The media continue with the narrative that Hillary swept the floor with Donald last week, yet the polls are still tightening.

Even Real Clear Politics has her lead now within the margin of error.

Meanwhile, reports are surfacing that some of these polls are tainted by over-reporting of registered Democrats.

I am still not hoping that Trump is actually going to pull off a popular vote win. I think there are too many leeches in this country for a popular vote win to be a possibility. Moreover, I stand by my prediction that a Democrat will be president in 2017 NO MATTER WHAT, even if it means Obama himself has to usurp a third term under a state of emergency.

And yet, what strikes me about the news of DNC over-reporting is that, even in this bizarre year when incumbents are losing worldwide against populists, with polls failing to predict those upsets, here in the United States the pollsters STILL have rig the system to make Hillary's numbers look good.

 

As much as I can't stand Hillary, I have to give her the edge in the debate. It kinda makes sense when you think about it. It would be like me trying to win an argument with the wife. Ain't gonna happen.

 

She assuredly won in debate class. But did she win in the real world? That's what matters.

Donald is a loose cannon-- pick your cliche. And he lost every primary debate. Yet here he is.

 

Yesterday in Harvard Square I talked to a looney left moonbat who was disgusted by the debate. She's had it with both of them. "They're all the same," she said. "There's no difference between the parties," she said. "This just shows money is all that matters," she said.

I said that Trump is running the cheapest campaign in American history, in adjusted dollars.

(And quite possibly the cheapest campaign for national leadership in human civilization, but I kept this to myself.)

I said the assertion that Donald is buying the presidency is absurd on its face. I said Hillary is outspending him at least 35-to-1, and he is still edging toward the lead in every poll.

The looney left moonbat said, "Well he can afford to spend nothing, because he's so famous! She has to spend hundreds of millions, because of all the free press he's getting!

To which I said, "Oh, yes. All that free press. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, they're all doing Trump so many favors. The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Boston Globe... Donald Trump is so, so lucky to have them on his side.

If Trump somehow wins, no doubt about it: He'll owe it all to them.

The moonbat did not respond. She stalked off spitting.

You just can't have a rational political discussion with people anymore.

P.S. "booby traps" are illegal and opens you up to a sizable lawsuit

 

Yeah. That happened.

 

Whether you believe it or not has ZERO relevance.

But I am curious.

Do you abide by the maxim that all press is good press, and that Donald is taking the lead thanks to the mainstream media?

Or do you think that he is taking the lead despite the mainstream media?



I argued for the latter, just to piss off the moonbat, but I am honestly conflicted myself. I think to some extent the free press is lifting his name recognition and forcing the dominant position in news cycles. But I just don't know how much that influence really counts.

What do you think?

 

I think you have a wild imagination and invent these scenarios in your head. Then you go over and over it again until you believe it actually happened. Just like believing Trump is winning.

And I'm not going to debate your imagination.

 

I don't believe Trump is winning. I have said, ad nauseum, that a Democrat will be president in 2017.

And I knew the media question would stump you.

To be fair, it stumps the experts. No one can explain why the polls are tightening. Or for that matter, why Donald is the Repulbican candidate in the first place. That question will be analyzed for years, even after Hillary wins (or Obama runs a third term).

But you didn't even try.

Not surprising, I guess. (shruggy)

Anyone else want to take a crack at it? Is the free press to Donald, by mainstream media, helping Donald or hurting him?

 

Hmmm...let's see. Criticism for me. Chastisement for the person who got sick of his signs being stolen. But not a word about the trespassing sign thief. Says a lot.

 

Are you kidding? I'm not sure if yoiu saw all those election fraud articles I posted this morning, but "it takes a village"...in just about every county, to steal a nomination for Hillary. (And I think they outnumber the actual number of voters casting ballots for her.)

They turned away more people from Trump's Melbourne rally than Hillary has had since her convention.

There were more Blacks4Trump protesters than Cliinton supporters at the opening of her Hollywood, FL campaign office last week, than

 

No it doesn't. It's just as petty as cars getting keyed for Obama stickers. I thought that it was petty was a given, but I suppose I shouldn't overestimate your understanding of ethics.

 

The question was answered appropriately. You created a fictional scenario to push a leading question. It got the answer it deserved.

 

So anyway...while I was trying to find the article with Geert Wilders' quote in it earlier, I did come across this. Apparently the Dutch see the media bias as well over here as to how differently Trump & Clinton are treated, along with the complete capitulation to "all things Muslim" over here and over there.


