There is a great deal of manipulation and falsehood in media presentation of the 2020 election. These lies and false constructs generate a great deal of anxiety. That said, there are two specific approaches by the narrative engineers that deserve a strong reminder.
♦The first purposeful approach media use to create and embed their false assumptions is a slight of hand that few notice, and it can create anxiety. In normal term-two election cycles the baseline for media analysis should be the incumbent electoral win in term one.
The accurate baseline should be what states the incumbent (Trump) won in the prior 2016 election. From that position the analysis should then discuss what states the challenger (Biden) needs to take in order to win. The reason is simple, the incumbent already has a track record -so the assumption should be on retention of the previous outcome. However, with President Trump the media doesn’t do this.
The media now position President Trump’s opposition Joe Biden as if he has already won states and Trump needs to win them back. Essentially they flip the baseline to build upon their skewed and false polling narratives. They never did this with any prior elections.
In Obama’s 2012 term-two race he was assumed to have support in all the states he won in 2008, and Mitt Romney had to overcome states Obama was ‘holding’.
However, in this 2020 term-two race the media analysis doesn’t start out by giving President Trump his previous victories. This makes it easier for them to falsely assert a more difficult path to victory.
Watch for this in all media analysis of the race and you will see exactly what they are doing. The approach is subtle, and the purpose is psychological.
♦ The next issue to remind yourself about is “Exit Polling.”
All exit polling is pushed by media in their effort to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. The election year media polling is already skewed with manipulated outcomes; they do the same thing with the exit polling, only they do it on election day in rapid succession.
Again, just a brief reminder:… if the media are willing to set up planted audience members to the benefit of Joe Biden (they have); and if the media are willingly and purposefully going to manipulate debate moderators, debate questions and non-questions, and town-hall audience scripts to undermine President Trump (again, they have); then what do you think those same media outlets are doing with their polling?
Put another way: If the media are willing to create intentionally false impressions for broadcast what are they doing with the polling they are paying for?
The same manipulative approach happens with “exit polling.”
As we saw in 2016 the exit polling was exactly the opposite of the election result. At 5:00pm Eastern the media were proclaiming Hillary Clinton the clear winner based on their “exit polls.” The national polling places were not even closed yet.
For hours this narrative was pushed despite central timezone and west coast still voting. Additionally, despite warnings those media pronouncements created a tremendous amount of anxiety amid Trump supporters. You will remember by 9pm the actual results started coming in and they showed something entirely different. The exact opposite of the exit polling.
The media never explained why their “exit polling” was so wrong; they just moved on to the attack and resistance approach against President-Elect Trump.
They didn’t explain the difference because media did not make mistakes with exit polls, or carry the wrong approach toward gathering the outcomes. The media FABRICATED the content of the exit polls, and they did so with specific and purposeful intent.
Exit polls are entirely manufactured to give the election analysts a narrative for broadcast. That is their only purpose. Ignore MSM Exit Polling !
2 more days to flatten the perv.
Sharply hilarious!
Big Trump Flag Wave today in Tucson…
MAGA
Best election comment ever.
????
????????????????????????
What more could I say??? Eh!!!!
Dee Paul: Exceptionally Witty
I wish I could take credit. I stole it from a commenter on another site.
Dee Paul Deje,
Not stole, Just repurposed it.??
Dee Paul: Honest, that “Trumps” witty any day.
That’s how we roll around here ☺
LMAO!!! Sharing!!!
Deceptions work for MSM..just like in 2016, the eve of the election, Megan at Fix News couldn’t bring herself to announce Trump won Pennsylvania. I will never forget that night. I was watching counts come in and knew Trump won Pa. But she refused to acknowledge.
Megan at 8:00 EST stated that the big winner for the night was Marco Rubio, because he would be tne RNC nominee in 2020. Also the Senate would be 50/50 and VP Tim Kaine would be the deciding vote.
She is okay, the fools at NBC paid her 69 million for nothing.
These people are paid very highly to be highly wrong. Shameful.
They don’t think…they merely read a prompter! Good job if you can get it. Megan used her “tools” to get her big break but alas, it lost its luster.
These people are paid very highly not because they are assets. They are paid highly because of their lie-ability!
Already voted and just want to thank you, Sundance, for all the hard work you do everyday for us.
mg, I wholeheartedly share your gratitude for Sundance’s diligence and excellent research. I voted for President Trump in 2016 and voted for him again on Tuesday of last week at a different small, uncrowded polling station way on the other side of town.
Sundance is again100% correct about these two main deceptions.
A glaring example that everyone can look at now to confirm his point on the “baseline” deception is to simply go to the website http://www.270towin.com. As you can see, they have almost completely hidden the normal “starting point” of selecting “2016 Actual results” to fill out the beginning electoral map.
It took me a while to find that choice in their drop-down menu because they have hidden that natural starting point way near the bottom of the drop-down menu choices.
When one starts the map with “2016 Actuals”, a conservative’s anxiety level drops immediately. Try it yourself on there site and you will see.
Thank you Sundance !!!
Another useful choice for political junkies like me to use as a baseline starting point is to select “2016 Very Close” from the “Map Library” drop down menu. This colors in the map in a fashion that show the importance of the battleground states to achieve 270 electoral votes. The tricky part in this starting point is the divided electoral votes in Nebraska and Maine which are sometimes needed to get from 268/269 electoral votes to 270 votes.
Dancer, thanks for the link to the interactive map. I had so much fun just switching it back and forth from “2020 Consensus” and “2016 Actuals”, watching their “consensus” turn from blue to red!
MAGA on!!
A predictive red wave!
Squatty,
Try this to illustrate the multiple electoral paths that get Trump to 270.
First select “2016 Very Close” from the “Map Library” drop down menu.
Then tap Florida and North Carolina and Arizona to turn them Red. This gets us to 259.
Then tap Nebraska a few times to turn it completely Red to get to 260.
