On the morning of Wednesday, November 9th, after all the ballots have been cast, and counting done, we will wake up to learn that billionaire businessman Donald J. Trump has been elected 45th President of the United States of America.Or maybe not.
The
liberal/media elite wants us to believe that the presidential race is
essentially over, Hillary Rodham Clinton is the 45th president,
and, with that glass ceiling cracked, America’s troubles are over.
Clinton
has consistently led in national polls. Her current Real Clear Politics Average shows
her besting Trump by 5.1% in the head-to-head match-up, and 5.4% in the 4-way
race.
Forget
the outlier polls: LA Times Daily Tracking, Rasmussen, Investor’s Business
Daily and others.
Forget
the fact that, now, the margin of error for polls is plus or minus 7%, not 3%.
Forget
that President Barack Obama has been a human wrecking ball, as evidenced by
his:
·
Paltry job creation record, except when it comes to secretarial,
retail, food service and social worker jobs;
·
Some 2.5 million illegal immigrants crossing
the Southern border since 2009… to name just a few salient examples.
And,
forget that Hillary Clinton would represent a third term for Obama, and that
over 60% of U.S. citizens believe America is on the wrong track.
Forget all this.
Hillary
Clinton will win (has won) an historic landslide victory, possibly bringing
along a newly Democratic-controlled House and Senate.
But,
seriously, what’s a voter to believe?
Reality.
In which
regard, consider that:
·
Trump consistently beat his Real Clear Politics Average during the
primaries. In New York, he won by 7% more than the polls suggested;
Pennsylvania, 10%; Rhode Island, 11%; Connecticut, 5%; Maryland, 9%; and
Indiana, 11%.
·
Conventional wisdom suggests that voters are loath to admit they
are voting for Trump.
·
WikiLeaks—regrettably the biggest “news” source this presidential
election season—exposes inflated polls in its latest Podesta Emails release
(10/23/16) in which Podesta is quoted suggesting “oversamples
for polling” to “maximize what we get out of our media polling.”
·
Emerson reported on October 13 (tables tab,
“Presidential Expect”) that African American support for Trump in Virginia
is 41.8%; Ohio, 30.3%; and North Carolina, 23.7%; with another poll pegging
their support in Florida at 20%—which would suggest a huge Trump
win.
·
Republicans are far outperforming Democrats in Florida, Michigan,
and Iowa, according to early voting indicators culled by www.L2political.com.
·
Trump represents change, as most recently reflected in his 100 Day Plan to Make America Great
Again presented in Gettysburg on Saturday, October
22, coincidentally the feast of Pope St. John Paul II.
Bottom
Line: Ignore the national polls signaling the race is over and vote for the
candidate who you think will take America in the right direction. Hint:
‘Yes, America is heading in the wrong direction’ is winning in polls by a
landslide now, which makes this year’s presidential vote essentially an IQ
test.
