We write as the New York Times has finally found damning evidence that Donald Trump is not the billionaire, successful businessman, he has always presented himself to be – some of us were long aware of this. He may be nearer to being a tax cheat. On the other side of the electoral ledger, Trump has fortuitously found Amy Barrett to buttress his position when (not if) the elections are thrown into the Supreme Court.

Currently, a range of polls have Joe Biden leading almost everywhere. Nationally, he leads Trump by between eight (8) and ten (10) points. In the six (6) to eight (8) battleground states, Biden has leads greater than the margins of error in about five (5) to six (6) of them. Trump leads in one (1) or two (2) and there are a few where there are statistical ties. There is some significant enlargement of the electoral map (battleground states) as states like Texas and Georgia beckon as if ‘fool’s gold’ for Democrats. These are where every election is won or lost.

Presidential elections in America, in recent times – yes, but throughout their history, have been bedevilled by all manner of fraud – on all sides, at different times, but particularly by Republicans, currently, so as to compensate for being the less populace of the two major parties, which it has become. Exit polling, the gold standard for elections, as the highly reliable measure for predicting outcomes and detecting fraud have often failed to avoid the opposite results within the American context. Unlike pre-election polling, no guesswork is required for exit polling which is globally deployed.

In the 2000 presidential elections George Bush, number two (2), was able to defeat Al Gore when the Supreme Court, which Trump has now stacked with loyalists, intervened and threw the elections to Bush. Of course, the Florida Republican Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, had already prepared the ground by removing tens of thousands of Afrikan-American voters from the rolls in strategic areas – they could not vote. If you were Black, with a criminal record, and your name was Brown all the Browns in your immediate areas were therewith removed from the voter rolls. This remains a central Republican voter suppression tactic.

This preparation of the battleground, as if for war, has been, all this time, going on behind the scenes by well-paid soldiers who know that their boss, Trump, never wants to be seen as a ‘loser’. Trump as the out-and-out fraudster and well aware of all the historic electoral shenanigans will be hard to be persuaded by what he sees as meaningless traditions. It should not be doubted that new systems of election rigging are being hatched as an ongoing project.

Trump should be believed when he contends that the only way he could lose is if the elections were unfair. We must see his attempts to manipulate the postal system; his inordinate control over Republican governors, like Ron DeSantis in Florida, a battleground state; and in the absence of a possible clear defeat, the reliability of a Supreme Court to appoint him, an easy ask. We concede though, that the court may not be as dependable as he would like it to be.

The 2004 elections were stolen based on electronic manipulation by George Bush or people acting on his behalf – essentially Karl Rove, who Bush called the ‘architect’. Rove and his fellow architects, again in Florida, were able to program voter machines so that votes for John Kerry were recognized, by the machines, as votes for Bush.

In Ohio, Ken Blackwell, a Black republican and former mayor of Cincinnati, oversaw the same kinds of built-in irregularities in certain counties as he certified numbers of electors inconsistent with actual registered voters. Bush’s approval ratings days before the election was 48%, with political momentum going against him. Normally when an incumbent president is below 50% he/she tends to lose. But Bush ‘won’ 51-48% in Ohio as the voting machines supplied by republican outfits included Diebold Election Systems, Inc. (DESI), Election Systems & Software (ESS) and Sequoia Voting Systems did the job intended. These are the companies which conspired with Karl Rove to steal two elections in a row and were the suppliers of 80% of all voting machines within the USA.

Notwithstanding the underlying election fraud by Bush, CNN had called the 2004 election for Kerry. But soon after and based on one of sixteen statistical impossibilities, a few thousand additional votes produced a five (5) point swing for Bush. This was also inconsistent with the exit polling results in the decisive states of Florida and Ohio. CNN then reversed itself and began calling the elections for Bush instead of Kerry. This action wiped out Kerry’s three (3) percentage points lead which he had gained up to 01:36 am and had Bush now leading by 2 percentage points in Florida. Only in America!

Pennsylvania also played a similar role in these fraudulent 2004 elections.