Now, we only need 10 more to get 270 to win, and as you can see there are many ways to get those final 10 points:
– first choice is a win in any of the four mid-West Rust Belt states (Minn, or Wisc or Mich or Penn) then boom! Game over for sleepy Joe
– even if we lose all four of those mid-west states, we can still get 10 more by winning Nevada + New Hampshire then boom! Game over for sleepy Joe
– or Colorado + the single vote in the Maine1 District then boom! Game over for sleepy Joe
– or NewMex + New Hampshire + the single vote in the Maine1 District then boom! Game over for sleepy Joe
– or other MAGA red wave options then boom! Game over for sleepy Joe
Live your best life, and go vote! then boom! Game over for sleepy Joe
Good stuff.
For those that are REAL political junkies, you can have even more fun with the 2020 Senate election interactive map. Scroll down to see which senators are running, who are incumbents and who are not. Consider using your selections based on Trump’s coattails and the states you predict he will take to the Electoral College.
https://www.270towin.com/2020-senate-election/
Dancer, would like your analysis on how many we’ll end up with (Senators, that is) and which states may be the surprises.
I-see-your-vision,
I have been reading a writer at RedState that goes by the pen name of davenj1
This writer has recently finished a series of articles that look at the Presidential, Senate, and House races in each state. In each state he makes predictions as to the projected winners. I can’t vouch for his/her predictions.
Here is a summary of his predictions:
– Trump wins with no less than 299 electoral votes with no more than 239 for Biden.
– Trumps wins FL, OH, PA, Wisconsin, AZ, (but not Minnesota)
– The GOP retains the Senate with a 55-45 majority
– AZ McSally loses
– Mich John James wins
– NC Tillis wins
– ME Susan Collins wins
– Georgia GOP keeps both seats
– Colorado Gardener win
– Iowa Joni Ernst wins
– Montana Steve Dianes wins
– NM the GOP’s Mark Ronchetti loses
– Minnesota GOP’s Jason Lewis loses
– GOP takes back the House 221-214.
This davenj1 person could be all wrong.
My own predictions are as follows:
The GOP increases its lead in the Senate with a 56-44majority
– AZ McSally wins
– Mich John James wins
– NC Tillis wins
– ME Susan Collins loses
– Georgia GOP keeps both seats
– Colorado Cory Gardener wins
– Iowa Joni Ernst wins
– Montana Steve Dianes wins
– New Mexico GOP’s Mark Ronchetti loses
– Minnesota GOP’s Jason Lewis wins
– SC Graham wins
– GOP takes back the House
– Trump landslide

mtndancer: No anxiety here, I’m excited!
This is from the most radical of progressives during the primary – point is the establishment candidate is so weak and pathetic – this game they are playing is going to poss off a lot of progressives. They won’t let this happen again.

This jerk is one of the co-founders of ‘Justice Democrats’ responsible for getting AOC + 3 installed. It was beautiful to see his 2016 election night reaction when DJT was winning and there was nothing he could do about it. Talk about heads exploding!
Cenk revealed as much about the corrupt Hillary as he did about Biden in that little near apoplectic tirade. Thanks for posting the reminder….very satisfying/gratifying to watch on this Monday morning.
Thank you for that. Hearing the anxiety in this anti-American’s voice was a great way to start the day.
Yes, as others have stated gives this Monday a much appreciated boost
Thanks!
Shorter explaination: The media are purveyors of Bovine Scat.
Reason: They want to control you in service of the globalist collectivist totalitarians.
It is particularly important for those on the west coast (later time zones) to keep this in mind. Keep the propaganda shut off!
Fifty years ago I learnt not to trust the media. I was involved in my first protest and the media so distorted our message that this became my last protest. Since then the situation in the mainstream media has only deteriorated. If there are unnamed sources or you are not given a link to a full address, statement or complete original sources it should have no credibility. A careful reading will reveal internal contradictions and flawed logic. Teach your children discernment.
Excellent post! Yes, discernment is key but that requires being willing and able to look at facts and far too many people now simply go off of their “feelings”.
Way back in the early 80s, when I was a journalism student in college, the rules for using “anonymous sources” were very different. We had to have gotten the same information from at least two different people, who were not connected to each other, and they had to be willing to go public if their information was challenged, unless there was an actual risk of danger to them if their identity was revealed. Otherwise, all sources were identified by their name and title and enough documentation was included in the story that the reader could be confident in its accuracy.
Also, there was a clear line drawn between a hard news story and an editorial piece. News was to give the reader the facts about what had happened or what was going to happen and there was no attempt to “shape a narrative”. An editorial was a signed opinion piece and the reader could agree or not, depending upon how they felt about the subject and/or the author.
It wasn’t perfect but it sure was a lot better than what we are being fed now!! And the worst part of it is how few people actually understand how much it has all changed (or they are too young to know anything different) and so they accept everything that they see or read as proven fact and simply refuse to consider that it may well be completely false!!
“Hands up, don’t shoot” is probably one of the most famous examples in the world today. It was a lie from the beginning but almost everyone I know still insists that it happened… Scary stuff indeed!
Brokaw, Jennings and Rather were your three talking heads in the 80s, unless you could get CNN. They were all biased and you had to choose based on whom you thought was least biased. I learned to despise all three talking heads and didn’t get CNN.
Yes indeed sense. I was so turned off back in the 80’s by these propagandists, I even resorted to PBS, Laher and ?. Then gave up entirely until I discovered Rush in 90 by accident and that turned my world around, later FOX and the internet. ‘Thank God for Rush Limbaugh’ as the song says.
MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour. I forgot about PBS, but that was the other alternative.
I’m old enough-scratch that-experienced enough to remember Walter Cronkite every night in his sign off saying, “And that’s the way it is this (whatever the date was)”.
I would sometimes yell at the TV, “That ain’t the way it is! That’s the way YOU say it is you #$*&!”
He committed voter fraud. He wrote that in his autobiography.
I have to confess that I’ve never been tempted to read his autobiography…and never will. LOL.
I learned all about that guy from my dad’s derisive snort of “What’s Walter Crankcase lyin’ about tonight?”
Now my 89-yr. old dad sees President Trump on the screen and yells, “Give ’em hell, Donald!”
I like your dad already, riverelf.
