other way around.

Trump currently at 295 with 104 tossups. Even if he doesn;t get a single tossup, he still wins. Biden is getting worse every day. All of a sudden things are starting to trend to the right. There is a very different dynamic going into this election than last time. The POCs soldily for Ds last time, not so much this time. Whatever they got paid to do the dirty work last time does not outweigh inflation and being overrun by illegals taking their benefits.

Being on the ballot ina all 50 is huge.
Being pissed enough to sue, a la Jill Stein, will be even bigger.
Judges were a-ok tossing Orange Man Bad suits for lack of harm/ standing. Especially with the dodge, "he would have lost anyway."
But RFK Jr, those parties do suffer harm even in a loss: Because even a few thousand more votes gets them auto ballot access and federal matching next cycle.

What is RFK's angle here? He obviously has no chance of winning. And he's gonna take more votes from Biden than Trump. So what gives? It is the usual ego and greed? Or is it more because RFK -- or those backing him -- hate Biden/Obama and want to see them beaten and bloodied, even if it means electing Trump?

He has ruined the economy, created an international crisis and exposed the DEI regime's incompetence. He is polling under 40% in job approval even from left leaning pollsters. There is no one enthusiastic about voting for him let alone cheating for him.

People seem to forget that 2022 happened, and there was a lot of out in the open cheating there, too.
The two examples I use are the PA SoS sending out 250,000 illegal ballots "accidentally" to be cured, and the AZ SoS effectively turning of signature verification for mail in ballots which was declared illegal by a federal court months afterwards (though the election not rerun for some reason).
Mail in ballots are where they do the mass level cheating now, and there's nothing stopping them from outright breaking the law, in the open, and getting restrained. The courts would have to turn against them for that.

And the sampling technique is whether the sampling was RDD, convenience like internet polling is, or actual combination of phone calls, texts, internet, etc.

@289..."what is RFK's angle here?...he's gonna take more votes from Biden than Trump"
An essential aspect of political fortification is plausibility. Doesn't have to be particularly persuasive or able to withstand close scrutiny. Just has to be plausible enough to get repeated relentlessly through a news cycle or two and settle into conventional wisdom. Like "Supreme Court overturning Roe led to unprecedented turnout for Democrats."
I wouldn't dismiss the idea that "RFK Jr got a decisive number of independent/center right votes, which led to a Biden victory" will settle into conventional wisdom by Thanksgiving.

Like "Supreme Court overturning Roe led to unprecedented turnout for Democrats."
I wouldn't dismiss the idea that "RFK Jr got a decisive number of independent/center right votes, which led to a Biden victory" will settle into conventional wisdom by Thanksgiving.

I think a lot of dissatisfied Dems are telling pollsters they support RFK. And they mean it. Today. As the election draws closer the vast majority of them will go back to Biden. Because even though Biden sucks he sucks less than Trunp, In their eyes.

The left had foot soldiers in 2020 to carry out the cheat. It can;t be done without them. Those same foot soldiers have been shafted by this regime. Their hubris endorsing unlimited immigration, sending billions of dollars overseas, sending prices through the roof has hit home. There is no chance that lputting Biden back in office is going to put them in line in front of illegals and hate America Muslims.

True... But these people have run roughshod over 350m people while laughing in their faces for decades. It's been an entirely consequence-free environment for every last man jack in the lot. They believe they can do whatever they want. So maybe they force Brandon over the finish line and rerun 20-24, or rerun 16-20 instead, but they're not worried about any disaster. It's just YOLO time for them.

Mail in ballots are where they do the mass level cheating now, and there's nothing stopping them from outright breaking the law, in the open, and getting restrained. The courts would have to turn against them for that.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
TJM, I like you but I follow fraud and have actually done a bit of published research on it awhile back. Fraud requires two parts aside from simply ballot stuffing. The first part is fictitious registrants--dead, moved, floaters (aka homeless), and illegals (felons in some states, nursing home residents with dementia, and illegal immigrants). The second is the mail in ballot. But, in almost every state, parties can challenge the issuance of a mail ballot and stop it by demonstrating the non existence of the person or that particular voter is illegally registered (felon, dementia, etc.).
In many states, that person is still eligible to vote in person but without voter id and the infrastructure needed, it is far harder and much less common for people to fraudulently vote in person.

@349..."RFK makes their cheating more difficult"
Not sure. Stuffing ballot box for Biden will be a tough sell this year. But "RFK Jr protest vote unexpectedly took more out of Trump than Biden" is a lot easier. Confusing, first of all, which will help a lot in the few short weeks before election is certified. Plausibility is all that's required.

If they had to directly tie individual votes to registrations, then I'd consider this a serious hurdle. But they don't have to do that. They just have to keep it under the total voter threshold.
And even then, Philly can get away with 105% turnout. Where's the voter roll maintenance matter in that scenario?
And again, PA didn't "accidentally" send out 250,000 illegal mail in ballots in 2022 because they were worried about looks of impropriety or keeping with a good margin. They did it because the courts had decided that any cheating was fine as long as Democrats won.
That's the incentive structure now: Democrats do anything and everything to win, courts sign off on it or, at worst, give them a slap on the wrist months later.
Throw in the unalloyed fact that no state-level GOP structure in purple states will seriously fight, and you've got 2024 being a massive, in the open, cheat fest.

“Market reaction: initial panic selling, but gradually as it becomes clear that this is just a token “scripted” response to the token “scripted” initial attack by Iran – which achieved absolutely nothing – markets are rebounding.”

Biden and the Democrats will not need Michigan after they flip Texas with illegal alien votes. I fully expect Texas to be stolen by Deep State in November. They have shrunk a 1.7mil vote (23%) difference in 2004 down to 631k (6%) in 2020. Well within reach of stealing, especially considering how many millions of illegal aliens have been invading Texas over the past 4 years.
2000: R+1.365 mil (+22%)
2004: R+1.704mil (+23%)
2008: R+950k (+12%)
2012: R+1.261mil (+16%)
2016: R+807k (+9%)
2020: R+631k (+6%)
2000: R+1.365 mil (+22%)

2008: R+950k (+12%)

6% is less than what Trump needed to flip Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in 2016.
Wisconsin:
2012: D+213k (+6.9%)

Michigan:

2016: R+10.7k (+0.2%)
Pennsylvania:
2012: D+309k (+5.4%)

Democrats do not need to worry about losing Michigan's 16 electoral votes when they know they have Texas' 40 electoral votes in the bag.