Enter Mitt Romney, and the 2012 elections, with Barack Obama seeking a second term. Romney comes along with the serial election fraudster Karl Rove. Maybe it was John McCain, given the man which he was said to be, who declined to participate in an election fraud against Obama in 2008. Donald Trump could never be depended upon to behave in such ways. History may indeed show that McCain created a break in the historic fraudulence of Karl Rove during the 2008 presidential elections – Obama v McCain.

Readers may recall Karl Rove, appearing on Fox News as commentator, in the 2012 elections, delaying a concession long after all indications were that Obama was being projected to be the winner of Ohio and thus would have garnered the 270 electoral votes to be the next president. Rove knew something only few others would have known.

It was Willian Skinner who alerted us about a report in the press concerning a motley group of hackers who were claiming to have discovered the planned electronic theft of Karl Rove and his associates and succeeded in blocking them, putting Rove’s agents into an electronic trap. As a result we are left to presume that Rove’s actions coupled with Romney’s long delayed concession was their way of giving the hidden and fraudulent hands more time to manifest this massive election fraud once more.

As we approach the first question and answer session on Tuesday (these could hardly pass for debates) Trump will see them as an opportunity to destroy Biden using his belligerent, uncouth, style. Biden’s handlers will be happy if they can get him out of there with at least a credible draw. There will be hardly any machinations, hopes, about winning given the damaged goods with which they have been handed. However, for Trump, less so than for Biden, the real game is taking place elsewhere and conducted by the forces of darkness from whence the whole panoply of American electoral fraud will be in a heightened state of readiness.

We have estimated that even if Joe Biden were to win the popular vote, win the Electoral College by a significant margin, win the exit polling, have all major media projecting him as the winner, by some chance have the Supreme Court declare him as winner, these will not be enough to convince Donald Trump that he is indeed anything less than the winner. Biden will then have to get Trump to concede and exit the White House, still. A dependence of the military brass is ill-advised. These may prove more difficult than winning the election as Trump has already prepared a case indicting the Democrats for engaging in massive election fraud. And as irrational as that maybe, we’ve seen this play reenacted for four years, Trump winning more often than not.

Biden the dependable nationalist, like Al Gore and John Kerry before him, may even find a way to capture defeat from the jaws of victory in order to preserve the republic and avoid a decent into civil unrest, even if the Supreme Court acted in his favour and against an adamant Donald Trump.

Of course, there will be demonstrations in the street regardless of final outcome..

There can be no daylight between the high-handed nomination of Amy Barrett and the election fraud being perpetrated by Donald J. Trump and those acting on his behalf. As this looming crisis to empire takes us on a slow march to a near unavoidable disaster it maybe high time for American policymakers to rethink all the structures on which this experiment was constructed. Certainly, an ‘exceptional nation’ should not have produced a Donald Trump, let alone have him elevated to the seat of power. A power position which then transforms a fraudster into a neo-fascist with the perceived power to say who, in the case of Venezuela, is to be that country’s president. The power of the presidency may be the one thing keeping Trump out of jail, Should he lose all bets are off. And Trump knows this too well.

Strengthened by the fraudulence of empire he can now do to America what the United States has for two hundred and fifty (250) years done to the rest of the world. One man, Donald J. Trump, has in a mere four (4) years done more damage to the United States of America than all the armies ever seen and not even a thousand Joe Bidens could recover it.

  1. White House senior adviser Stephen Miller has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently self-quarantining, The Hill has confirmed.

    Miller said he began a period of self-isolation several days ago before receiving a positive test for the coronavirus on Tuesday.

    “Over the last 5 days I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through yesterday. Today, I tested positive for COVID-19 and am in quarantine,” Miller said in a statement.

    Miller is among President Trump’s closest aides. He is frequently in the Oval Office and is one of Trump’s top policymakers and speechwriters. Miller was seen traveling Wednesday with the president alongside Hope Hicks, another top aide who tested positive the next day.