A high-ranking official with knowledge of the matter says you are correct!
The media has been blatantly lying since the 1968 Tet Offensive and subtly lying for years prior to that.
Yes, we all the know. The US military won the Vietnam War, but the marxists ensconsed in our government were working for others. Supposedly America had it first “defeat.” Yeah, sure.
The budget for Vietnam to stand by itself was $500 million…THE DEMS VOTED THE BUDGET DOWN AND VIETNAM became what is described as a “Killing Field”…Since that time I have never TRUSTED AND DEM AND/OR REPUB AND THE NEWS.
vietnam – ’71-’72!!!
I used to visit a Vietnamese Orphanage run by Vietnamese Nuns to see the kids, a lot of them were fathered by Americans and were shunned by their families. We would bring them food and clothing. When I left in Jan 1972 after a year in country I have often wondered what became of them when the country fell. When I was stationed at Andrews we sponsored several families coming to the USA, many of them the families of Vietnamese soldiers who fought with us. I was really angry that President Ford didn’t fight more to at least give that country a fighting chance after we left. But that was the environment back then. The country was tired.
377th Security Police Sq ’71-’72
Vietnamese kids who had an American parent were shunned by the Vietnamese population at large in-country. That is why so many were in orphanages because their moms were socially destroyed and giving them up helped to improve the mother’s life, but only marginally.
A Vietnamese kid fathered by an American black was even more or a pariah, as was the mom. Either way, both types of kids were considered lepers in their communities along with their mothers and completely shut out. They were treated horribly.
A tour-de-force movie in 2004 entitled A Beautiful Country recounts the life of a Vietnamese Ameriasian. The movie is stunning as it is heartbreaking to see to what lengths people will undergo to come to our country. See it if you can. Here are some reviews to entice you.

I hope you are a member of the Viet Nam Security Police Association and the USAF Security Forces Association. I’m a life member of both.
YES I AM TO VSPA but not the USAF Security Forces Association…will register for the second one now…AND THANK YOU…ALSO, you going to the REUNION at Peterson AFB, Colo next year?
I’m not sure yet
Just Joined the USAF Security Forces Ass. LIFETIME!!!
Great to hear!
They did the same thing to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. The deal was to support the Nationalists in China post-WW II but the Dimms cut the aid to them in 1948 leading to the communist’s victory. BTW China stills owe the American public BIGLY for bonds sold during the war that the PRC decided not to honor contravening international law.
Just MAYBE that is what OUR VSG is angling for…Paying off those BONDS when they are presented…OH MY…guess the Xi is going to need a Depends when the load drops!!!
Good point, but it all started when they saw a couple beads of sweat on Nixon’s brow back in the 1960 debate with JFK. “Camera 2, zero in on that sweat again!” After that, the agenda was written and expanded.
The Tet Offensive was the beginning of the end for us in Viet Nam. I guess a better student of history would know of other wars where the winner broke the back of the loser as we broke the back of the V.C. in that one battle, and then had their government lose the war. I was a 21 year old Army officer at the time and have never looked at my government the same since.
In October of 2003, I was planning for the rotation in Iraq. We were winning handily at that point, but many of us were asking what the plan was for the next phase. That was the beginning of the killing of our soldiers with IED’s. They killed or maimed thousands because we wanted to show the world we were nice people and would not “Interfere” in the culture we had just blown up…. To this day I blame Bush for allowing this to happen. You go to war to win, not to sustain, or you don’t go at all.
Saw somewhere that that bastion of fairness and balance on Faux News, Donna Brazilezuela, said that LBJ was the greatest President of all time. Says all you need to know about her Socialist self. I still wonder how she thinks the Great Society, which broke up nuclear families, kept people of color in public housing and on welfare, stifled education, and initiated riot as the preferred form of protest is doing for people of color today? Yes he brought in the Voting Rights Act but a little deep research should tell her why (and it had NOTHING to do with compassion or empathy–she needs to understand why it’s called the plantation).
Some Democrat people are so entrenched in their hatred of anyone not dyed in the wool Demo-Socialist that they won’t listen to anything but the communications wing of the party, aka MSM. The media moguls need Democrat leadership. They know that their very existence is dependent on an ignorant and complicit following and by banging the DNC talking point drum every minute of every day, they know they can brainwash those without the will or ability to think and reason for themselves. They still don’t realize that they are the ones who gave us Trump and for that we will always be grateful. We saw them ignore Bubba’s sexual antics in the Oval but, even at that time, much was still attributed to the woman as “asking for it”. We heard them play on endless loops Obama saying that their wasn’t even a hint of scandal in his administration. He was right on one point–there wasn’t a hint, there was a frickin armada! Now look at Joe and his abuse of power. Alinsky again–they accused President Trump of abusing power just to keep their faithful from actually seeing that it was Democrats, not Trump, who are the serial abusers!
Spiritual discernment?
My “come to Jesus” moment regarding the media manipulations came
with two situations:
1) In Illinois there was a march for equal pay for women; and, yes, at that
time 30/40 years ago it was very true; employers at will paid women less
than men for the same exact job. Two of my more liberal friends
invited me to go with them to Springfield, Illinois to watch the march.
We went and it was peaceful and composed mostly of moms and dads
pushing strollers. When we came home and I turned on the news, it
only showed a few lesbians chained to the state’s capital building.
2) I noticed that the television media (only the alphabet news at that time)
would put photos of the candidates on the screen when they were
talking politics. The republican candidate would be on the left as one
looked at the screen and the democrat on the right. The republican’s
photo would be horrible looking and the democrat would be all
smiling and cheerful. Yahoo does it and worse each day today!
Everyone who voted Trump last election is voting Trump this election. The enthusiasm for Trump is off the charts. We see that in the organic Trump auto and boat events. Biden has near zero draw. It should be an easy victory.
Quid Pro Joe can’t even draw flies.
scrap1ron, can’t draw flies even with the s__t he spews!
MAGA ??
The outlier here is the level of cheat and bull-chittery the sims are able to pull off. Otherwise the real vote should be a landslide.
It’s all about the fraud now.
