How Donald Trump came back from the political abyss
Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/3/2024 9:40:24 PM
When Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden in 2020, it seemed to be the death knell of his political career. His first term in office ended in chaos and condemnation - even from members of his own party. If he wins the election on Tuesday, it will be only the second time anyone has ever returned to the White House after previously losing a presidential re-election bid. “He gets knocked down and gets up twice as focused,” said Bryan Lanza, who has been a political adviser for the former president since Trump launched his 2016 campaign. “I don't think anybody should be surprised about this comeback.”

Are you excited? Nervous? Just can't wait for it to be over? I hear ya. Tomorrow is the big day, and we all want to know what's going to happen. Of course, no one can predict with 100% certainty, but some pollsters get more credibility than others when they have a record of accuracy. The AtlasIntel poll was the most accurate pollster of 2020, and so when they release a poll, it carries a lot of weight.
And on Monday evening, they dropped their final poll of the election, which includes both national and battleground state polling.
First, Trump is ahead nationally, 49.2% to Kamala Harris' 48.1%. In their head-to-head scenario,
Western security officials reportedly said they believe Russia is plotting to plant explosives aboard either commercial or passenger airplanes bound for the United States and Canada.
Two incendiary devices were shipped using the German logistics company DHL and ignited at DHL logistics hubs in Leipzig, Germany, and in Birmingham, England, in July, sparking a multinational investigation, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Security officials and sources familiar with the investigation told the Journal that intelligence agencies in Europe determined the explosions were caused by electric massagers implanted with a magnesium-based flammable substance.
A Pennsylvania judge is allowing Elon Musk's America PAC to continue its $1 million a day contest through Nov. 5, according to a ruling on Monday.
The ruling by Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta came hours after Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's testimony against America PAC on Monday. Kramer argued that the "sweepstakes" violates election laws and that it should be shut down.
Appearing as a witness on Monday, Krasner called the contest "a grift."
"This was all a political marketing masquerading as a lottery," the district attorney said. Earlier that day, it was revealed that the winners of America PAC's giveaway are not randomly selected.
The final national NBC News poll of the 2024 presidential campaign finds a neck and neck contest defined by clashing forces that have aided both Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump in their pursuit of the White House.
Taken together, the poll shows Harris getting support from 49% of registered voters in a head-to-head matchup, while Trump gets an identical 49%. Just 2% of voters say they’re unsure about the choice.
Boosting Harris: rising Democratic enthusiasm, a 20-point lead over Trump on the issue of abortion, and an advantage for Harris on which candidate better looks out for the middle class.
WASHINGTON – If Donald Trump is reelected to a second term in the White House, he would return to Washington with very different relationships than when he left the nation's capital in January 2021.
At the end of his first term, his standing among GOP lawmakers was precarious: The Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol building led to condemnations from both sides of the aisle and his historic second impeachment. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., delivered a scathing floor speech after Trump's Senate trial saying the lame duck president was "practically and morally responsible" for the riot, and

The New York Times’ chief political analyst warned Sunday that pollsters may not have solved the underlying issues they encountered in 2016 and 2020 and could once again be underestimating Donald Trump.
Times scribe Nate Cohn, while cautioning on X that he has “no idea whether our polls (or any polls) polls [are] ‘right,’ ” explained that inescapable survey bias may be spoiling the results because Democrats dramatically outpace white Republicans, a Trump voting bastion, when it comes to answering pollsters.
“Four years ago, the polls were thought to underestimate Mr. Trump because of nonresponse bias — in which his supporters were less likely to take
One of the United States’ foremost white supremacists is urging his followers to support Vice President Harris in the presidential election next week.
Richard Spencer, an avowed racist, antisemite and admirer of Nazism who coined the term “alt-right” and was a featured speaker when he took part in the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., called Harris the “best manager of the American empire.”
Spencer — who also gained international recognition after yelling “Hail Trump! Hail our people!” and being greeted with Nazi salutes during a white nationalist event in November 2016 — also condemned former President Trump’s strong support of Israel.
I warned you about suppression polls, and the mother of all suppression polls appears to have just dropped.
And it's not even from a swing state.
The latest Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll just dropped, and it claims that Kamala Harris has a three-point lead in Iowa.
"Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump in Iowa — a startling reversal for Democrats and Republicans who have all but written off the state’s presidential contest as a certain Trump victory," the Des Moines Register reports. "A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Vice President Harris leading former
Crowds swelled on Saturday at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Salem, Virginia, a state that leans toward Vice President Kamala Harris.
The former president’s visit to the Old Dominion suggest the Trump campaign believes it might be able to win the state.
If Trump wins the state, he will likely cruise to an Electoral College victory.
Trump is within two points of Harris (48-46 percent), a recent Rasmussen Reports poll found.
Trump lost the state in 2016 and 2020 by 5.3 percent and 10.1 percent, respectively.
“I think we have a really good chance to win the popular vote…in other words, we are gonna win!” Trump told attendees. “Remember this,

