Trump rally goes horribly wrong, supporters RUN OUT
At a recent rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, Donald Trump’s speech quickly went off track, prompting many supporters to leave early. The rally underscored Trump's challenges in a state he shouldn’t need to defend, especially with the absence of his endorsed gubernatorial candidate, Mark Robinson, who is currently embroiled in scandal. Trump made grandiose claims, like reaching Mars by the end of his term, and bizarre accusations, such as migrants attacking "villages" in the Midwest. On inflation, Trump contradicted his earlier stance, now claiming low inflation reflects poor national performance. He also dismissed the idea of further debates with Kamala Harris, saying there’s not enough time remaining before Election Day. Despite attempting to address issues like women's poverty, his rhetoric failed to energize the crowd, as muted applause and an early exit by many attendees reflected growing disillusionment with his campaign.
Kamala takes BIGGEST LEAD EVER against Trump
Kamala Harris leads national polling with her largest margin yet—2.2 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics average, nearing 50% support. However, in key battleground states like Arizona and Georgia, Donald Trump has gained momentum, flipping both states red in recent polls. If Arizona and Georgia flip to Trump and other states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin follow, Trump could secure the presidency through the Electoral College, despite potentially losing the popular vote—similar to 2000 and 2016. Harris needs to retain those battlegrounds to avoid this scenario. There's a possible optimistic outcome where Harris holds Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, potentially even winning North Carolina, but the risk remains. Additionally, Nebraska’s electoral vote system could further complicate the race. If Republicans succeed in making Nebraska’s system "winner-take-all," Trump could gain another crucial vote, potentially leading to a 269-269 electoral tie. While there’s talk of a Harris landslide, the asymmetrical risk of Trump becoming president despite a Harris popular vote win remains a significant concern, requiring vigilance to guard against this possibility.
From yesterday’s show:
If Trump loses this ONE STATE, MAGA is DONE
North Carolina will play a critical role in the upcoming election. If Donald Trump loses the state, it could spell the end of his political movement, with Kamala Harris potentially securing an early and decisive victory. Trump currently leads North Carolina by a slim 0.4% according to the RealClearPolitics average, a troubling margin compared to his 1.5% win in 2020. Polls show Harris gaining ground, and if she wins North Carolina, it suggests victories in other key swing states like Georgia and Pennsylvania, potentially ending the election by 8 p.m. on November 5th. However, if Trump holds the state, the focus will shift to swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada, which could result in a prolonged and contested election, with tight margins and the potential for lawsuits and chaos. Trump needs to win North Carolina to have paths to 270 electoral votes, while it’s less critical for Harris, as she has a number of ways to win without it.
From yesterday’s show:
Jill Stein COLLAPSES, exposed as unserious HORRIBLE person
In a Breakfast Club interview, Green Party candidate Jill Stein faced criticism from Democratic strategist Angela Rye. Rye highlighted Stein's history of electoral losses, including her gubernatorial and presidential bids, questioning her path to victory in 2024. Stein’s response to Rye’s critique framed the comments as stemming from "white supremacy" and "colonialism," which was completely non-sensical. Stein’s critics argue that her rhetoric deflects from addressing legitimate concerns about her political record, pointing out her failure to win any significant election and her lack of basic political knowledge, as evidenced by her incorrect answer about the number of voting members in the U.S. House of Representatives. Stein’s role in the 2016 election arguably contributed to Hillary Clinton's loss in key states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, where Stein’s vote count exceeded Trump’s margin of victory. Critics assert that Stein's campaigns may once again undermine progressive goals and cost Kamala Harris the election.