  2. Multiple White House staff members and Secret Service agents have tested positive for the coronavirus, the latest being Ivanka Trump’s personal assistant

  4. If anyone is trying to ponder how a God up above could conceive of a wicked virus to inflict on the world, perhaps the Trump, White House, Republican infections can give it all a sense of purpose. An invisible virus has penetrated the tightest security in the world, that not even weapons of mass destruction invented by human kind could penetrate. It’s all a matter of timing, fingers crossed let’s all hope Trump is done and this painful chapter is closed.

    “Look who’s talking.

    After hearing audio of Melania Trump seeming to call her a hooker, porn star Stormy Daniels accused the first lady of being the one who has sex for money.

    Tapes released by the first lady’s former friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoff Monday seem to record Melania calling Daniels, a.k.a. Stephanie Clifford, a “porn hooker” after learning the adult performer was being photographed for Vogue magazine in 2018.

    “Annie Leibovitz shot the porn hooker, as she will be in one of the issues, September or October,” the first lady is heard saying privately to her one-time confidant and aide.

    Daniels alleged in 2018 that she’d been paid to stay quiet about an affair she had with President Trump after Melania gave birth to their son Baron in 2006. She addressed the first lady’s remarks on Twitter Tuesday by implying it’s Melania who prostitutes herself by sleeping with the reality TV star-turned-politico.

    “Hahaha! Although I wasn’t paid for sex and therefore technically not a ‘hooker’ I’ll take being that over what you are any day,” Daniels tweeted. “You sold your p—sy AND your soul…and I’m legal. Keep talking about me.”

    Politics101 is steeped endlessly in accurate assessment of poll data…there are so many ‘temperature tests’ done by the campaigns (internally) and then by the media houses of the supposed ‘undecideds’ and the registered ‘partisans’ that its remarkable when results are miscalculated – as some suggested happened – like in 2016… but then covid temperatures are being misread too! 😎😊

    … which brings us to some current poll temperature readings…. Based on ALL historical analysis (2016) particularly and the ‘weird’ (unprecedented) metrics being polled now, UNLESS POTUS succeeds in delegitimizing the elections he is burnt TOAST!

    *POTUS beat Clinton by 7 points in 2016 with seniors 60 years plus – now in poll after poll he is losing by gargantuan spreads: 27 points in one (NBC/WSJ) and 60% to 39% in another (CNN/SSRS)!

    Add to that polls also show:

    *16% of white evangelicals supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 but 28% now say they support Joe Biden (from an August Fox News poll).

    *Trump won noncollege-educated white women in Wisconsin by 16% points. Now losing that group there by 9 points, a whopping 25 point swing.

    *Trump tied Clinton among college educated whites in Pennsylvania. Now its a Biden romp at 61% to 38%.

    *In Ohio, of anti-trump former GOP Gov Kasich, where Trump won union households by 13 points, he is losing by 8 points.

    All of this would spell DOOM in a NORMAL political space, but of course this is anything but that…

    And with folks like @John and the RNC Chairwoman spinning narratives so wonderfully this hard data is made out to be FALSE… This guy said here that starting with a 50/50 split in 2016 that “Trump may get in excess of 70% of the popular vote” if (some interesting internal) polling produced by the RNC was accurate …. That suggested that at a Minnesota rally 60% of attendees were NOT Republican with about 21% Democrat;17.2% did not vote in 2016 and
    8.4% had not voted in last 4 elections.

    Context: This is the state of the George Floyd death and unrest of course; a state POTUS lost by less than 50,000 votes… so emotions are raw with the law and order dynamic thus those numbers are really quite parochial and should not be translated nationally!

    But time will tell…. and all that comes back to ONE key point: If this man wins this election INSPITE of this daunting polling then the ENTIRE political sampling machinery in the US has to be thrown out as it would have been proved USELESS!


  14. If this man wins this election INSPITE of this daunting polling then the ENTIRE political sampling machinery in the US has to be thrown out as it would have been proved USELESS!

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    It was proven totally useless in 2016 and it was not thrown out then.

    Why would you think it would be thrown out now?

    The only way it will be thrown out is if the powers that be accept it has failed.

    It is a tool that is used to shape public opinion, not reflect it.