The Sound of Silence

8/11/16

Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan provides a little compare-and-contrast between the upcoming American presidential election and what’s currently going on in The Netherlands.

In America the presidential mudslinging campaigns are well on the way. Nothing new here. People tend to forget it, but almost all presidential elections have been (and will be) accompanied by lots of mudslinging. The few that weren’t were the dullest elections ever.

Now, take some comfort in the fact that Trump is vilified only as a buffoon. The worst the Democrats can do is laugh at the silly remarks made by Trump. Rest assured, if Trump had one unpaid parking ticket, they’d be right on top of it. They don’t because there isn’t anything they can use. In the other camp, it’s a whole different ballgame. Ms. Clinton has so many skeletons in her cupboard that Ikea’s stock is rising; she desperately needs more cupboards.

Yes, just about anyone is striking at Trump. Clinton is treated with kid* gloves (* no actual kids were harmed in the process). Yes, most of the media are firmly behind the Democrats and rigged the Democrat candidacy in Clinton’s favor. Yes, even the Republican party abhors the fact that they had to nominate Trump, and try to be as open as possible about it. But at least some of the media support Trump, as do many Americans. Even as notoriously a progressive activist as Michael Moore doubts Hillary Clinton can win, and I agree with him, albeit for different reasons.



That’s a far cry from The Netherlands, or Bananastan on the North Sea as I nowadays see it. In The Netherlands Geert Wilders is completely ignored in the media. Nothing is reported at all, unless it happens to be negative. No media attention whatsoever. That is no radio station, no TV station, no newspaper — nobody reports anything about Geert Wilders or the PVV. Unless it is something negative. He isn’t ridiculed anymore (didn’t work), nor is he vilified (didn’t work, either); instead he is stonewalled. By all media. None exempted. Just as you can do with Trump, I take some comfort in that Wilders has been proven 100% correct by the facts. It’s actually a lot worse than even he says. But he can’t speak the truth, much less what really needs to be done. If he did, he’d be arrested immediately.

I’ll translate a Facebook posting for you, composed by a Mr. Ersin Ulkar. He holds dual nationality, Dutch and Turkish. It’s not entirely unlikely that he lives off Dutch social benefits:

“I pray to Allah the almighty. With His help the Eiffel Tower will be renamed within ten years into the Sultan Abdul Tayyip Erdogan Tower. The Dom Church of Cologne will be renamed as Sultan Tayyip Mosque. Europe will be divided between Russia and the Ottoman Empire 2.0 (Turkey). It won’t be long.

Today 5 million Turks in Istanbul and 75 million Turks in Turkey swore vengeance and to destroy the West. Tuesday there will be a meeting between Erdogan and Putin. 8 hours has been set aside for that meeting. Plans will be discussed. Destroy the evil spirit. The USA won’t save Europe this time.

Your women will become our sluts in our harems. Your churches will burn. Your men will become our slaves! Your time has come. We will take revenge for Sultan Abdulhamit Han the second. We will rule! You will feel our jackboots! We will destroy! May Allah allow this to happen soon. Allah is great!”
​

There isn’t a word French in that, is there? He doesn’t really mince around the bush. But, in Bananastan on the North Sea, nothing is done about it. Yes, GeenStijl publicly nailed him. Afshin Ellian wrote a column in Elsevier.

And that’s about it. Noting else will be done. He won’t be extradited. He won’t get arrested. He won’t be asked to explain himself. He won’t lose his ‘precious’ Dutch citizenship. He won’t even get his benefits cut. Far more likely, he’ll get a lot extra. Because he has some ‘grievances’, belongs to the correct minority, is disadvantaged (his Dutch certainly is!) so empty a pot of gold and all his and our problems go away.

Here’s another pearl of perfect integration. The 15-year-old son of an imam walked the streets of Verviers (Belgium) at night calling loudly for the extermination of infidels. His daddy can be proud of him. He’s following in daddy’s footsteps, as daddy is a well-known very strict Salafist.

If I were to write anything not even a tenth as nasty, the Dutch government would scream for my extradition. Had I lived in The Netherlands, and written something not remotely as vile about Mohammedans, I’d be arrested, lose my job almost certainly, and would be lucky if the court were to settle for a steep fine only. Very likely the court would want to set an example and send me to jail. To frighten others into correct behavior. I’d be incarcerated in one of the few jails left, because currently the government is closing most of them down. From 2014 until 2018 no fewer than 32 complete prison complexes will be shut down. Due to “budget cuts”.

