My reasons why Trump will win comfortably; did the Dems purposefully punt this round?

I have peace about it - there are too many signs that Trump will win

Biggest questions:

Why did the Dems not put a solid VP on the ticket?

Why not run Big Mike?

Why are Governors and Mayors mobilizing for “protests”?

Why did Kamala pull money from NC?

Why did TRUMP get free NFL ads worth thrice what SNL exposure is worth?

Why did the WAPO, LA Times & USA Today refuse to offer a presidential endorsement?

Why did Jeff Bezos write an op-ed explaining why he will hire more “conservative voices”?

Lastly, why is Elon so damned confident?

No need to worry Baws, we got this

No. They don’t have that capability.

I honestly think believed Trump was done after 2020 and wouldn't run again or the RNC would take care of him.

They went with identity politics with Kamala as VP and didn't expect Biden to fall off a cliff before election day. The planned poorly and had to punt it.

Punting this election would probably be the smart move for Supreme Court game play given that other than Thomas the Court is still young.

Focus on getting someone in 2028 and potentially an 8 year window.

Effectively.

Nobody worth a frick wanted to do it. Nobody wanted to run for President, either. That's how they ended up with 2 idiots like Kamala-Walz

Why not run Big Mike?

She doesn't want to, generally

There will be a coordinated move to the middle/moderation post-election.

See above.

I really think the most important thing is Twitter.

Elon lead the charge in cleaning up Twitter. The democrats had full control over it during the last presidential election and it was 100% used to run interference for many of the videos that were surfacing.

Once that got cleaned up, after fighting through several months of people claiming it's dead, and Elon re-naming it X to frick with people and lay his claim to it, slowly other social media fell in line.

It sounds really stupid and I almost can't believe these are the problems we're facing today, but this is how people get their news these days and it can't ever be allowed to be so heavily slanted towards one side again.

You’re insane if you think Dems punted. The machine isn’t willingly giving up power

The Democrats have found out what corporations have known for the last 40 fricking years. Once you make a DEI/Affirmative Action hire, it’s absolutely fricking impossible to get rid of them no matter how fricking ignorant or incompetent they are.

Add in the fact that they were going to commit MASSIVE frickING VOTER FRAUD for anyone they put up -- and that was the only way they were ever going to fricking win, regardless -- they basically figured that going with the incompetent DEI hire was their only choice.

Punting would have been running Joe again. Sidelining him and having him openly disgruntled about it was not a good look

Back when Biden was dropping out i said then that if the Dems picked Kamala they were essentially capitulating the election.

But its been such a complete disaster I think it has repercussions beyond this year.

They actually managed to lose the monolithic voting blocks who have until this year been steadfast in their democratic support.

I sometimes wonder if the teams were just inept. Biden thought he was the greatest and the machine intended to "basement" him again this year. Kamala's team saw this as their only opportunity to be president and made a power play, using biden's over confidence to go debate trump.

Once the world saw that debacle, there was no other option but her. The machine had to get behind her. Kamala was also overconfident in herself and her team and they have done nothing but shite the bed.

You will see how much they punted when they start counting millions of mail in fraud ballots

Others might be relatively young but they are far from healthy. Not so sure Soto makes it another 4 years.

An African American will save this country after all. When Elon Musk bought Twitter it was game on.

They tried to kill him. That's not punting this election.

Like last time, they want to push the envelope even further on the cheat, to see where they need to cheat more next time. I don’t think they expected 2020 to be so successful, which is why they ran a ticket with two stooges that had no political future, and hid them in the basement. Their cheating success far exceeded their wildest wet dreams, so this time, they said, let’s push it a little further and annoint a complete moron with zero stripes (Biden at least had won many prior elections), if we and our gaslighting media get this Ho elected, we can go into cruise control driving this country to ruin.

The fact that this election is even close should scare anyone with a brain.

I don't believe they purposely punted. Some will be the center of some uncomfortable investigations if Trump wins. No Dems want that. If those strings begin to unwind, no telling who ends up getting subpoenas.
