Could it be a landslide?

Trump will win. It should be by a landslide but the vote fraud of the democrats will not allow it.

btw, i was watching the old movie Gandhi with Ben Kingsley (whose comments in the bonus features section were fascinating)…and for some reason i was thinking of gandhi while i was reading about Trump:

“…In 2011, he addressed the National Achievers Congress in Sydney, Australia, to explain how he had achieved his success. He noted there were a couple of lessons not taught in business school that successful people must know. At the top of the list was this piece of advice: “Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard. I really believe it.”

WV,

So, what’s Kingsley like in real life? Is he as interesting in person as he is on film?

As one does.

Republican strategist Steve Schmidt said early Wednesday that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton could win more than 400 Electoral College votes on Nov. 8, adding that “the panic is beginning” among Republicans.

“I think she’s trending over 400,” Schmidt said.”

Schmidt also predicted that Democrats will take control of the Senate and are close to taking the House of Representatives.

“If this election was today, I think Republicans are down 25 seats, as of today, with the trend line going in the wrong direction,” he said.

“The panic is beginning.”

A Washington Post/Survey Monkey poll released Tuesday showed the former secretary of State leading in enough states to take 304 electoral votes — well above the 270 needed to win.

Clinton is leading Republican Donald Trump by 7.2 points in the RealClearPolitics average of national polling, 49.1 to 41.9 percent.

As of Wednesday, The New York Times gave Clinton a 92 percent chance of winning the election.

Elections are controlled at the state level, not by the feds. And most states’s election boards – representing well over half of the electoral votes needed to win – are controlled by Republicans, including Ohio and Florida and Michigan. And, in fact, the only states in which the elections are controlled by democrats are mortal locks to go to Clinton anyway. Like California and New York.

So the democrats are in no position whatsoever to conduct election fraud on any kind of scale that would flip a state blue, no matter what.

I have no doubt, though, that your crack team of alt-righters will find a couple of people who try to vote without being registered, or maybe even with an expired ID, or something, and as sure as I’m sitting here, that will be enough to unleash the wolves.

Voter fraud has been studied extensively, and has been demonstrated to be statistically irrelevant. The numbers are miniscule.

What does affect the outcome is voter suppression which is scrubbing the voting rolls of names, reducing the number of polling stations in certain precincts and understaffing those stations in order to create long lines, and sending threatening messages via robocalls and phony flyers. This has affected hundreds of thousands of voters, and – guess what? – is an exclusively Republican practice.

All that because they didn’t build a wall.

Which, of course, was my point. A wall wouldn’t work anyway.

The wall was an expensive, silly idea for the most part(approximately 14 Billion + annual maintenance costs). From what I understand approximately 40% of undocumented aliens had their visa’s expire.

I’m hoping the new set of old bureaucrats can actually accomplish some sort of worthwhile immigration reform package whatever that may be. Since Obamacare was passed, they can’t seem to agree on a single issue so nothing truly gets done.

I do not care about immigration. That issue is so far down the list of things that concern me that I’m not even sure it’s on the list. The vast majority of people are decent people who want to work and feel at the end of the day like they’ve done something worthwhile. There are freeloaders on this planet, but I’m pretty sure you will find they are spread out evenly amongst all the races and religions and so on, and if anything, the people who leave behind their families and everything they’ve known all their lives to go start anew in country, risking their lives in the process, well…they are probably – as a demographic – a little LESS likely to be freeloaders. You don’t go through all that just for an inadequate amount of food stamps.

I think the idea of spending $14 billion – or whatever the number is, I don’t even care – on a wall that won’t stop them from coming in anyway is just preposterous. But I don’t even take it the least bit seriously since nobody in government takes it seriously either. It isn’t happening, now or ever.

Not in that location. A better location might not need any stabilization effort.