You probably read in The Gates about Mohammedans running amok in Europe, but it is far worse than you can possibly image. In America you can at least protect yourself to a fair extent. You can buy guns. In Europe that is unthinkable. In some European countries you can legally buy mace, but The Netherlands is not one of them. The — ahem — ‘best’ you can get is “Smurf Spray”. That’s a spray can with non-erasable blue paint (hence the name) so you can tag your assailant. Makes him really angry; if he hadn’t planned on killing you, he definitely will now. And the police? Donut, anyone? In Germany the police are under orders to ignore citizens’ complaints. In The Netherlands the police are too busy, too. They simply haven’t got the time to file your complaint. I have no idea with what, but very busy they are. And please do not try to defend yourself when assaulted, because both the Dutch and German police suddenly have plenty of time and ample manpower available to arrest you for inciting disrespect/discrimination/racial hatred/excessive violence/illegal weapons/looking mischievously or God knows what.

Assaults happen on a daily basis now, but they rarely reach the news. Only the very worst atrocities are reported. A simple gang rape, a mere mugging or a minor assault will not be reported in the news. The few cases that do reach the media are almost always reported as ‘lone wolves’ or ‘mentally deranged’. Yes, even the Mohammedan mass murderer of Nice was pictured at first as a ‘lone wolf’. They kept it up until it no longer could be denied. And after that, as a matter of fact. The Dutch media still called him a lone wolf and certainly not a real Mohammedan®, a full week after those facts were published internationally.

Or, if a victim happens to be gay, he is simply told not to flaunt it so openly, as he by now should know better. Several women who are genuinely in favor of refugees actually filed false rape accusations; they said that their assailants were European, while they were in fact refugees. Several women did this in Sweden and in Germany. They admitted the truth, but only after the police found out. Resulting in what? Not even a stern talking-to. Because they are women (how about double standards/patronizing/patriarchal?), they meant so well, and that sort of bull.

Making false accusations is a very serious crime, but if you do that for the sake of political correctness, it’s not only okay, it is even expected. Look at the coming Wilders trial (starting this autumn) where well over ten thousand false accusations have been filed. All you had to do is tick the offense you prefer and sign on the dotted line.

And yet, I’m moderately optimistic. Why? Because the PVV consistently polls at 35 seats. The last couple of months the polls were stable. Nobody lost or gained seats. But there are some changes behind the scenes. The Liberal Party (VVD) currently in government is going to be skinned. They hold 41 seats in parliament but the polls give them 25 at best. That’s what we see from the outside. Behind the scenes lots of people with higher education are now leaving the VVD. Yes, the fat cats and the mercenaries are leaving the sinking ship, hoping to gain a nice comfy job within the PVV, I know. But it’s a sign that even though the RMS VVD seems to be sailing smoothly, it’s actually taking on water.

Pim Fortuyn said before his murder it was five minutes before twelve. I’d say it’s about one o’clock now. Perhaps not too late. Don’t forget Winston Churchill only became prime minister on the very day Germany invaded Western Europe. After immense suffering and effort Germany was defeated. It could have been prevented easily, but the progressives of that era were just as naïve as ours are today.

There is a difference, though. In 1940 progressive activists weren’t actively supporting Germany. A few did, but not a lot. Today we not only have a fifth column (all our media), but a sixth (activists), seventh (most political parties and the courts), eight (refugees), ninth (terrorists already in the country) and a tenth column (resident dual-nationality Moroccans and Turks). It’s very likely Geert Wilders will win the elections in March. Even if he were to become prime minister, Churchill probably wouldn’t want to change places with him. Defeating Hitler was a whole lot easier.

Until those elections, nothing about the PVV in the news. Only the sound of lone wolves calling out the name of Allah’s Snackbar… But they aren’t real Mohammedans®, because real Mohammedans® don’t do that sort of thing.

ROM is a soft fascist. Cranks us with his innuendo, but won't argue rationally on points. Soft fascism. Demonization/dismissal of the opposition in order to deny the opposition's legitimacy, thereby allowing only one approved political narrative.

 

No I haven't seen these, I'll check them out.

 

The anecdote is not fictional. But even if it were, you're a boor and a bore. You also have tapioca and not much else between your ears. You'd think for yourself about the media question, if you could. But you can't. You are incapable. That much is plain.