    In other words, it is a brainwashing tool.

    It works on those who believe it.


  15. If you can’t figure out that you will remain numbered among the brainwashed.


  16. Well, since nobody answered my question – when asked if he was not worried about holding maskless and packed indoor rallies Trump answered, “No. I’m way up here on the stage.”

    Didn’t even realize what that said.

    “I am safe and the health of my supporters never even crossed my mind.”

    The creatures who support him are unbelievably stupid.


  17. When it comes to polls, I would not trust what whites say. I can easily google a couple of situations where their votes and poll numbers are in disagreement.

    This particulary true if it is a ‘mixed race’ (pun), but the fact that it is two white guys may add credibility to the numbers.

    Cultism is a powerful thing. Jim Jones got nine hundred to kill themselves for him. Because he did not just kill them, they allowed it. Basically, you can talk all of the crap you want, if you do so convincingly, people believe it. (John is applying this approach, probably trying to understand why we here have not dropped into his thinking yet).

    And for others their hatred and their racism exceeds even their concern for their own health.

    @Mr Blogmaster your indulgence please… this is the correct posting!

    @Theo, I can deal with your analysis of polling but @John, for a guy who accepts Limbaugh as his oracle I am ROFL at YOU saying: “If you can’t figure out that you will remain numbered among the brainwashed.’

    Anyhow, as I regain a siting position and reset from that laughing fit I bluntly tell you to STOP BSing: Any decent student of politics KNOWS that a PROPER reading of 2016 data clearly showed that Trump COULD win.

    Let’s not rehash this tired ground with prolix but the average of polls PARTICULARLY after the Comey bombshell had Clinton no more than 2.3 points ahead … that you KNOW is margin of error territory… or in short EITHER one can win! … Even here on BU I recall our commentaries shewing towards a Trump victory with some of us lamenting with @Pieces that an oppo Trump bombshell was needed to stop him!

    So PLEASE cut the crap… these polls numbers are way off the charts and trending well away from error margin territory.. so as the blogger alluded to, unless folks are lying or separately the data is totally useless this s completely different to 2016!

    Anyhow here is an interesting lil tidbit… do you guys remember Leona Helmsley the NY hotelier who was described as recall as the ‘Queen of Mean’!… Well here is a cool comparison to our current ‘King of Nasty’ and his tax evasion like the $70,000 of personal hair expenses as a tax write off:

    “In 1989, the real estate mogul Leona Helmsley was sentenced to four years in prison for tax evasion after she tried to write off improvements to her estate in Greenwich, Conn., as business expenses.

    “One of her lawyers was Alan Dershowitz, who defended Mr. Trump during the impeachment proceedings.

    “The United States attorney who brought the charges? Rudolph W. Giuliani, who appeared this week with Mr. Trump to denounce The Times’s reporting and has called Mr. Trump a “genius” for finding ways to shrink his tax bill.”

    Amazing how the circuitous elements of life often appear so very symmetrical !


  20. So if what they are saying is true…why does anyone need a vaccine, especially since Prince Donald discharged himself from the hospital within 48 hours and declared himself healed from Covid.

    ….why is UK, US and everyone else running around creating vaccines and for whom….when it’s clear that with social distancing and wearing masks, the virus will eventually die off on its own, as many have done before, through the ages.

    The entire pandemic is based on the (FALSE) premise on the reliability of the PCR test, which we all know was NOT developed to determine pathology or disease, but rather identify segments of RNA or DNA.

  21. There are possibly 4 different pollsters.

    The Republican Party – not available for public consumption
    The Democrat Party – not available for public consumption
    The Media (Democrat) – available for public consumption and brainwashing
    Possibly a fourth set of actually independent pollsters. – Need to be ferreted out

    Any pollster who got 2016 right is possibly independent so if you find one such example, good chance its result in 2020 is right.

    Me, I like the ocular proof of a Trump Rally and a Biden Rally.

    Bigger samples, at least in the case of a Trump Rally and 60% are not republican!!

    Rush Limbaugh happens to agree with what I see.