I think they give false positive polls for Biden because they need to
cover up their vote cheating plans. After all, it would look very strange
if they told us that President Trump was leading in most states by double
digits, then on election day Biden won.
Of course, they propped up Hillary in 2016 and it didn’t work and
President Trump did win. However, their screaming and tantrum
throwing afterwards was more because they knew they were
cheating and they didn’t do enough of it to win. Trump voters 2016
overcame all of it.
I listened to a little of Obama’s drivel at the Honkin’ Joe rally on Saturday pleading to those horns to not only support his “good friend” Joe but also to be sure to elect Democrats in the Attorney General, Secretary of State and Gubernatorial races. First, I was really glad to know that he supports his “good friend” Joe. It seems that this support only came out after he chose Heels Up. It was obvious that the couch dweller was Barry’s first choice until Nancy Polident assured him that she could use Jim Clyburn to get Joe as the nominee (thus the explanation for Heels Up’s withdrawal after clearly painting a picture for the world to see that Honkin’ Joe was a racist) and that then she could “reimagine” the 25th amendment to sack him after the election in favor of Heels Up. Barry also worked with Joe’s CCP contacts to help “spread a little joy over the US and worked with Cuomo to eliminate the old folks in New York quickly and in a way that would pin the virus to Trump’s forehead”. Will the plan in fact work? Depends on how many boxes of ballots come out of the woodwork in the next week. The only way Honkin’ Joe wins is through not only ballot harvesting but sufficient manure application to make them bloom nationwide!
Wonder if the CCP paid for that little Massachusetts “cottage” Barry and Mike have now???
amjean: And we will do it again in 2020.
In 2004 I was in my classroom after school watching the election coverage. It was around 3:30 pm eastern time, really early to be calling the results. But the exit polls were saying that GW Bush was losing. I was really demoralized and thought of not even bothering to vote on the way home. In my car I was listening to the radio and came across Sean Hannity’s show. Didn’t know much about him at that time but I remember him talking about the exit polls and how we needed to ignore them and vote no matter what. He gave me hope and I did vote and Bush was reelected. I learned to ignore the exit polls back then, but it’s always good to have a reminder.
And even though Sean is too long-winded for me to watch him on Fox, he does serve a purpose to those out there who haven’t yet found CTH.
Sean “99% of the FBI are good people” Hannity?
Sean “I love shopping at Walmart” Hannity.
Sure you do pal.
After he goes to martial arts training with Sensei.
LOL He’s not that bright, but, I think he may serve the low info voters, so fine with me,
Sean Hannity was the only one in media in 2016 supported PDJT the entire way. The only one who didn’t belittle him or treat him like a joke. I will always remember that. Sean isn’t perfect, but he helped PDJT win in 2016.
Michael Savage, the original “Borders, Language, Culture” advocate, preceded Trump’s run, and had him on his radio show repeatedly in 2016.
Savage had him on repeatedly since 2011. Met him at a party, heard him out, realized he was the guy, and started giving him air time.
Deb: I agree with some criticisms of him, but you are correct, and I did and still do appreciate what he has done to support our POTUS.
PLEASE,please, please.. Let’s not eat one of our own!!!!!
After he goes to martial arts training with Sensei.
Sean Hannity is really a very nice man. I once shared a flight with him, and he was very nice to all. That goes a long way with me, as I have seen the opposite so many times.
If you come to the treehouse you really are not his audience, you want real meat. He suffers from “interuptous” but that is common from good radio people, as they can not have dead air.
I see that some talk about his FBI (Federal Bureau of Intimidation) support, that comes from the fact of knowing members that are in his family and associates.
You will notice the POTUS sometimes features him in his campaign video at rallies, so I am not alone in my respect for him.
My friends wear me out calling in a panic because they watch the news media.
I spend a lot of time correcting all the false information they get from the news.
I credit Sundance for giving me the information I need in order to calm them down.
Me too……. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have told my friends, families and neighbors dozens, if not over a hundred times, since 2016 election that they must watch, listed and read different media because of all the false info that has been out there the last four yrs. i have referred them to CTH in just about every one of those times. I feel good about this election and thank CTH for providing facts, spreading optimism, and keeping us focused on forward thinking progress. Thanks CRH. We all must now do our part and ask 3-5 or more people to vote who may need some “encouragement”.
My only concern is the propaganda both from MSM and internet having a real effect. I live in the burbs, I see it in my neighborhood. I feel like we will overcome, but I believe it is real.
They wouldn’t utilize propaganda if it didn’t work. Keep being a beacon of truth.
Biden is a proof of tactics and the cynical belief that if you control the media, and can cheat to fill in the gaps, you can elect a rusty dumpster for any office.
The boat, car, tractor, horse and buggy parades are an attempt to counter the media monopoly. And Trump is using Genius to counter the Globalists / Communists coup.
The winner will rule our future.
In God We Trust.
You know you back a winner when even the Amish have a Trump buggy parade!
28 angelica28: That’s was my thought too. When the Amish turn out, it’s so over for the Dems.
POTUS needs to go ahead and take Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin to nullify the vote steal that is already planned in Pennsylvania. Because of ‘mail in voting’, the number of ballots that can be manufactured is practically unlimited. Now you can see that was the scheme of the whole mail in voting scam.
Robert Barnes explained that ACB did indeed let us all down. There was no reason she couldn’t have read 100 pages and been prepared to rule on the last appeal as it was just a decision on a stay. Somebody got to her, and she folded.
Can’t blame POTUS. We the voters have to get him 50 non-swamp Senators. He has to nominate who he can get 50 votes for or it’s a waste of time. QUIT RUBBER STAMPING PEOPLE LIKE BEN SASSE AND MITT ROMNEY!
I hope what other Treepers are posting on here about North Carolina is correct, and even with the 9 days, it will be absentee ballots that have to be connected to a specific registered voter. That said, funny things have gone on with Absentees before (see AZ Senate 2018).
Florida and Georgia are safe, in my opinion, because they’re run by Trump allies.
I think he/we got Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. Besides the Trump voters, I believe we will see a ‘punishment vote.’ People voting for President Trump (or not voting at all) as a form of punishment for their governors, mayors, etc. ?