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) told podcaster Joe Rogan that former President Donald Trump continues to connect with people in his home state of Pennsylvania in a different way from previous Republican candidates.
Political prognosticators have pointed to Pennsylvania as being critical to Vice President Kamala Harris’ pathway to 270 electoral college votes as the public heads to the polls next week.
However, Democrat Senator John Fetterman has warned that former President Donald Trump’s economically populist message continues to resonate in the heartland of the Rust Belt state, an area which has been ravaged by globalist policies of deindustrialization and offshoring
Top Republicans believe that former President Donald Trump is fueling high turnout in down-ballot New York House races, sources familiar exclusively told Breitbart News.
Battleground races in New York could decide the balance of power in the House. In 2022, New York Republican victories enabled the GOP to clench control of the chamber. If Republicans defeat Democrats in 2024 and retain their seats, the party will have a strong chance of retaining a House majority.
All GOP-targeted districts have so far outperformed their historical 2022 turnout margins by as much as 50 percent,

With the election just days away, people on both sides are on edge but things are looking very good for Trump.
This is causing widespread panic in Hollywood, one of the most reliably liberal parts of the country. Liberal celebrities have shown over and over again that they will vote Democrat no matter what is happening in the rest of the nation.
Wealthy celebs seem even more out of touch as they do not feel the economic pain that has burdened people everywhere else for over three years now.
If Hollywood is panicked, that is not a good sign for Harris.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently appeared on MSNBC and said that if you vote Republican, you’re anti-woman and anti-American.
It has been amazing in this election cycle, how Democrats have become so comfortable insulting and degrading their fellow Americans for the crime of disagreeing with them.
Their deranged rhetoric makes them look very desperate, like they know they’re losing.

I think it wise to just vote and ignore the polls and pundits, many of whom are dealing from the bottom of the deck and bluffing. I’d also ignore those doomsters who claim on the basis of the 2020 election that it will be stolen. Sure, as I note below, there has been and will be a lot of cheating, but the Republicans are getting better at monitoring it and reducing it. Sure, the press is lying again, but as I show below, the legacy media has blown its credibility and alternate content providers are capturing audiences away from them.
This is what happens when Trump supporters are labeled “garbage,” “Nazis,” and “Fascists” by Democrat leaders and their media stenographers.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said Friday that the Democrats will support the peaceful transfer of power in January, but only “If it’s a free and fair election.”
Raskin was on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday, where he said, "When I say we will support a free and fair election, no we we're not going to allow them to steal it in the states, steal it with the Department of Justice or steal it with any other election official in the country. If it's a free and fair election, we will do what we've always done: Honor it."
Maher responded, "That is the Democrats' history: They honor it.
A Second Amendment and free speech advocate, Lily Tang Williams is the GOP candidate running for United States Congress in New Hampshire District 2. Williams' opponent is part of the D.C. machine: Maggie Goodlander worked as a Senate staffer, a White House aid, and as a deputy assistant attorney general under Attorney General Merrick Garland before resigning to run for the District 2 seat as a Democrat. The seat was held for 12 years by Ann McLane Kuster (D-NH), who announced her retirement from Congress at the end of March.

Former President Donald Trump is poised to secure a significant electoral victory, potentially “sweeping battleground states,” according to Rasmussen’s head pollster, who sees the current race favoring Trump in the national popular vote, suggesting a larger “political realignment” is underway, and foreseeing an outcome that could echo — or even exceed — Ronald Reagan’s historic landslide win over Jimmy Carter in 1980.
In a striking forecast days before the 2024 presidential election, Rasmussen’s head pollster, Mark Mitchell, is suggesting that Donald Trump will secure a strong lead nationally and dominate in key battleground states, positioning him for a sweeping victory. Mitchell even foresees a potential flip
In case you have not been paying attention – leftist groups around the country have been caught corrupting our elections by dumping tens of thousands of bogus ballot registrations into our voter rolls. This is taking place in state after state.

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania city officials announced eight days ago that they were investigating a massive fraudulent voter registration operation investigation involving thousands of fraudulent voter registrations. At least 2,500 ballot registrations were in question.
On Saturday, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania announced that they were also investigating hundreds of fake ballot registrations that were turned in recently by a questionable voter registration group.
The Pentagon is shirking its duty when it comes to providing active military members with the fundamental resources necessary to vote, according to three Republican congressmen. Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Mike Waltz (R-FL), and Bill Huizenga (R-MI) all signed a letter directed to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin demanding more resources for servicemembers.
“We urge you to mobilize all the necessary resources over the next seven days to give every American citizen wearing our nation’s uniform the opportunity to vote if they so desire, pursuant to all federal and state regulations governing elections,” the letter states.
Former President Trump invited the members of the Roanoke College women’s swim team who stood up against the radical left after a transgender athlete tried to join their team on the stage at his rally in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday.
Before bringing the swimmers on stage, Trump reminded the audience of the team’s “brave” stand in defending their rights as female athletes after a trans athlete tried to join their team. “Last year, the radical left’s gender insanity arrived right here in Salem when a man was allowed to transfer onto the Roanoke College’s women’s swim team,” Trump said. “I just met them backstage. They’re great swimmers. …
Angry viewers noticed how Kamala Harris' SNL skit appeared to be eerily similar to one in which Donald Trump took part in while campaigning for president in 2015.
Harris could be seen talking to herself as she made a surprise appearance on Saturday night as she sat in front of a mirror, speaking with actress Maya Rudolph who was portraying the Democratic presidential candidate.
But viewers were quick to note how the sketch was strikingly similar to one performed nine years earlier by Trump. (Photos) Just as in Harris' cold open, Trump was also seen talking to himself through the mirror, and asking for himself for advice.