  25. Saw that one too.

    But look at his assessment of the economy.

    None of the past elections had COVID so his assessment of the economy could be off bigly.

  27. You can’t compare the economy in an election year with no COVID with the economy in an election year with COVID.

    His model does not comprehend COVID.

    If as is generally accepted Trump’s base has stuck with him then he is in a winnable position.

    Then add what your eyes tell you is happening at Trump rallies and he is in a position from which only something weird could cause him to lose!!

    I don’t believe the polls are right, I think they are way off.

    I agree with his score on the economy. The reason the economy is in the tank does not matter. Both the long and short term economy are either completely in the tank of iffy at best so for me the economy scores were false.

    Two points I think he got potentially wrong compared to my scoring where I rated true for
    1) Social Unrest because the cities mostly democratic cities did not manage the protests properly nor ask for Federal assistance when it was getting out of hand and property damage was escalating.
    2) Foreign Military Success since I see not starting any wars and calling out China on the virus possibly being seen as showing a backbone and strength.

    I don’t think the polling matters because of the mail-in ballot fiasco. This election like the Bush/Gore one will be decided in the Supreme Court.
    The Trump supporters will go to the polls on election day while the democrats will either stay home or try mail-in ballots.


  33. Here is another way of looking at it.

    Conventional wisdom is Trump’s base will stay with him.

    Trump’s base gave him 304 electoral votes and Clinton got 227.

    What states did Trump win last time that will no longer support him?

    He just needs 270 votes.

    Even if there are states that can’t finalise the election due to irregularities, once he gets 270 it won’t matter.

    His competition can likewise lose some of the states they won last time.

    The Democrats have gambled and sown the wind.

    They are in a precarious position never contemplated, like COVID, by the professor’s model.

    So I think he will win easy.

    The problem as I see it is the destabilised Democrat States and their ability to elect Senators and Congressmen/women.


  34. Which Senators/Congress men/women face the ballot in 2020?

    It utterly amazing… Professor Lichtman had this dat on his website for sometime now and his analysis is the same he used last cycle when he had Trump to win against all odds; it should be noted that the LA Times also ran a continuous focus group model which also predicted the current POTUS victory….

    Yet here we are disparaging his current analysis as less than accurate because covid is too colossal an outlier,,, REALLY! … His predictions worked with Bush 41 too and the Kuwait war an interesting outlier too – not as massive – of course!

    Nonsense … it’s what it is… POTUS deserves to lose by all practical measures and when seen via Lichtman’s 13 point lens it’s also quite damning. The simply realty is that this deplorable leader could easily have won his second term if he had managed the pandemic properly as his sensible actions would have given us an economy that would have started even now to regroup and that would have offered him a smooth glide path to success against a lack-luster, older Joe Biden.

    It’s too simplistic to believe that the base of either party can make take the candidate to a “winnable position” because elections are mostly won/lost on the margins: the professed independents in the ‘swing states’. Surely partisan base supporters can stay ta home and depress their candidate’s results but this one will be decided by the “independent” non-registered citizens!

    Steeepse … what happens at Trump rally is demagoguery and attendees who like that spectacle … they represent only a small segment of the electorate and no level of alternative factkery will make it true that 60% of rally goers are someone NOT Republican… what a lark: because you are not registered as such thus you aren’t!

    Incidentally, polling is generally done by THIRD party independent contractors for the media houses … the data is expected to be FREE of any bias and based of statistically accepted modeling.. And of course ALL polls are snap-shots that are subject to error,

    Then add what your eyes tell you is happening at Trump rallies and he is in a position from which only something weird could cause him to lose!!

    The Republican Party – not available for public consumption
    The Democrat Party – not available for public consumption

  37. I’m just applying common sense!!

    I don’t think the Presidential race will be won by Biden and even if the Democrats are able to cast a pall on results in some states, once Trump gets 270 he is safe.

    But I think he will get far more …. far far more

    It is the Democrats that might lose sold Democrat states because they have promoted riots, looting and murder.

    They are the party of the anarchists.