There is another form of what you describe: Many of us are so disgusted with how the president has been treated, we would crawl on broken glass to vote for Trump.
This is my concern in NC. I was shocked that the S.C. allowed this invitation to fraud with 9 extra days for counting ballots. I pray for a big victory for President Trump and Dan Forest. Cooper is the worst governor we’ve ever had and will stop at nothing to win.
I think the extension set by the Obama Judge in SC was to allow fraud for outing Graham from the Senate. Harrison is getting a metric butt ton of money from west coast liberals. It is a national attack to flip the senate.
Yes. I read that the late-night TV guys are all going after Graham. Flip the senate, but also Supreme Court revenge.
Hopefully, Lindsey will ride on PDJT’s coattails.
PDJT has his number and will keep him on an even shorter leash during the next term.
Quite simply, Miss Lindsay wouldn’t be in this tenuous position with continuous support of President Trump. Many South Carolinians are sick of his McCainitis. There have been good moments (Kavanaugh) but there have been too many idle promises (“I will bring them before Judiciary and we will get to the bottom of this”–bottom of what? the Swamp?)
Cooper is positioning himself for a national run. If he wants a Senate seat, I suggest he move to New York. They have no residency requirements and they would gladly talk someone with his track record.
gensesibility: My precinct is only 2 1/2 miles. I can easily walk it, not sure about crawling, but if the Lord is willing and the creek don’t rise, I’ll be there on Election Day.
I’m sure there will be cases AFTER the election the SC will rule on in those states. Nor is it clear to me if ACB had a choice to get involved or as associate justice was told she couldn’t participate.
She was probably told by the Chief Justice to “stand down”. LOL
You do not get the power dynamics in SCOTUS. The traitor Roberts cannot issue “orders” to any Justice about participation or decision in any case before it. They are truly independent in each of their individual decisions.
meow4me2: Nobody tells a Supreme Court Justice what they can or can not rule on, so it was her decision.
I’m here in NC and really annoyed at what happened. My fervent hope is that The President doesn’t need NC in order to declare victory. My big concern is cheating to keep our horrible democrat Governor, who is unfortunately my double second cousin!
Sympathies to you Kate. Every family has at least one black sheep. Yours happens to be the NC governor!
50? There’s literally zero non-swamp Senators in there now. How about we start with one?
Rand Paul isn’t swamp. Maybe you should try your demoralizing schtick over at Redstate.
I’m 99% sure SD agrees with me on the Senate. lol I usually say the entire Senate is corrupt with the “possible exception of Rand Paul” but even he doesn’t want to allow Trump to make recess appointments. Explain why he takes that position.
Georgia? Kemp gave us Kelly Loeffler when he could have given us Doug Collins.
28angelica28: I have heard Trump mention them both at two rallies. Doug Collins gets three times the cheers. Loeffler was probably one of the governor’s big donors.
Let’s hold off on the condemnation of ACB. The PA issue is still subject to review and a ruling by SCOTUS. ACB deferred, perhaps wisely for now. Trump will likely exceed 270 without a final result from PA and its 20 E C votes. Trump may (I believe he will) win PA by a margin that makes democrat vote fabrication in that state too risky or impossible. IF the need arises SCOTUS, will act. The issue in PA is not complex and 100 pages would be an extravagence. The leftist PA governor and the left leaning PA supreme court, wrongly re-wrote election law using the china virus as a pretext.
Add Mnn, NV, NH and 1 vote from Maine.
What the pundits never mention; all things the same as 2016 electorally, pdjt could lose both Pa AND Mi and still be at 270. All the drama to create hysteria about how it happened “again”.

IGNORE INSTINCTIVELY
Absolutely awesome alliteration actually.
In the Totality of what you said…I would agree. ?????
I have a neighbor who voted for Trump last time,now has a Biden sign in his yard.
Hubby talked to him,he has bought into the false narratives,says he has read “about all this stuff” blames the President for everything wrong.
That was before all the stuff about Hunter came out.Now I hope he feels like an idiot,since he “investigates” all this stuff.
I think there are people with Biden signs that will vote for the President.They are just too embarrassed to let people know they changed their minds again.
I don’t know about that. I think it really depends where you get your news from. Many people read “the news” and think they’re informed. They just accept it as true. When I challenge people to look at other sources, they tell me they have. But they do not look at source documents and consider what it means for themselves. I don’t blame them, they don’t have time.
We need to be cognizant of that. It’s why I send out links to articles from CTH and other sites that helps people figure it out for themselves.
Sort of like when the IG reports came out. I was also guilty of reading the summary first and thinking it was actually a summary of what was there instead of what the Democrats wanted to be there. That made me go back and read the document. Took about two pages to realize the two documents were not written by the same person and I’m no English teacher. If you have any formal education you recognize totally different style, word choices, etc.
Reminds me of bills submitted to Congress. Too much BS hiding the meat and potatoes. I favor a Constitutional amendment which requires all bills to be a maximum of 2 pages (1 inch margins no less than 10 point Times New Roman font) and written on a 9th grade level. That keeps so much pork from being heaved into every bill and makes it easily understandable to all citizens.
Talk to him about the Biden news. People instinctively know it is true.
Give me his email. I’ll explain to him the 3 policies that outsider Trump gave this country that you will NEVER get again from politicians in either party. We need to wake these people up.
Embarassed and/or fearful
Learned yesterday that the State of Illinois dropped its traditional absentee ballot form for this election. A request for an absentee ballot was treated the same as a request for a mail in ballot. Never thought a state with an election motto of ‘vote early and often’ needed to further disenfranchise its voters.
Could it be worse? Sure: the ballot requested a vote on a Constitutional amendment – WITHOUT PROVIDING THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE.
A state where the attorney generals, state’s attorneys and law enforcement support a governor shutting down sectors of the economy over a positivity rate… There is no longer a white flag left to waive.
LOL It is NEVER a good idea to give politicians MORE power in the decision about levels of taxation. Getting bombarded here about it being a “Fair Tax.” LOL
Thank you Sundance. Wise words indeed.
