Further to the Trump Will Win proposition is http://news.yahoo.com/shy-trump-voters-will-power-his-win-says-pollster-who-called-2016-race-203448623.html of 24 October 2020:
"‘Shy’ Trump voters will power his win, says pollster who called 2016 race" "Thanks to the hidden support from voters who are embarrassed to admit they will vote for Donald Trump, the president will be narrowly reelected on Nov. 3, says one of the few pollsters who correctly predicted his 2016 victory. Pollster Robert Cahaly, the head of the Georgia-based Trafalgar Group, saw interest in his company skyrocket in 2016 after he bucked the consensus of other pollsters and forecast that Trump would beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in Michigan and Pennsylvania, two states that were crucial to his victory. [Cahaly] credits a proprietary model of calculating a polling sample that takes into account the social pressure that leads many people to hide their support of a controversial, polarizing candidate like Trump, even from anonymous pollsters. It’s that same demographic that Trump often refers to as the “silent majority,” whom the president says will help him “win this election big.” Unlike the rally goers in [Make America Great Again] MAGA hats who have memorized the lyrics and sing along to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” these “shy Trump voters,” Cahaly told Yahoo News in an interview Friday, will show that the methods of most polling outfits are outdated and unreliable"...MORE Posted by plantagenet, Thursday, 29 October 2020 11:05:16 PM

Got this just now in one of those emails.
In their infinite wisdom, the United States' Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation? The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense. Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood. There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57. There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16. Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes. In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond) Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country. These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles. When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election. Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country! And...it's been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation's problems foment Posted by individual, Friday, 30 October 2020 8:49:15 AM

Hi Individual,
" .... it's been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation's problems foment ..... " Well, perhaps not our country, mate. You need to take more care when you cut and paste :) Joe Posted by loudmouth2, Friday, 30 October 2020 10:02:28 AM

The polls were hopelessly wrong in 2016.
The polls were hopelessly wrong about Brexit. The polls were wrong about Australia's last election. So let's all believe the polls!! I don't think we can draw any conclusions based on the polls. They're all over the place and there's just too much temptation to believe those that say what we want to hear. So my view is we sit back and see what happens. The results should be known by 15 Nov or thereabouts - although much earlier if there's a landslide one way or t'other. All I can say is that if somehow Trump pulls it off it'll be the most astonishing win in US history - or at least since Truman/Dewey. Given the forces ranged against him and their willingness to sacrifice all principles in the desire to get Trump out, its amazing he's still in with a show. Apart from the Democrats and never-Trump Republicans, Trump faces implacable opposition from the deep and not-so deep state (eg the FBI had evidence that the impeachment charges were unfounded, yet sat on it and hide it from the world), the legacy media(eg have been anti-Trump from the time he was elected and have co-ordinated efforts to hide the Hunter Biden scandal), and the social media barons (eg censoring the NY Post revelations). Normally any one of those would be enough to sink a presidency. But he keeps fighting. We'll know how successfully soon enough. Posted by mhaze, Friday, 30 October 2020 11:28:47 AM

Donald Trump needs 270 votes in the Electoral College
to win re-election. Trump's been president for 4 years and who knows if voters will be judging him on his record or blindly supporting him. Either way this will be a Referendum on Trump. The election in the key electoral states is likely to come down to how independent voters perceive Trump's handling of COVID - 19. The pandemic had hurt a lot of people and the question is are they going to blame Trump? Is the focus going to be on issues like the economy, jobs, healthcare, COVID? We'll have to wait and see. Will Trump go quietly if he loses? We'll have to wait and see. What will the next four years be like if Trump wins? We'll have to wait and see. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 30 October 2020 2:10:01 PM

Post PROOF of Trump supporting violence as you have claimed.
And post proof of your having criticised the Democratic party supporting looting, armed robbery, burning cities to the ground, murdering people in the streets because of their race, and the re-introduction of official segregation.
Post proof that you criticised the Democrats for actively promoting the spread of covid in the USA hoping to would make political advantage for them.
And why are you supporting perpetual war that has NOTHING TO DO with the defence of America, and channels BILLIONS of dollars into corrupt corporations and politicians? I find it hard to understand people who are as stupid and evil as to support that.
And you're saying it's okay to stab children in their head when they're halfway out their mother's birth canal, and call it a "right", because that's what the Democrats stand for. Yes?
Why do you support increased black unemployment and homelessness? Why?
If the police are defunded, you're SUPPORTING people's right to defend themselves from violent criminals, right? Or you're saying they should just get beaten, raped, robbed, and shot? Which? Because it's lunatic stuff either way. Explain yourself.
Why do you suppport war, violence, hate, racism, the re-introduction of racial segregation, thought police, mass political killings, bigotry, killing people in the street, burning cities to the ground, brainwashing little children, and totalitarian fascism?
You've obvioulsy been brainwashed.