    @DPD
    Professor Lichtman’s 13 points are scientifically sound when you think about it but where each point would be easy to score in a normal election year, COVID in the mix makes the simple true or false scoring for some points a little tricky. e.g. Long term economy, do you think people have faith they will be able to regain jobs within the next year or are they scared their job is gone for good.

    What I would like to see is some UWI type use his principles and develop something similar for Barbados election seats.

    Quote: “COVID impact is very peculiar but I suspect the effect is balanced out since it is such a polarising topic and will be until the election passes.”

    This makes absolutely NO sense to me. Of course “The latest polling list COVID 19 as the number one concern above the economy” bcz EVERYTHING about covid IMPACTS and decimates the economy. The economy has always been the driving force in every US election in recent years… again with Bush 41: he prosecuted a very popular Kuwait war intervention and had stratospheric popularity across both parties as a result… he still LOST badly based on economic head-wings!

    So if we accept that covid causes citizens to lose “faith they will be able to regain jobs within the next year or [be] scared their job is gone for good” why would they vote again for a tax-evading billionaire who shows a total lack of empathy for their woes!!!

    Quote: “I don’t think the polling matters because of the mail-in ballot fiasco. […]The Trump supporters will go to the polls on election day while the democrats will either stay home or try mail-in ballots.”

    This is WHAT those who sell DISNFORMATON and anarchy want but it’s a nonsense and MUST be exposed as such. There are five US states which currently conduct elections almost entirely by mail. The PROCESS is NOT new nor particularly fraught with controversy OTHER than what has been stoked by this POTUS and the RNC…. The US ALWAYS allowed all other states to allow any registered voter to apply for mail-in ballots or in some states to request one with a valid excuse.

    That Republicans have done EVERYTHNG possible to create a fiasco where there should be NONE is transparent. It will not work. Dems will line up with masks and social distanced to vote or they will submit their ballots in drop-boxes or via mail (with the witness sigs demanded) and properly filled-out. … The maddening reality is that they MUST do this because the data is showing that already submitted mail-ballots have an astronomically higher % of rejections (for missing data, inaccurate details etc) among Blacks and minorities !… this cannot continue.

    The election will be won fairly and properly and IF SCOTUS is involved the CJ one can surmise will NOT allow any illegality to prop up a crooked winner … we should not anticipate any handing chads to be at issue here… thus voters need to get their ballots in ON TIME and have then properly prepared or get in line early.


  41. Taylor Swift will vote for Biden. Her announcement is obviously designed to influence her millions of followers.

  43. Donald Trump, his administration and senate republicans are in a meltdown of madness.

    Certainly does not help that Joe Biden and other Democratic candidates are extending their leads to the point where only a massive electronic fraud could save Trump and his party from a near total destruction.

    Biden, who himself should be subjected to a more rigorous interrogation, now has as high as a 16 point lead in some national polls,
    With significant leads in almost all the swing states.

    That 16 inch deckie is firmly planted in Trump’s “shithole”. A deckie which is driving Trump to a state of uber madness and republican candidate to political suicide.

    @DPD
    It is true what you state about COVID and the Economy but everybody will not put all the blame on Trump for failure of the economy as would have normally have happened without COVID.

    The total polarisation of COVID has people split down the middle like people on a tug of war rope pulling in different directions. Some will blame Trump totally, some will see him as the prodigal son sent to save us all, some might not even blame him at all and blame Democrats, media, China, etc. for the failure. Where the numbers fall in the various camps will determine where people will vote.

    Absentee ballots would not be a problem but the other Mail-in ballots will be a mess in states that have never done it in these volumes before. You cannot implement such drastic changes in the voting process at the last minute and not expect it to go horribly wrong.

    Look to the CXC Paper 2 fiasco to see what happens when you central pillars to the established processes at the last minute. There will always be major fallout. This election will be just like the CXC mess destined for the Supreme Court unless there is a massive landslide so they better fill that 9th seat to prevent the possibility of a deadlock even rearing its head.


  45. Let us stick with the polls to get a feel for how the electorate is feeling.