Also, remember they call Florida early for the Dems while the polls are still open in the panhandle to try and suppress the Republican vote there.
Don’t trust the early Florida call.
Hopefully Florida has learned that lesson from prior years. Brenda Snipes is gone but I’m sure her ilk still exists wherever ballots are counted in Democrat Districts in Florida are located.
Oh and they like to move those stuffed ballot boxes at night in unofficial vehicles.
joshashland: They shouldn’t call any states until all the polls close. I thought they had agreed to do that, but they just can’t restrain themselves. I can’t remember which election ’16 or the mid-terms but fox made an early call on one state, and it wasn’t in republican favor. Laura Ingram was all giggly and happy. I haven’t cared for her much sense.
The latest polling data suggest a Trump win, but I have a nagging fear caused by the frightening fact that half the country will vote to be ruled by a senile, corrupt old man and his out and out socialist successor. Regardless of the outcome, we patriots have a massive long-term fight on our hands.
We have to live with that nagging fear, paulashley, and it is traumatic. Nice summary.
To think that any party of any substance in America would/could run a “senile, corrupt old man” and think thy can get away with it???
Yes, we will remain at war for the next 4 years, but a time/term where we are on the side of
victory.
For my money, the last four years has been constant warfare – a WWIII battle. With this victory behind us our President Trump deserves 8 years of a normal Constitutional presidency.
My other reply to your comment: I don’t think in reality that they have anywhere close to “half the country.” All of their propagandists all of their voter fraud, works tightly tgether – lock-step – to make us feel this way.
Sundance helps us lighten the trauma every single day. Thanks, Sundance, for your words of wisdom, investigation, and encouragement. And we know we are fighting for life, liberty, and prosperity.
Paul, are you going to believe the media or your own eyes and ears? Biden will NOT win with votes. We all fear the cheating, but the red wave will be too much for them to steal. Be optimistic and get five people to the polls today or tomorrow. We will win.
let me fix this statement:
Biden will NOT win with legally cast votes.
“The approach is subtle, and the purpose is psychological”.
Agreed, but I’m not sure if it’s an intentional psy-op against us or severe wishful thinking on their part.
It’s calculated. The proof being that it happens every election cycle.
Yes, it is calculated. And it is war.
Copied from over at thedonald.win:
“You will never in your lifetime see an outpouring of love for a President like this. It is also love for the Country that Democrats want to burn to the ground. American people are sick of it. On Tuesday they lose again.”

Oh boy. The lefts beloved polling expert Nate Silver has been projecting a Biden win by significant margins for months. His only caveat being that he could be off due to fraud, meaning that Republicans may steal the election by fraud.
Now that slimy worm is back peddling. Not on the possible fraud line, but on Biden’s winning margin. I suspect that when the votes get counted, the credibility of the pollsters that democrats and their press love to use will be nil.
RCP will of course defend their miserable failures as it did in 2016 but it won’t matter and in doing so RCPs cred will suffer significantly also. The “hidden” or “shy” Trump voter will not supply cover for their obvious deception this time because they in fact aren’t hidden at all and are there for everyone to see at rallies and car caravans.
This is the Trump effect that we have seen play out time and time again from the time he first announced. So many once trusted and even reviled government and nongovernment entities supporting the swamp have suffered loss of credibility and trust. From the FBI and Intelligence Agencies, to pundits, to the fake “conservatives”, to the supposed hard news in the media, so called “fact checkers” and now the pollsters. All losing what credibility they had with so many of the electorate. Even the major sports leagues and NASCAR and those that make their living supposedly reporting sports have all lost their luster for so many of their former fans. Their matrix is collapsing and they seem to be clueless to that fact.
Early in the campaign season they predict GOP loss in order to depress the GOP vote. In the last few days they tighten the race up in order to protect their credibility, so that in the following years they can say, “We had that race about right.”
Yes that has been the pattern in the past but this time many of them aren’t even doing that this time! go to the RCP and look at the battleground state polls! Tomorrow is election day! If they were going to pull their usual stunt, they would have done so by now. And that game of showing a tighter race at the end is soooooooo transparent anyway.
Exactly. The entire Establishment—the Elites– academia, media, big tech, big entertainment, sports, the oligarchy– all their ships destroyed, turned to rubble, on the rock cliff of Trump.
Something is up in PA. The earlier mail-in ballot returns for Dems is way out of wack compared to all other states. Some 66% ofof Dems votes have been returned compared to 30 something for Republicans. That is the magical 2:1 ratio Dems have been bragging about. Yet in all other battle ground states, the numbers are within a few %, no where near what the Dems had hoped for.
It makes absolutely no sense that PA is so out of line compared to OH, MI, WI, and MN especially.
Some big BS brewing there I fear. We will see, but PA is going to be a nightmare.
It may not just be serindipity. Philadelphia is where Obama first went when he came back out of hiding. He went there to meet with the Democratic officials who would have the power to manipulate the voting in PA, much like Chicago mayor Daley did in 1960, wrongfully throwing the election in JFK’s behalf. Obama calls himself a “Community Organizer” but is in fact is a true Marxist trouble-maker. It is no coincidence as well, that shortly after Trump won election in 2016 that Obama made visits to Merkle and Xi, probably in an attempt to persuade them to not change their agreed to policies because he would ensure the Deep State would “Deep Six” Trump.
Obama … Seditious … Very Bad Guy.
I am pretty sure we will see in excess of 100% of eligible voters in the Philly area and surroundings. Might even see 100%+ of voting AGE adults in the area. They did that in areas of CA in 2018 without a GOP challenge.
Be prepared . Pray and fast . Soro’s plan B.
https://townhall.com/columnists/frankwright/2020/11/01/george-soross-plan-b-if-biden-loses-n2579176
Soros should be arrested – maybe the Marshals would do it since the FBI can’t be trusted.
The President is absolutely correct in stating the media is the enemy of the people.
