Pennsylvania: A bad night for Trump and the GOP
Posted: November 9, 2022 by chrisharper in UncategorizedTags: Da Magnificent Seven, Pennsylvania vote
By Christopher Harper
Donald Trump had a lousy night in Pennsylvania.
Two top candidates he endorsed—Mehmet Oz for U.S. Senate and Doug Mastriano for governor—went down in flames in a state critical for any presidential candidate.
In 2016, Trump won Pennsylvania and its electoral votes by a hair. In 2020, Biden won.
What’s discouraging about the election is how mediocre the Democrat candidates were.
John Fetterman makes Bernie Sanders look like a right-winger. He served as a mayor in a small town near Pittsburgh and somehow became lieutenant governor. He suffered a stroke earlier this year and has had problems understanding questions and providing answers.
Still, he beat TV personality Oz by more than 100,000 votes in a 50-48 percent vote. Oz wasn’t a great campaigner, but he talked an excellent conservative line.
In the governor’s race, Democrat Josh Shapiro, the state attorney general, won handily despite Mastriano being a true conservative and solid Trump supporter.
Shapiro won by more than 600,000 votes in a 55-43 percent landside.
Fetterman and Shapiro outpolled Biden’s 2020 results in both races, particularly in the crucial suburbs around Philadelphia.
With party hack Bob Casey not up for reelection until 2024, the Democrats hold all the top positions in Pennsylvania for the first time in decades. Moreover, the U.S. House contingent will likely favor the Democrats, 9-8.
Fortunately, the Republicans will hold onto both houses of the state legislature. Unfortunately, the GOP doesn’t have enough votes to override vetoes.
The Pennsylvania results are worth dissecting because the state mirrors almost every aspect of the national electorate. Two major cities—Pittsburgh and Philadelphia—vote primarily Democrat, with a sprinkling of other outposts in the state. Almost every county, including mine, votes heavily Republican between the two coasts.
Alas, the votes in Pennsylvania flyover country weren’t enough to counter those in the cities.
Republicans have some significant issues ahead if they couldn’t break through in places where inflation, crime, and COVID chaos have dominated the conversation over the past few months.
My Advice to the GOP Candidates in “Red Mirage” States: Declare Victory!
Posted: November 8, 2022 by datechguy in UncategorizedYesterday Gateway Pundit linked to a story which perfectly illustrates the Dem game plan.
“[Republican candidates’] leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived “dumps” of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days — or even weeks — following Election Day.” ABC News said.
Oh a Mirage? You mean the votes are really there?
“[The Red Mirage is] likely to occur in some of the same states where the phenomenon presented itself last cycle — in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — battleground states that also happen to feature some of the most hotly-contested races of the election season.” ABC News said.
This kind of fraud is as old as elections themselves. Fund out how many votes you need to create and then create them, even if it takes days or weeks.
Never mind that until the last 5 years we managed to get results on election night in just about every election we’ve had over the last 60 years. Suddenly magically it’s not possible to get the vote counts done on election day, but only in key swing states and districts that Democrats control
I have advice for GOP candidates who find themselves in this situation tonight.
Declare victory!
Don’t wait for the Dem machines, don’t wait for the media. Declare victory loudly and establish the narrative. Put THEM in the situation where they are overturning an election, make THEM prove that any “magic ballots” that suddenly appear are legit.
Put them on the spot and don’t worry about what the MSM says, they’re not going to treat you well anyways so get off your duff and make the call.
Anyways that’s what I’d do.
The #Unexpectedly Chronicles One Post Election Prediction that I GUARANTEE Will Come True
Posted: November 7, 2022 by datechguy in elections, politics, UncategorizedTags: election 2022, media template, the unexpectedly chronicles
It is very hard to predict anything particularly the future and it’s even harder to predict the results of an election when you know the other side is going to be counting the ballots in key precincts without being watched but there is one prediction I can make with complete certainly.
I guarantee you that after the new GOP majority congress comes in. Whether that majority is large or small the MSM and the cable networks will suddenly decide that the opinions of the minority leaders of the house and senate will be will not only newsworthy and relevant but worth plenty of screen time and air time for their viewers, listeners and readers and said opinions will be advanced with the greatest possible reverence and spin.
Of course if the left manages to hold the senate then only the House’s minority leader will be relevant enough to air.