Yep. On Tuesday, after 4 years of non-stop vicious lies and smear campaigns and illegal activity and conspiracies between the media and the Democrats, after expressing their snarling contempt of the working class, America is about to rise up and say, “WE HATE YOU BACK.” It’s going to be glorious.
“Ballots that the GOP believe have been corrupted”
The Texas and Harris County (Houston) GOP sat out of this court contest. The case was brought by a large GOP donor and three local candidates in Harris County. The court held that all of the procedures followed inside (signature validation, ID, etc) was followed with the people who voted curbside. There is a long-standing law that allows curbside for anyone who can’t get inside that the Dems thought they’d just expand to everyone for no good reason. In short, my opinion of this case was that it was a long shot to have 127k ballots invalidated when the “inside” Voting procedures were followed outside. There was also a precedent for this when curbside was allowed for a July local election due to COVID. That would have been the time to foresee that was a test run for November and challenge the curbside format. IMHO, the Texas Supreme Court is still reliably Conservative. The party sitting out was my first clue that it was a questionable challenge.
One Vote: Pre-registered with proof of citizenship. Proof of identity to receive ballot
One Day: Only exception is notarized absentee with restrictions.
Media blackout: Until last poll closes.
ANYTHING else opens the vote for fraud.
How many states have Voter ID laws? I know several have been struck down, even when voted on by the citizens of the states. Funny, I know that in 2008 a picture ID was required for anyone over 16 who wanted to attend an Obama rally. What’s good for the goose is denied to the gander!
Both honest Polling & Reporting is absent in MSM. Instead, we see political agenda ideology being pushed (and consumed) throughout the industry. Sometimes soft-peddled, mostly overt as of late.
I’ve discontinued watching all televised news provided on all national networks. I did so, because I realized that if I was to have any hope in learning the truth on any subject, I would have to find news sources I could wholly trust.
When I was of school age, I once had a Civics course teacher who taught me a very important lesson regarding news sources. A lesson I wish every person in America would likewise learn. That lesson was simply this – before you believe what a news source tells you (TV, Radio) or writes you (News mags, Internet outlets), ask yourself if that source has a good track record in providing you objective news. This will necessitate some work. Find the objective ones (not subjective) which report the news fairly without commentary to sway your opinion toward their agenda, then read or listen to them. I have several suggestiins, but I’ll hold off in giving them here. Find them yourselves if necessary. Discontinue day-to-day association with all non-objective news sources. You will find that these include virtually every MSM source.
Above all, when major TV news networks broadcast press conferences whereby a Govt Official (many times the President) provides a national speech on an important subject matter, or State of Union speech, or when an important political debate is televised for example, listen only to the speaker. Listen not to the news person(s) who shows up on the screen introducing the speaker beforehand, nor the ones talking to you 20 mins after the speaker has finished, for it is here where the MSM practices their darkest art of biased persuasion. It is here where they will tell you you heard things which you did not hear. It is here where they will tell you you did not hear what you did hear. And … Should you become suspicious that they are lying to you in their analysis, they will further intimidate you by implying that the majority of Americans feel the way they are reporting through false polling. Most people want to think like the majority of Americans and the MSM knows this. The ones who blindly regurgitate their views are the so-called “sheeple” of our day, and they are everywhere, totally clueless.
One becomes an informed consumer of the news when (s)he finds honest, credible non-MSM driven news sources and discards the previously biased ones. Additionally, simply trust your own abilities in deciding what you, yourself heard during news conferences, debates, State of the Union, etc. and leave it at that.

We have a long fight ahead of us, folks. Focus on 11/3/20!
Vote! Vote! Vote!
Leftist pollsters are doing all they can to make it look like Biden still has a chance because:
1) They need to make the useful idiots who they want to riot & lay siege to the White House think Biden got robbed.
AND
2) Making the low info democrat base think it’s close will make it more likely that they get out of bed, leave the house and go vote.
Don’t forget–the better to cheat with my pretty!
Whenever I see one of those Blue State/Red State Electoral maps prior to an election, I spend no time at all looking at it. I just move right along by. I’ve been that way about those maps since the ’90s. The same for polls.
Only after the election results are in will I slow down to take a look.
Before 2016, I just saw that the ‘experts’ were always wrong. After 2016, I found out why.
3. to use the false poll numbers to explain a Biden win if the cheating succeeds 🙁
FOLLOW 45!
2020 is Everything!!
K A M A L A is calling for all true believers as their campaign is POTEMKIN VILLAGE FAKE NEWS BIG TECH FANTASY:
watch this INSANITY
In reality what would happen with Commy like her in charge, would be both ropes are cut at the top.
Another Treeper shared one of this guys videos a few months ago so I started following the channel. I find this interesting. He actually gives some stats as to what percentage of people go against their own choice simply due to ‘friend’ influence and ‘expert’ influence when it comes to voting. Simply put, they vote for someone they don’t like because their friends or the “experts” in the news recommends this person over that person.
He also points out that pols have actually stated that they manipulate their findings and how.
The major point missed and that is touched in SD is that polling companies are hired to deliver a specific answer or deliver numbers supporting a specific narrative. That is the underlying reason for methods to skew polling methods and results.
There are very few if any rally Independent Polls anymore, if there ever were. I always, since my high school days, have looked to see who “commissioned” or “requested” the poll and then followed the trail from that point.
100% agreed! It was just a shock to me as to what actual percentage of ‘sway’ these polls and “expert” opinions have with people. I mean, I know that so many are simply sheep being lead to the slaughter but geez.
I guess I just don’t comprehend the desire or need to be accepted so badly that one would choose slavery over freedom. But then again, I’ve never walked to the beat of anyone else’s drum, I don’t even walk to the beat of my own drum… it’s a guitar!
I call it willful ignorance. The people believing this stuff get to live their lives undisturbed and the polls as well as MSM bias gives them the comforting rationale to not look deeper.
Watch the locations of riots ordered by the democrats closely, they are very careful to keep them away from places that could cause political trouble (as in awaken neutral voters or cause heavy crossover voting) or are the asset of a financial benefactor.
First we win this election. Then we settle scores.
That means you, media. That means you, pollsters. THAT MEANS YOU, ANTIFA/BLM!
That also means hypocritical (privileged) entertainment types in Hollywood, NFL, NBA, and yes, Academia (both grade school and higher education). Especially the very rich ones pushing anti-American socialistic policies, the kneelers who this Country made rich as well. Maybe force them to be the first to live up to their own espoused socialist agendas by taking all THEIR wealth away and distribute it to the homeless, leaving them with no more wealth than “Joe, the plumber”. See how they then “feel”.
Do your homework fellow patriots: Obama and Biden used a system called the “scorecard system” to win the election in 2012. It tampers with the transfer of data from voting machines in certain states(the ones needed to secure victory). Read article by Mary Fanning and Alan Jones on the American Report.
S.1321 was signed and put into law 2 weeks ago. It includes all voting computers, voting networks, voting reporting network data, etc under the law that protects our National Cybersecurity…with penalties. If they see it happening it can be stopped.
The major flaw is that somebody has to actually “report” the wrong doing or “flagged” results. If the Election Board of the wrong party is in charge, there will be NO report and no reason for an investigation. Plus, this order relies on the FEC, FBI and DoJ to actually do something…gee where could that go wrong??
My question: Has anybody seen Bill Barr, John Durham or Judge Sullivan? Are all three of these “virtuous” men laying low in some law library, studying up on the laws for the work that is before them?
Or, have they been spotted at their favorite country clubs chatting with fellow club members?
They certainly do not appear to be at work–on the the job bringing forth solutions to problems they have been charged to address.
I wonder why?
working on their resumes I suppose.
Judge Sullivan is making rulings on ballots.
Turn the media off until you have voted.
Also, voting may be somewhat ‘disrupted’ this year, be prepared for it. Once you are in the line then they have to let you vote. Pack a lunch, maybe dinner, bring a chair. A stout walking stick is also handy in some locations.
We got this.
I took a lot of voters to vote early for the first time ever so they couldn’t go sideways on me.
I hope Sundance is resting up while there is a chance.
Come Wednesday morning, the game will be on.
Hit that donate button. Sundance is gonna need another few whiteboards, and a whole lot of post-its. Get our phenominal dot-connector prep’d for battle.
I remember. I also remember FOX News calling the election for the Democrats to take over the House…while people were STILL VOTING with polling places STILL OPEN!!!!
tav144: I remember that too and commented on it earlier. I just wasn’t sure which election it was. Laura Ingram was positively giddy. I do remember that very well.

The Dems, Pollsters, and Newsies WORST NIGHTMARE COMING TO LIFE!!!!! And Presdient Trump has 5 on TAP Today…Now, question is: Where’s Ohiden BIDEN??? ??
he’s limping a few miles from home. The four (2 Bidens and 2 Harris’–yeah I know his name is Emhoff but he’s really Mr. Kamala Harris) will hit different parts of Pennsylvania. Barry was dispatched to Florida.
Compare and contrast:
A few more anecdotal signs of victory:
Gallup polls of >50%, incumbent never lost
S&P closing at end of Oct higher than beginning of July, incumbent never lost
Incumbent generally wins
former VP’s generally never wins
Undecideds almost always break in favor of incumbent
“former VP’s generally never wins”
Of the last 2 VPs to run, GHW Bush won big, and Al Gore narrowly lost.
But when was the last time, before Biden, that a former VP ran after skipping an election (i.e., Biden did not run in 2016, is running in 2020)?
Nixon lost ,then won 1960 ,1968
Nessun Dorma is an uplifting piece of music which ends with the words: Vincerø, Vincerø, Vincerø! Translation: I will win, I will win, I will win! TRUMP 2020! MAGA! God bless America!
I am feeling cold anger. Will the communists win or be turned back tomorrow? It is up to each of us to do our part to make sure we do not wake up to the suffering communism offers on Wednesday.
Today, I am doing the following:
Donate $100 to President Trump’s campaign.
Donate $100 to the CTH.
As a happy warrior, spread the word through fellowship with each person I encounter.
God speed and God’s blessings to all the Patriots!
The counter to polls– Dems should be very worried:
(Excellent compilation video of road/boat/campaign rallies)?

It’s just fascinated me the last few weeks to see the weasel words of pollsters juxtaposed with Trump trains, massive MAGA crowds at rallies and there’s poor old Joe with a half dozen morons in their cars getting drowned out by the Deplorable Chumps cheering for PDJT in the distance…
Nate Silver is the same pos that gave Hillary a 98% chance to win ON ELECTION DAY!! And him not believing there are “shy” Trump voters proves he’s a pathetic fraud who deserves no attention here!
Dont pay attention to the stupids from the MSM Whores of the CCP. Because…they’re stupid.
Nice concise summary Mike
We NEED to get these “Bureaucrats” OUT!
listen..
Hopefully the “Schedule F” designation effort by the President survives the judicial challenges that are coming. That is the one way to get around the stone walling by McConnell of the president’s actual appointee selections vs a McConnell swamp creature.
Doc, as I understand it, the EO that created “Schedule F” designated senior advisory positions that the Pres can appoint without going through Senate confirmation. In other words, choosing his advisors in his working cabinet. As I recall, Obama never met with his official cabinet for months after being elected, but just went about packing his people into every nook and cranny in the entire government apparatus and then transforming them into GSA career positions to create his own persisting shadow government that President Trump has been fighting the last four years.
The other obvious way around McConnell is for ONE honest Congress Critter to ask for a quorum call when they are on vacation. As you know, the Senate made a Rule that a quorum is presumed to exist unless challenged. That’s how they pass legislation with just a few people present, like at midnight on Christmas Eve.. With the Senate in recess, the President could appoint recess appointments. I don’t know why this hasn’t been done, it’s so simple. The consequences must be Really Really Bad.
IMHO the whole Party System is extra-constitutional and largely serves to legitimize evil people combining and conniving against the patriots trying to keep our Constitution and Declaration alive. President Trump is an almost unbelievably perfect President, always true to the Spirit of 76, not a petty party flea-ridden animal. No offense to flea-ridden animals who didn’t choose to be that way.
